While the existence of Coney Dog in LA has staved off my insatiable desire to eat at Coney Islands every time I’m in Michigan, I still take advantage of Coney if it’s not too far out of the way. Case in point: National Coney Island at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport. When I was there last, I was hungry and rather than blowing money on a generic sandwich, I opted for some Coney.
Want a real treat? Try G&L’s “Greek-style” hot dog in Muskegon, Michigan. It comes with chili, onions, and mustard, just as you would expect. Eating one, however, makes my car immediately drive 237 miles east to the nearest Leo’s.
