Coney Dog Showdown

Back in town we wanted to get a taste of pure Michigan...Coney Island hot dogs!(Matt was back in the game for this trip downtown.) There are two family owned restaurants that are next to each other and they each think that they came up with the idea for the Coney Dog. They have been on a show called Food Wars, which ironically was on the day after we had our own "food war".



First up, Lafayette Coney Island. This place has a fast pace and is a little like "Soup Nazi" feeling. The guy hollers out the order and threw the drinks on the table along with the food.




These hot dogs had great flavor and the chili was mighty tasty!



Up next: American Coney Island



This one had the diner feel to it and was much calmer! Quite tasty also.




I don't know why we didn't take any pictures of the actual food we ate, but we had a clear winner in our taste test. Lafayette 3 to 1 American. The major difference for us was the chili on top. (On Food Wars, American won.)



Bonus: Some sights of Detroit.




Thanks Dad and Mom for a fun visit!
