Coney dogs are often mistakenly thought to originate from Coney Island, but they are a Detroit delicacy. This regional dish features all-beef hot dogs, topped with a flavorful, beanless chili sauce made from finely ground beef, onions, and spices, all nestled in soft buns. The recipe shared emphasizes a thick, smooth chili sauce, achieved through the use of unique additions like miso and balsamic vinegar, moving away from traditional ingredients for a richer, balanced flavor. This approach highlights the diversity and adaptability of chili dog recipes.
Detroit-style Coney dogs are often misattributed to New York, but they are a unique creation from Detroit, characterized by a chili dog topped with flavorful beef chili, onions, and mustard.
The secret to a successful Coney dog lies in the chili sauce, which should be more condiment-like, enabling easy assembly with a snappy all-beef hot dog and soft bun.
