Coney Detroit is not the only place that digs its dogs.
On a smaller scale, Oshkosh, Wisc., has a Coney-loving culture.
Aldrich Tan writes in the Oshkosh Northwestern that patrons of local bars The Magnet, Bob's Trails End, and LeRoy's Bar and more are loyal to a variety of tried and true Coney Island hot dog recipes.
Tan wrote, "Different
bars have different toppings. 'The works' at Bob's Trails End is
mustard, chili sauce and onions. The Magnet serves its 'Mag Dogs' with
Sloppy Joe mix and horseradish. LeRoy's dogs come with a spicier Sloppy
Joe mix and large onion pieces on large rolls."
Sloppy Joe mix and horseradish? I think I'll stay in Coney Detrot.
I wish I had read this earlier. I was visiting a friend in Oshkosh in October and I would have loved to have tried some horseradish on my coney!
