You cannot come to Detroit and not eat the city’s famous Coney Dogs, a hotdog covered in chili, mustard and raw onions, and American Coney Island literally created them. Open since 1917 this institution is a throwback to what Detroit was and a testament to where it’s going. And after a Tiger’s game lets out, this place gets packed and Audrina needs to keep up with demand.

  1. In the mid-60's we used to go to a Greek hot dog place in Detroit, that's all I remember it being referred to as. It was downtown, we lived in Toledo, I remember it was good.

  2. Went here one night after a night of partying & man those coneys hit the spot! Knocked it back with a cold drink & I was ready to go to sleep lol

  3. Actually Todoroff's in Jackson Michigan was the first in 1914. He was a Greek immigrant from New York. His wasn't so runny making it a coney dog and not a chili dog like these. No tomato in his sauce. Basically just ground beef heart, cumin, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper stewed in water and its own fat. I add a little cayenne to mine.

  4. People like to talk about New York pizza and Chicago hot dogs…..but people sleep on Detroit food, it's way better
