Are Coney Dogs NOT unique to Detroit?

[nain rouge]

I recommend Red Hots in Highland Park also! Almost every Coney joint in Metro Detroit uses frozen National chili now. In fact, I believe that Lafayette, Duly's, and [[maybe) American all use National. Oh sure, they'll all tell you they add their own proprietary blend of spices to make it special, but if you're gonna sit here and tell me that a tablespoon or two of this or that makes a huge difference, I have a Matty Moroun bridge to sell ya! It's all in your head!

Only Red Hots still makes its own chili from scratch using an original recipe. If you eat there, you're eating the same coney the men that made all those Model T's ate.

EDIT: OK, American uses Detroit Chili Company chili.
