@ffg I don't know how widespread the small ones are, but in my mind they may as well have called those Tulsa Coneys, 'cause they're exactly what I grew up with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
@ufez fascinating. Detroit coneys are longer, natural casing, with onions. The "Michigan" dog listed on the chart is close, except for the inexplicable lack of onions.
@ffg @ufez I've only ever seen the Michigan dog in Montreal, where there is a local hot dog chain called (iirc) Michigan Hot-Dogs.
Also, I call bullshit on the Japanese dog, because everybody knows Japadog in Vancouver is so amazing that it is simultaneously Vancouverite and Japanese.
Michigan Hot Dogs were a transplant from a Michigan couple that moved to Plattsburgh NY. Also, without Icelandic Hot Dogs, this list might as well not exist.
Where's "The Bachelor?" Cook a hotdog in a dirty microwave, place in a stale bun, and adorn with too much ketchup and mustard that's at least four months expired. Eat in front of computer or television. Repeat at least four times. Cry on pillow.
Out of the old west comes this recipe, from a stubby gunfighter named Bat Masterson, who was a close friend of Wyatt Earp during the heyday of Dodge City, KS. Later on, he moved to New York City and became, of all things, a sports writer. This recipe was one he invented that became popular all over cowboy towns of the western expansion.
Prairie Dog
Take a wiener and split it lengthwise. Rub the insides of the wiener with ground sage, and broil until done. On one side of a bun, spread mustard and cover with thinly sliced dill pickle. On the other, sprinkle with Worcestershire. "It makes the usual catsup and mustard wiener sandwich taste very poor in comparison"
@Kevin On principle I agree with you but today I had a beer-battered deep-fried hot dog with chili con carne and diced green onions, and I'm not sure whether the crust on the dog counts as a topping, and whether the chili counts as one topping or 6 (since it had beans).
Also, it's missing Washington DC's half smoke.
