Chili Coney Dog Recipe Tips
What's the difference between a Coney dog and a chili dog?
They might seem like different names for the same style of hot dog, but Coney Island dogs are smothered with a meat sauce that's not exactly chili—plus onions and yellow mustard. Chili dogs can be topped with meat and bean chili as well as cheese or cheese sauce.
Where did the Coney dog originate?
This hot dog originated at the Coney Island boardwalk in Brooklyn, New York, where Nathan Handwerker (yes, that famous Nathan) first sold the meat-topped dogs.
What goes well with chili dogs?
Balance your meaty handheld meal with fresh sides like grilled corn on the cob, coleslaw, green bean salad, potato salad or a simple serving of fries or chips.
