I like my hotdogs grilled over charcoal, a summertime favorite, but Texas Hots need to be fried on a griddle.

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.
Ha-ha, that looks like English but I have never seen many of the words before :)

We don't have anything like these pictures around here

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.)

Is the hot dog a type of sandwich?

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.

My dad has loved family owned since 1928, Deluxe Coney Island in Duluth Minnesota his whole life. He would usually treat us on trips to Duluth to coneys from the late sixties till early nineties. Both my parents also loved family owned since 1954 Sammy's pizza right across the street. I remember eating there in the seventies and my parents saying that the cheese had changed it didn't stretch like it used to.

In March my dad and I stayed at The D Casino in Vegas. The owner is from Detroit and the casino has a coney shop on Fremont street. The coneys there were nothing special.

If I had my druthers: Hebrew National dogs with coney-chili (no beans), onions and mustard; never ketchup.

I guess I've never had a proper Coney dog (unless a generic chilli dog counts?), but in my part of Colorado, Chicago-style can be had. and it seems alright. I go easy on the pickles because if overdone (it usually is) it's all I taste.

Every few years I get the craving, and prepare my own freelanced style dogs at home. I like them served on a crispy baguette, and this year since I had them on hand, I added thinly sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, Thomy German mustard, and one of my go-to condiments, Kewpie mayonnaise (Trust me, Kewpie is amazing, right up there with Huy Fung Sriracha).

I like hearty European style bread, onion, and German mustard. My favorite coney sauces are the ones here around Detroit, and Koegels. The Cinci sauce is good too. The Western NY one, not so much. NYC and Chicago style, I would put in two more categories, but yeah, not as good as the Middle Eastern sauces you get in Michigan, Ohio, Northern Kentucky.

... and I miss ranitidine.

My choice is Hebrew National all beef and it really is meat.
Costco hots dog. Mind you, nothing like a Coney Dog, but still an amazing food bargain.
[BTW: Impossible Burger is Unicorn meat].
