lol homemade secret sauce! Oh ok it’s a coney. I would still smash this though

[-]

whoareyouiameternal@reddit (OP)

it's really not like chilli at all. i almost wish it was? it's spiced and like, almost bitter? it's thicker and kind of grittier than a regular chilli with no tomatoes. overall very weird but ... enjoyable?

[-]

Fidel_Cashflows@reddit

Yeah, that's a typical northeastern meat sauce. Usually contains cocoa, cinnamon, and sugar. Kind of like white people Mole sauce. Not my thing, but it's a historic taste for people who grew up on it. If anyone wants to try it and has a Skyline Chili near them, they kind of do the same thing.

That doesn't look typical for Coney sauce. WAY too thick. I grew up in Detroit, the birthplace of Coney Island hot dogs (Gust Keros, 1910).

This stuff looks like some finely ground beef and a can of Manwich cooked for way too long.

[-]

Fidel_Cashflows@reddit

Coney dogs are from Detroit? Like the actual term or just hot dogs with meat sauce? Also, why is meat a condiment for meat? Shit makes no sense

[-]

DantesGame@reddit

Ha! Yeah, weird, huh? So the term "Coney" to refer to a hot dog in general came from Coney Island, NY where in 1867, an arcade vendor (Charles Feltman) started selling red hots. They were nicknamed "hot dogs", or more accurately at the time, "Coney Island dogs", but they didn't include chili.

It wasn't until 1910 when Constantine "Gust" Kyros started selling "Coney Island dogs" with Greek Coney sauce in them in Detroit. They included the signature Vidalia onions and squiggle of mustard to top them off.

Sounds like Cincinnati Chili. I live here and we have a lot of places like this.

[-]

Wedge20@reddit

Do you drag French fries across that "chili " ?? I know i would. I love local foods and takes on classics. Damn that looks good.

derpaderp2020@reddit

It's going to come out eventually the owner just has it everyone on this so he can occasionally shit in the sauce and watch people eat it to fulfill his kink. Mark my words.

[-]

chezfez@reddit

Old ground up hot dogs, mustard, ketchup and I'm sure I'm missing something else.

[-]

MagnetHype@reddit

You might find this hard to believe but ketchup actually does contain tomatoes.

[-]

mdjank@reddit

You might find this hard to believe but ketchup originally didn't contain tomatoes.

[-]

The-MadTitan@reddit

You might find this hard to believe but for 200 years it has, and almost always has in North America.

[-]

mdjank@reddit

You might find this hard to believe but 200 years accounts for less than one tenth of ketchup's 2300 year history.

[-]

The-MadTitan@reddit

You may find this hard to believe but no one, absolutely no one is ever referring to ancient mushroom spread as ketchup.

Is called meat sauce? I know a place that does similar for their dogs and it slaps.

[-]

Wondur13@reddit

So a coney dog?

[-]

Background-Air-8611@reddit

We call it Greek sauce where I grew up

Sounds like meat sauce on a garbage plate(my roommate was from Rochester)

Looks like a Michigan dog to me.

[-]

Odd-Lunch-1880@reddit

I've never seen chili look like that

[-]

roseorrueorlaurel@reddit

“Chili dog” is a really generous label. I think chili would be offended if it overheard you comparing its seductive charm to that nightmarish “special sauce”.

[-]

bomber991@reddit

Whattayahave!?!

A pile of shit on a hot dog apparently.

Olneyville NY System wieners?

Shout out from a duder who worked at the one in Smith Hill in Providence!

[-]

HomerStillSippen@reddit

Wein O Rama all the way!!

[-]

-keasbey@reddit

Two hot weiners all the way

[-]

nashbrownies@reddit

I miss those so bad. I used to work at a place in Providence and 3 all the way with a large coffeemilk hit the fucking spot.

[-]

radiosilence0504@reddit

That’s what this looks like to me too

[-]

potliquorz@reddit

Me too. 2 hot weiners all the way.

[-]

nashbrownies@reddit

Ahhh is that a weiner all the way? Rhode Island style?

Minced onions, mustard, and a meat sauce which is basically just 60% lard with meat specks in it?

Maybe with a large coffeemilk to wash it down??

We used to make this style at NY System in Providence. Which funnily enough, the NY doesn't mean the weiners, it means the service style, hence NY System.

Tommys?

[-]

whoareyouiameternal@reddit (OP)

nope! side note tho, where is Tommy's? NJ? i googled to compare and the place that popped up actually looks more palatable tbh

[-]

sakofeye@reddit

Tommy’s is LA. But that looks like Varsity to me

[-]

Santa_Hates_You@reddit

We have Tommy's in Vegas too.

[-]

Ishaboo@reddit

Based on people thinking this was Tommy's ty for letting me know to avoid that in Vegas.

[-]

telehealthdialtone@reddit

They scrape it off the sidewalks of Hollywood blvd, Vegas might be a different story so don’t rule it out yet

[-]

the_dayman@reddit

Ha I also thought varsity.

[-]

nuskit@reddit

My first guess, too. Looks just like it. Delicious, bit definitely a toilet buster!

[-]

3PoundsOfFlax@reddit

No one can make me hate Tommy's. I miss LA.

ColoradoCattleCo@reddit

I’m a food snob, but wife’s extended family is in Ft. Wayne, Indiana (hellhole for good food). The only decent place in town is a 100 year old hole-in-the-wall that does Coney Dogs. They’re AMAZING! I usually get 4 and do them extra wet(chili sauce) and extra onion. They also have an incredibly good homemade maple pie (something I had never heard of).

[-]

whoareyouiameternal@reddit (OP)

a maple pie sounds fucking awesome. my local place (its called capitol lunch) is also close to a hundred years old!! founded in 1929 i believe. i would love to try a good chilli dog that isnt the weird chili that they serve here-- its good, but its also really uncanny.
