A Local's Guide to the Best Restaurants in Detroit | Bon Appétit

"“Coney Island” refers both to a type of hot dog and the places serving them. The Coney is a snap-casing dog in a steamed bun covered with a hearts-kidneys-ground beef chili sauce, white onions, and yellow mustard. Most places use a local chili sold frozen, but the standout spots still make their own. The best downtown version isLafayette, whose chili is served steel forge–hot.Marcus Hamburgers, deep in a neighborhood right out of the first season of True Detective, pours chili creamy with roux over a rectangular beef patty. Sort of like White Castle on growth hormones." - ByBen Hall
