Chili dog
A chili dog is a hot dog that is served topped with chili con carne (usually without beans). Often, other toppings are also added, such as cheese, onions, and mustard. One popular variety of chili dog is the Coney dog, which despite its name originally came from Michigan and not Brooklyn. A Coney dog is a hot dog piled high with chili, onions and mustard.[1] [2][3] A Michigan dog is similar to a Coney, as is a Texas hot dog, which is actually from Pennsylvania.[1]
Chili dogs are also popular in areas that have large Mexican-American populations, such as California, Texas and Arizona. In California, regional chains such as Pink's and Original Tommy's specialize in chili dogs and chili burgers. A major difference between chili dogs in the Southwestern United States and Coneys is that Southwestern chili dogs have spicier chili and are served with brown mustard or no mustard at all, whereas Coneys have spicier dogs and are usually served with yellow mustard. A Sonoran dog, served in Arizona, is a chili dog that also contains bacon and salsa.
