So, I was reading this article about the best coney dogs in the US, and as a Michigander, I was proud to see that our state dominated the list. But believe it or not, the number one spot actually goes to a place in Arizona. Crazy, right?
Anyway, the article explained that coney dogs are a Midwest staple, and Michigan is the king when it comes to making them. The Detroit-style coney, in particular, is famous for its chili sauce and mustard toppings, and it’s a must-try if you’re ever in the area. Even better, it’s served at 24-hour diners, so you can indulge any time of day.
But despite Michigan’s strong showing on the list, the number one spot goes to a place in Arizona called Tucson’s El Guero Canelo. Apparently, their Sonoran-style coney dog, which is wrapped in bacon and topped with beans and jalapenos, is out of this world.
As someone who has had their fair share of coney dogs in Michigan, I have to admit, I’m intrigued by this Sonoran-style twist. It just goes to show that there are always new and exciting variations to try when it comes to classic dishes.
Overall, I think this article is a fun read that highlights the unique regional cuisine of the US. It’s always interesting to see how different states put their own spin on popular dishes, and it’s a great excuse to plan a road trip to try them all.
