What makes Coney Island dogs special?
A coney dog is one served on a soft bun with a delicious meat sauce. Coney island is famous for its chili dog but an authentic coney island hot dog is topped with coney island sauce, diced white onion and shredded cheese.
The “Coney” was first sold on the boardwalk of Coney Island by a Polish immigrant who founded “Nathans” food chain. The notoriety of this classic coney island dog quickly spread to Brooklyn and throughout the united states.
The signature meat mixture is like a beanless chili made with hamburger meat and tomato sauce. Its one of those great recipes that has quickly become a family favorite – we serve hot dog sauce on everything!
