NBC's Today Show Put Coneys to the Test

In all the excitement about having Ann Curry and Al Roker of NBC's Today Show in Detroit recently, the real point of their visit has been obscured.

They were in Detroit to settle, once and for all, the debate about Detroit's classic Coney dogs, specifically, American vs. Lafayette.

Roker said, "To be frank, Ann, this was a doggone tough assignment!" He really did.

American's Grace Keros said, "It's a friendly rivalry, it really is, even though we still claim our product's better, because it is."

Lafayette's Ali Al Homi said, "They like the food, they like the service, they like Lafayette the best."

Curry did not say much.

After sampling each dog, Roker made his decision.

He declared them both to be the best.
