Michigan Hot Dog




Michigans are a particular favorite in the northern Adirondacks of New York State , and have been so for many decades. An advertisement in the Friday, May 27, 1927, Plattsburgh Daily Republican announces the "Opening of the Michigan Hot-Dog Stand Tuesday May 24, located between the two dance halls...."

"Michigan hot dogs" are never called such in Michigan itself, nor anywhere else in the Midwest. The "coney" or "Coney Island dog" is a hot dog topped with onions and either Chili or a meatless chili called Coney Sauce . Conversely, the "Coney Island" is not called as such on Coney Island , or anywhere else in New York State; it's called either a "Michigan" or a "Red Hot." Finally, in southeast Michigan, a "Coney Island" is also a type of fast-food restaurant that primarily sells hot dogs and french fries.
