Dogs about town

Here are just a few home-grown hot-dog establishments in the River Region.

Chris’ Hot Dogs, at 138 Dexter Ave. in downtown Montgomery (265-6850, www.chrishotdogs.com). Chris’, opened in 1917, is an institution, and some folks won’t eat hot dogs anywhere else. The standard Chris’ dog has mustard, onions, kraut, and Chris’ Famous Chili Sauce, which you can also order the sauce alone by the pint, quart and gallon. Chris’ history can be found on its website.

Joe Mama’s American Grill, at 63 Wisteria Place in Millbrook (285-1881, joemamasamericangrill.com) This funky joint boasts five hot dog offerings — Diablo Dog (Polish sausage, mayo, ketchup, jalapenos and hot rooster sauce); Southern Dog (chili, slaw, onions and mustard), Western Dog (chili, jalapenos, mustard cheese and onions); Joe’s Dog (Joe’s “special sauce,” sauerkraut and onions) and Northern Dog (Polish sausage, grilled peppers, onions, spicy brown mustard).

All City Coney Island Eatery, 701 Madison Ave. (corner of Union and Madison) downtown (819-4100, www.allcityconeyisland.com). This dog spot opened in October 2010. Owner Daileen Carter hails from Detroit, where the Coney Dog (named for the New York birthplace of the hot dog) reigns supreme. Still, “We fix them however the customers want them,” Carter said.

Montgomery Biscuits concessions (www.biscuitsbaseball.com). What’s baseball without hot dogs? At the Railyard (sections 114-116), try the Jumbo Hot Dog, Kids’ Hot Dog, Chili Cheese Dog or the Johnsonville Bratwurst. The Sausage Shack (sections 109 and 112) offers up footlong hot dogs and bratwurst as well as Red Hot Sausage and Polish Sausage.

The "Coney Island" Detroit dogs that are a favorite at All City Coney Island Eatery in downtown Montgomery are a lot like their namesake. (Hot dog lore has it that in the late 19th century, a German immi­grant began serving up sau­sages on rolls at that famous beach resort, launching a fast food legend). Coney franks are 100 percent beef, served in their natural casing, and their primary add-ons are mustard, ground beef, beanless chili and yellow onions, said All City owner Daileen Carter. The bun is usually steamed. But that's just one of dozens of varieties of hot dogs that re­gions throughout the nation have adapted to fit their tastes. Ball Park Franks (www.bal­lpark-
franks.com) offers a virtual tour guide of hot dog prefer­ences across the U.S.

Imported from Detroit: A Coney Island Opens in Hollywood ...

A line began to form outside Coney Dog at noon Monday in West Hollywood, the local Patch reported . It was the first official day of business for the Sunset Strip's new Detroit-themed restaurant.

"These are hot dogs straight from Detroit. The chili is also from Detroit," Nick Vlassopoulos said from behind the counter, pointing to a natural casing hot dog made from beef, topped with an all-meat beanless chili and diced onions. "After two or three of these, you'll still feel great — maybe one burp."

Stacy, great call about white & blue collars eating together. A few years ago I was at Lafayette on a typical workday lunch and while I'm eating a stretch Mercedes with tinted windows pulls up next to the restaurant. Mike & Marian Illich step out of the car and into Lafayette to enjoy lunch, on their own, no entourage, special service or anything. I thought that was pretty cool.
