    I'm 71 Lafayette is THEE only one I went to because that's where my parents took me to. Was not until 2012 I tried American because my new wife wanted to see the difference. I felt so outta place in that store. Unfortunately she did not like either of them. Due to the fact she's from Fairmont WV. They have their own version of it called Yann's dogs. I love those myself. But again they're 2 different species altogether. So here's to Yann's and Lafayette. Thank you

    I typically get mine with just mustard so I think they both taste equally great. That being said, Coney Island hot dogs do have that great snappy fresh texture to them so these places are top notch for me to get a couple of dogs with fries and a pop. American has more space to sit but Lafayette really puts on more of a show if the main guy is cooking at the time so I give a slight edge to Lafayette.

    I went to THE Nathans on Coney island and I was absolutely appalled that their ''chili dog'' had GD beans in the chili. Love her explanation of coney island the place vs the food. Oh and I would be in Lafayette between these two

    Both are great chili coneys, is like Cincinnati chili near me in N.Kentucky, NO KETCHUP on a hot dog !, that is for children 5 yrs old & under, should offer feather shredded mild cheddar cheese on the coneys like Cinti as it is delicious

      Not when you order them heavy everything.
      If the load ratio of chili:onion:mustard is to correct proportions, it’s impossible to pick that coney up.

    Is it OK to put shredded cheddar on a Coney Dog?

    • @UTRMichigan2010
      @UTRMichigan2010  8 місяців тому +1

      For my taste, I say no. I’m not a fan of adding cheese to an already powerful flavor party.

      @@UTRMichigan2010 Appreciate the tip. I like to try things as they're originally meant to be and wondered if adding cheese was an original popular option.
      I love chilli cheese dogs but recognize that a Coney Dog is something different. I'd love to get down to Detroit, do the Hitsville USA tour, do some record shopping and have a Coney (or two) one day. Quite a trek from Northern Ontario though and low Canadian dollar isn't helping.

    This man at Lafayette played you well. They are not the family-owned business they once were. I prefer they're coney snap over American's, but at the end of the day, that establishment is no longer family owned and operated
