The Best American Restaurant Rivalries of All Time

Detroit Coney Dogs: American Coney Island vs. Lafayette Coney Island
Sometimes, American innovations move from city to city, improving along the way. The Detroit Coney Dog is a prime example.
Originally, Coney Dogs came from the midway on Coney Island, but they soon spread across the country, and Detroit was one place that truly perfected this indulgent treat. Made by adding chili sauce, raw onions, and mustard to a classic boiled hot dog, the two restaurants that have put their own spin on this dish are American Coney Island and Lafayette Coney Island, which are each owned by one of the Keros brothers.
Even though they’re related, their chili recipes are different, so you’ll have to try both to determine which is your favorite.
