THE BEST DOGS ANYWHERE. Been going there since I was 5 with my Dad. I am now 77 and still get my chili cheese with onions. And told my kids to pack a couple in my casket.
Wow awesome I grew up in Southbridge and got my first coney dog here with my Dad, when I got my first car every chance I got to go to Worcester I'd stop here. I live in Puerto Rico now and seeing this brought me back...
I eat hot dogs all over Been to Pinks, and Hillbilly Dogs in WV, several in Chicago. The best I ever had was in Mount Pleasant Michigan at Dog Central restaurant. They've been on the Food Network. They grill their dogs. They get their natural casing dogs from Dearborn Meats (Detroit) and patterned their proprietary dogs after the Dearborn Meats "1927" dog, the dog that was sold at the old Tiger Stadium for eons. Mt Pleasant is the home of Central Michigan University, hence the name Dog Central. However, the owner, Paul McFall, decided to have all the regional dogs he could fit on his menu, which is extensive. So he has Detroit Dogs, Chicago dogs, Philli Dogs, Carolina Dogs, Seattle Dogs, and the only Sonoran Dog I have found east of the Mississippi. He also has a veggie dog. They are great dogs. Best seller is the Mac Daddy (macaroni & cheese + applewood smoked bacon) but my two favorites are the Popper Dog (cream cheese, apple smoked bacon, and jalapeños) and the Goober Dog (DC's proprietary chili, crushed dill pickles, crushed fritos and get this, peanut butter)...it's delicious.
Happy 100th George’s Coney Island !!! I’ll be there someday - IT IS wonderful to keep traditions and history alive. ... from a guy who was ‘weened’ on Nathan’s at Coney Island, NYC.
We had "Harold's Coney Island" in Rock Island Illinois since the 1900's; the granddaughter ended up running the business then it finally colosed it's doors. It was like this place. First place all of my out of town family, and others headed for was Harold's as soons as the plane, train, or car hit RI. OH MY GOLLY what a wonderful joint. The poorest soul on earth could be setting next to the mayor, or a billionaire it didn't matter they both had had one goal and that was one of those wonderful dogs. Harold used to run them up his arm too, and as kids we thought that was so funny! He had only a few items on his menus, and they all were top shelf. Wonderful ham sandwiches. Miss those hot dogs, and that wonderful joint.
I live in northern kentucky near cincinnati and since you are at a greek named chili place i know the chili dogs are good, all chili parlors in the greater cinti., ohio area are greek based chili, and they are all good
If you look up Flint Style Coney recipe you will find a recipe that is very similar, not the same recipe, but they look very similar and I'd like to try these. One little flavor trick that people miss in copycat recipes with coneys is that most places ground up the leftover grilled dogs from the night before and add them to the new chili sauce. So some recipes may call for ground up hotdogs, if not add a little liquid smoke, not much. Here's the recipe I kinda follow. Flint Style Coney Sauce (about 40 - 50 hotdogs worth) This sauce should be made a day head for best flavor. It's a dry Flint style sauce, not a sloppy chili dog, aka Detroit Style. 5lb Hamburger 1 8 pack of hotdogs, ground (optional) 1 1/2 cups finely diced onion 2 28 oz of canned whole peeled Tomatoes or diced 4-5 tablespoons Chili powder 2 tablespoons Cumin 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon Mustard 1 tablespoon Garlic powder 1 1/2 teaspoons Liquid Smoke 1/4 teaspoon Pepper (Optional) Since left over cooked meat isn't wasted in the restaurants, any leftover cooked hotdogs were ground up and added to the coney sauce made for the next day. 1lb of ground up Koegel vienna's can be used to replace 1lb hamburger. This will give that classic Flint Style Coney flavor. Don't have Koegels? Use the ones you like. Natural casings if you can find them. This is not the perfect taste recipe, That requires the cook to know the flavor to be obtained. Sometimes the tomatoes are bland and a little tomato paste is needed. Add, subtract or substitute to fit your own taste buds. Just remember that the full flavor of chili powder and cumin doesn't come out till the next day. Some chili powders have cumin in them and a salty flavor, be careful. That's why other recipes don't add it. You don't want it over powering the sauce, just a hint of flavor. The full flavor of cumin takes a while to come out. In large thick pot, add Hamburger, Onions, Pepper (no Salt), Brown and drain in wire colander for 5 min. to remove as much grease as you can. Pour Tomatoes in blender and blend just enough to eliminate any large chunks, about 10 sec. Pour over Browned Hamburger and add rest of ingredients. Cover and simmer on low heat for an hour, stirring often to prevent any scorching. You don't want all the moisture cooked out. Let cool. A 4 qt pot works great to give a 4 hour low simmer to bring out the flavors and even serve out of for a large event, but the grease will need to be ladle off the top after cooking this way. You don't want to serve a greasy coney. After Sauce has cooled, fill pint containers with sauce. Don't drain off any grease. Refrigerate what is to be used the next day and Freeze the rest. The grease protects the sauce from getting freezer burn. Next day preparation 8 Flint Style Coney Island Dogs. In large fry pan add pint of sauce, 1/2 cup water and 8 Koegel Vienna's. Simmer till dogs are cooked but not split and water is evaporated. Tilt pan to let any grease drain off. Scrape sauce up to the high side, you just want dry sauce on the dogs not grease, but it tastes good too. Steamed buns are best but slightly warmed in the microwave works too. (You don't want a stiff bun that breaks apart.) Add dog, sauce, mustard and diced sweet onion. You can wrap up coneys in wax paper and tinfoil to blend the flavors like an order to go. Let coneys rest for a few minutes. Then unwrap and bite into some Michigan greatness. Put any leftovers in the fridge. I like a cold one for breakfast the next morning and remember my childhood when Ma and Dad brought home Coney's.
Hi I have a question : Does anyone of you what this purely for a sausage places in Iceland Corney hot dog comes ?? Or in chilli ?? is a special mustard and onions used ??
Great food again, don't frown on the wood etchings, gives the place character, says it is not a chain restaurant, I like the etchings & read them, no vulgarity though please
"there's nothing like it anywhere else"......Umm, yeah there is. Many places in the NorthEast, Chicago, Texas, Cali, etc. make a version of this sauce with all having just a minor flavor difference. Growing up in Rhode Island, I have the taste for the New York System version of these dogs. But I do also like the Coney style and others.
Oh now you going to talk about the anchor bar? What's up son where you at ? 😠 Just kidding I haven't lived in worc in years not sure what anchor bar is. But when I do visit I go to Coney island in worc. Home of the original Coney dog named after Goddard Coney in 1908.
well wait a second. You need banana peppers, the real coney sauce these are typically smaller hotdogs , but you need at least 3 of them a no-bean chile sauce onions - oh yea !!
As a Detroiter born and raised I say 'broaden your world'. I love Detroit Coneys (Lafayette!) but I always try what other cities have to offer. This one has been around since the 20's. Can't deny their history. I'd love to try one.
I live in ky. Across the river from cincinnati, and their chili, detroits, and coney island are all greek based chili. They are all good and you would kind of saying, they are all very similar in taste.
@@jetsamperes5762 (: Yes ... True ... ☺ (: Everyone could spend days on discussing that, but the bottom line is that "most of the places are great" ... ☺ (: It doesn't matter where ... It's just good that they are all over for people to enjoy!!!!! ... ☺ And everyone will have a favorite place ... ☺ Also, they all must vary in some way!!!!! ... ☺ It's just pointless to keep saying "the best is here, or there" because everyone will have their own choice!!!!! ... ☺ (: I hope that didn't sound confusing!!!!! ... ☺
Sorry but a true coney has to come from Detroit. The chili sauce is totally different. And in Detroit you never order a coney with chili and onion, you just order a coney. And if you are ordering for you and your mate, you just say "4 on 2" or "5 on 3", and that's it. Lafayette Coney Island is the mecca, with American Coney island coming in a very close second.
THE BEST DOGS ANYWHERE. Been going there since I was 5 with my Dad. I am now 77 and still get my chili cheese with onions. And told my kids to pack a couple in my casket.
What a story Kathleen
Yes Im also 81 and been going there since was 9
My dad is 70 and he used to go with his dad when he was a kid. Now I take my kids!!
Would be an honor to dump 6 gallons of chili 40 onions and a bunch of mustard and pickles on a corpse
@@oldironsides4107 lol wtf man
I'm from chihuahua MX, and I was in that place in the 2000 year, I will never forget that flavor, the best hot dogs I've ever tasted in my life 😋
Wow awesome I grew up in Southbridge and got my first coney dog here with my Dad, when I got my first car every chance I got to go to Worcester I'd stop here. I live in Puerto Rico now and seeing this brought me back...

There's really few things that compare to three hot coney dogs for lunch. Especially on a cold day in Detroit. Keep 'em comin'!
Tom Brown truth. Duly’s is top gun

As a kid I ate there in the 1950's

5lb Hamburger
1 8 pack of hotdogs, ground (optional)

Mr Rytte any way you could get me the copycat recipe for the chili dog sauce at Lafayette in Detroit!?
I'm drooling
Chili, mustard and onion, the combo of the gods! Four over here.
Hi I have a question : Does anyone of you what this purely for a sausage places in Iceland Corney hot dog comes ?? Or in chilli ?? is a special mustard and onions used ??
secret recipe
HA! I first thought it read - George Clooney!
I'm from Danvers Mass.
I like the video but it's a little silly to say that no one knows what's in the chili because I know.
Please tell! I've tried to make it for years to no avail. Lol
bourbon in the chilli sauce
Damn I am hungry now.
I wish we had places like this in the UK.
Probably not because, Brits sell canned hot dogs.
When I go to george,s coney island I get with my hot dogs is Wachusett potato chips and a bottle of snapple
00:30 yikes that end dog is chillin right on all ur arm hair lmao
How is this place doing during this covid-19 pandemic🤔🤔🤔????
(: I was thinking the same thing!!!!! ... ☺
Lets call Gordon Ramsey about this
grew up eating there
Coney island hotdogs the best
I know what's in the chilie sauce but it's a secret
Are they beef hotdogs?
Anybody here after watching captain America.. And for Bucky's luv for hotdogs
Anyone know the price????

Boiled hotdogs are sacriligious! Fried or broiled, preferably fried.
Detroit Michigan has the best Coney island restaurants..
Skyline chili in Cincinnati is the best chili ever
I'll bet you if I run up in there with a couple of goons I'll get that secret recipe. Ain't originally of it isn't made in newyork
Americans don’t boil there hotdogs gunna have to try grilling them
(: You can get them steamed though ... ☺
(: For certain dishes, they are boiled!!!!! ... ☺
@@maryalove5534 oh ok cool
Get serious go to Detroit and witness some actual coney joints.
Shut up. I like buffalo wings to but it does not mean I have to go to Buffalo New York to eat some.
Ya and the anchor bar doesn’t have the best wings ..
Oh now you going to talk about the anchor bar? What's up son where you at ? 😠 Just kidding I haven't lived in worc in years not sure what anchor bar is. But when I do visit I go to Coney island in worc. Home of the original Coney dog named after Goddard Coney in 1908.
I live near Detroit but I’ve been west NY for a few years before then. I’m guessing it’s a solid joint good eats I was just bustin apple bags.
@Ricky Roma well they were originally made from buffalo but as buffalo meat became scarce they switched to the more abundant chicken meat.
I like the mustard , not the secret dog food chilli
well wait a second. You need banana peppers, the real coney sauce these are typically smaller hotdogs , but you need at least 3 of them a no-bean chile sauce onions - oh yea !!
No better coney island is better then a Detroit Coney!
