America's Best Hot Dog Town: Cast Your Vote

Dude!

Thanks for recognizing Lafayette and Athens Coney Island restaurants in downtown Detroit, but, really, you can't disqualify the D because we dress up our dogs with chili sauce, onions and mustard.

It's not fair. Thousands of the dogs we serve up at the hundred of Coney Island restaurants in Coney Detroit are home-grown Koegel's and Dearborn dogs.

It is just wrong to kick us to the curb because we embellish our dogs. There is hardly anyone who doesn's add a slash of mustard or a slide of pickle.

Our Coneys are so popular that in upstate New York and parts of Ontario, similar concoctions are called "Michigans." There is one loud, proud vote for Detroit's dogs.

I'm sure if you like bland tomatoes, plain yellow mustard, and raw onion, etc etc... then Chicago dogs are fine. I personally don't like drowning a good beef hotdog with all those condiments. Give me a delectable grilled Hebrew National topped with a slightly spicy mustard and some homemade relish...absolute perfection! If you go this route with a Vienna dog, you will soon realize where it pales in comparison to the much superior Hebrew National dog. Sauerkraut can also be a good option, but it's an acquired taste. I find tomatoes and yellow mustard to be a clash of flavors in any situation. Long live Hebrew National, king of the hotdogs!!!!

I second the opinion on Hot Doug's. Absolutely a must stop place, especially when they have the French Fries cooked in duck fat. *Sorry, I'm salivating on my keyboard*. Rabbit hot dogs with blueberrys and creme fraiche. Worth the wait.

Next time you're in Katz's get a pastrami sandwich AND a hot dog. Just take half the pastrami sandwich home.

Pink's hot dog in LA is, by far, the best hot dog I've ever eaten. I was in Kat'z last night but I didn't try their dogs. They looked tempting but that pastrami is too hard to forgo.
