Did you know that there is a blog devoted to the life and lore of the noble coney dog? It is at: http://www.coneydetroit.com Curiouser still, he currently has a frontpage coney sauce recipe from a woman in Malaysia, and he links to her blog: http://tinyurl.com/3ajx9d See the comments. For the hell of it, since I'm learning Indonesian (a close relative of Malay, and mutually intelligible), I asked in that language whether a lot of people in Malaysia ate coney dogs. Her reply below means (I think) "Yes, lots of Malay people eat them here. If you try being a bit adventurous, you'll like them!" I'm still working on a translation for "Two on one, heavy onion, and an orange soda!" They're called Michigan dogs in upstate NY and Ontario/western Quebec. Anybody else ever encounter them in unlikely locations? | ||

I love the website! Can't ever seem to find a decent Detroit coney when I'm out of town. What's really strange is that I registered DetroitConey.com a few weeks ago (I didn't even know that ConeyDetroit.com existed). | ||

Hey, thanks for the Coney love. Will work up a series of posts in a week or two about this amazing place in Henderson, Nev., started by an ex-pat Detroiter named Manny Sanchez. Coneys. Better Made chips. Vernors. Sanders sundaes. So comforting to find a taste of home so close to the Las Vegas Strip. www.coneydetroit.com | ||

When I was in Iceland they had something similar to a coney dog. No chili, though, on the "traditional" one. It's sort of their version, I guess. And you can get lamb dogs, too. They were pretty good. The best place to get them was a little stand in a parking lot along the harbor where even Bill Clinton had stopped by to sample the hot dogs. | ||

Rb336, I had to pass on that and the rotten shark. I wanted to try Puffins but it wasn't the right time of year. The most "exotic" I got was Minke Whale. | ||

Unlikely location: Last summer, I was camping on Lake Champlain in Vermont. It was raining so I decided to go "into town" to eat lunch. Went to a diner and whoa and behold---Detroit Coney Islands on the menu. Sat and chatted with the owners who said they enjoyed them when in Detroit and wanted to add them to the menu. | ||
