I'm from Michigan and they're available all over the place around here. I prefer Koegel Vienna's over Nathan's or any other wiener. Traditional style coney meat sauce with lots of finely chopped onion and topped with mustard. Don't mind topping one with a little ketchup also. Buns have to be fresh too, of course. My only problem is heartburn. I try to prevent that problem by ingesting a proton-pump inhibitor pill before eating them. Let's hear what kind of coney dogs you guys and gals like and from where.

Sounds like Roger Ramjet‘s kryptonite.
Vienna Fire dog, coney style meat sauce (or hot dog chili), brown mustard, ketchup (preferably Hunt's, Heinz is second choice), sliced tomato, finely chopped (preferably Vidalia) onion (perhaps sautéed). Toasted fresh bun & if using cheese, put the cheese on the bun first

Heh, heh. Also better known as Prilosec OTC, Nexium or generic Omeprazole. An absolute life saver for people like me who have the problem.

Damn you just made me hungrier than I already was! I never heard of a Vienna Fire dog but that sounds lethally delicious.

Not to gross anybody out, but you gotta love those Vienna dogs!
What makes Vienna Beef hot dogs different?
The classic dog-stand Vienna is encased in natural sheep casing—a polite euphemism for intestine. Larger-size editions of the Vienna dog are stuffed into hog intestines. The ground beef, flavorings and additives are blended into a thick paste inside an industrial mixer.
Mmmmmmmm..... Now I know what makes them dog's so palatable, lol.

They've been around a while, too. So they are long-term proven good. (although the Fire Dog should have some warning that they are really quite hot).
1893
Over 27 million people flock to the Columbian Exposition/World’s Fair in Chicago to witness the latest inventions, including the Vienna® Beef hot dog, created by Austrian-Hungarian immigrants Emil Reichel and Samuel Ladany.

Fancy Yoopers and their highfalutin cuisine.
A proper coney utilizes the parts of the animal in question that polite people will not publicly discuss. The secret is to boil the dog, and never change the water. My favorite is a Macedonian take on American chili from Cincinnati.
My guess is the originators made their first batch without instructions and seasoned it until they could eat it.
Culinary heights were scaled, that fabled day.
(A shake of Prilosec is $.20 usd extra, Tobacco is free.)

Three "all the way". Best eaten at a NY System on the way home between 12:30 and 1:00 AM. with coffee milk. These are colloquially known as "gaggers".
I have to admit you have me intrigued. Here in Chicago where proper hot dogs were invented we do not know of these "Coney Dogs". Not h8tn, just sayin’.
no ketchup. Never!

Ya, some of those silly Yooper's also wanna secede from the lower peninsula. I hope that never happens. Found this little bit of trivia on a Detroit based website:
While no one place can definitively claim to be the birthplace of the Coney dog, Michigan, by sheer volume and duration of its Coney restaurants, makes a strong bid.
Where I live in Michigan, there's literally at least a half-dozen restaurants or diners serving coney dogs within walking distance from me. I'm also well aware that just because something originated somewhere doesn't automatically make it the best available.

Where the Vienna Dog was invented 1893 & that's what they look like with all the fixin's. I figured that "Coney" has become a generic term when away from Chigago. Because in Chicago you will be corrected on what you will be receiving if you ask for a "coney dog". Got my first one of these from a Wash., DC corner cart. "Chicago style" dog he said. But I like my pickle, pepper & relish on the side & a Vienna Fire dog inside with Cheese underneath (or no cheese). Great either way. Ketchup is a poor substitute for the tomatoes, but sometimes one must make that substitute.I have to admit you have me intrigued. Here in Chicago where proper hot dogs were invented

Skyline Chili rocks. Having spent a decade in Cincinnati, I can attest to how absolutely awesome it is. I still buy it at the store and make my own cheese coneys every other month or so. The chili itself is available either canned or frozen at grocery stores nationwide. From there it's just a matter of mincing some white onion in the processor, cooking your favorite hot dog any way you like (Skyline boils, but I prefer broiled till its black), slapping the dog on the bun, dab or mustard, spoon of onion, ladle on a couple of tablespoons of chili, and mound on as much mild or sharp grated cheddar as your conscience and cardiologist allow.
Let it settle and go run an extra 3 miles afterward.

GO SKYLINE! GOLD STAR IS A CLOSE 2ND! To the OP heartburn sucks for me as well. Even taking something before eating one of these doesn’t seem to help. But the food is so worth it.
Heresy. An actual New Yorker would never put Ketchup onna dog.
I prefer chili dogs to coney dogs myself. I have never had a coney sauce that tastes better than a good meat or meat and bean chili.
In Western New York we have what is known as the Texas Red Hot, which I like to call a "shit canoe", consists of a skinless Sahlens hot dog, cooked on a griddle, and placed in a steamed bun, then garnished with Weber's horseradish mustard, chopped onions, and a spicy hamburger meat sauce. YUM.
