Michigan Congressman John Dingell is betting a load of Coney Dogs from Cheli's Chili Bar that the Red Wings will beat the Pittsburgh Penguins for the Stanley Cup. The restaurant is owned bt Red Wing Chris Chelios.
Pennsylvania Congressman Mike Doyle is betting lunch at the Primanti Brothers restaurant in Pittsburgh, reports WXYZ-TV in Southfield, Mich.
The way we see it, Doyle wins either way.
Today's Detroit Free Press carries a story on the May 16 death of Barry (Opi) Openbrier, a one-time Lafayette Coney Island employee who became its owner after leading an employee buyout in the 1990a. He was 57 and died May 16.
Until the buyout, both the Lafayette and the adjoining American Coney Island had been owned by members of the Keros Family.
The Flint Expatriates blog takes up that city's version of the Coney Dog and says thaere may now be a vegan version of Flint Coneys.
What next?
The post also includes a link to the National Public Radio audio last fall from the Chicago conference last fall focusing on cased meats. The radio piece is about Flint Coneys. Still good listening.
