If you’re a native of Detroit, the debate isn’t about whether or not you know about coney dogs, it’s about which dogs you support. American Coney Island and Lafayette Coney Island are two hot dog institutions in Detroit that have been competing against each other for over 100 years. American Coney Island was opened in 1917 by owner Gust Keros after he had immigrated to Detroit from Greece. Soon after starting his business, Gust's brother William also immigrated to Detroit. Rather than helping Gust run American Coney Island, William decided to open his own restaurant right next door - Lafayette Coney Island - and the rest is history. 

You may be asking yourself "what is a coney dog"? A coney dog is an all-beef hot dog served on a steamed bun topped with chilli, chopped raw onion, and some yellow mustard. What makes each coney dog unique is the spice blend in its chilli and the "snap" of the dog. We challenge you to try both American Coney Island and Lafayette Coney Island for yourself to tell us which coney dog is better!

When you’re in Detroit, you absolutely need to visit both American Coney Island and Lafayette Coney Island. Regulars of each restaurant have sworn their allegiance to their preferred coney dog, and they stand by the restaurant of their choosing. This rivalry is so heated that once some Detroiter's swear their allegiance to a certain side, they won't even step foot in the other restaurant! So what team are you on - team American Coney Island or team Lafayette Coney Island? 

When trying to figure out where to eat in Detroit, be sure to consider grabbing a coney dog! No matter which restaurant you decide to eat at, grabbing a coney dog is a must for sports fans travelling to Detroit for Detroit Red Wings games, Detroit Pistons games, Detroit Lions games, and Detroit Tigers games!
