FLINT'S ORIGINAL CONEY ISLAND
I've lived in Flint, Michigan my entire life, and I was brought up on Coneys. The recipe has always been kept "top secret", and every restaurant has a slightly different version. But my friend's grandmother opened and ran one of Flint's top Coney Island restaurants for many years, and she gave me this recipe. The original recipe calls for beef kidney, heart and suet. But guess what? That's what hot dogs are made from! That's why ground hot dogs are a good substitution. I've tried and tasted many copycat recipes for Coney sauce, but I'm convinced that this one is the best. Coneys are traditionally served using a steamed hot dog bun, a koegel vienna hot dog (any vienna hotdog will do) then topped with the sauce, yellow mustard and finely chopped onions. Yum! The friend also noted that if it tastes like something is missing.. add more cumin. By the way, Koegel Viennas are now available to order online!

Steps:
- Mix all ingredients in a heavy pan and cook over med to low heat until mixture cooks and becomes dry and crumbly.
- If it seems too wet or greasy, add a few crumbled saltine crackers.
- Best if made a day ahead and reheated in a frying pan.
- Freezes well.
- Note: I grind my hot dogs up in a blender with a little water.

CONEY ISLAND HOT DOGS
The story of how the Coney Island hog dog got to the Midwest is pretty straightforward, but no one really knows exactly how the wiener first came to be topped with what is basically a hot meat relish. I have no idea how authentic this is, and have never been to Detroit, or even Flint. I have had Nathan's® version, which I enjoyed, but the word on the street is that it's not nearly as good as the relatives it spawned.

Steps:
- Combine ground beef, water, 1/2 cup diced onion, ketchup, butter, garlic, chili powder, salt, black pepper, cumin, celery salt, and cayenne pepper together in a pot. Mix with a potato masher or spatula over medium-high heat until mixture has a finely ground consistency and begins to bubble, about 10 minutes.
- Bring beef mixture to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens and reduces, about 1 hour. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook hot dogs in boiling water until heated through, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange hot dog buns on a baking sheet.
- Cook buns in the preheated oven until soft and warm, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Place 1 bun on a plate. Place a hot dog in the bun and top with meat sauce. Drizzle yellow mustard and diced onion over the meat sauce. Repeat with remaining hot dogs.

AWESOME CONEY SAUCE
I love a good hotdog, and one covered in Coney sauce is even better. Okay, I know that there are a lot of Coney sauce recipes out there in the wide world; and, although people associate Coney with Coney Island, the original Coney sauce came about in the Detroit area in the early part of the last century. It then spread to the...

Steps:
- 1. Chef's Note: There are two secrets to the traditional sauce: a minimum of ingredients, and the cut of the ground beef. As one vendor I talked to on Coney Island said to me: If you want to add extra onions, mustard, beans, whatever... Go for it, but the sauce is the sauce, pure and simple (a man of few words). In truth, keeping the ingredients to a minimum makes this an ideal sauce for a variety of things: For example, it's an excellent sauce for a chili/cheese burger.
- 2. Start by finely chopping the onions. Chef's Tip: The easiest way to do this is to use the large holes on a box grater. In addition, when you grate an onion, it will release a lot of moisture from the ruptured cell walls, and I usually pick up some of that excess liquid by laying the grated onion on a few sheets of paper towels.
- 3. Have your other ingredients close at hand.
- 4. Add the cold water (or stock) to a skillet, and then add the grated onions, and the ground beef. Chef's Note: This ground sirloin is not your typical grind... it's called a triple grind by your butcher. What I usually do is take regular grind and put it into my food processer for a couple of spins. The result is a very finely ground beef, and that is one of the secrets of this sauce.
- 5. Chef's Historical Note: According to the historical record, the recipe used ground beef heart, which is then ground to a consistency of fine-ground beef... not ground sirloin.
- 6. Simmer the onion and beef over medium-to-medium-high heat until thoroughly cooked, and the onions are soft, about15 minutes.
- 7. Add the remaining ingredients, and slow simmer, uncovered, until it thickens, about 2 to 3 hours. Chef's Tip: I like Maxine's chili powder, but it's hot, so I usually use only 4 tablespoons. Actually, the chili powder will really make this sauce... Chef's Note: If it begins drying out, add a bit of water, or broth.
- 8. Chef's Tip: If you are using beef stock, as opposed to plain water, then you might want to leave out the additional salt.
- 9. Well, that's about it... get yourself a dog or two, and have at it. What are you waiting for...
- 10. One more thing: If you are a purest, and you want the "real" experience, then you need the right hotdog, and that's from the Koegel Meat Company in Flint, Michigan. Keep the faith, and keep cooking...
ORIGINAL CONEY ISLAND CHILI

Steps:
- 1. Brown ground chuck in a skillet. Drain approximately half the residual oil. Add ground pepperoni and grated onion and brown for another minute or two.
- 2. combine in kosher salt, brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, celery seed, cayenne and combine to meat mixture.
- 3. Reduce heat and add tomato paste, liquid smoke and V8 juice and bring to a simmer.
- 4. When chili has come to a low bubbling simmer, add cornmeal and cook low and slow for another 15 minutes.
- 5. Ladle over hotdogs or grilled burgers. This is a welcome sauce for grated sharp cheddar cheese and minced onions, but a true Coney Dog uses classic yellow mustard and a sprinkling of onions. Enjoy!

CONEY ISLAND KNISHES
One of my earliest 'exotic' food experiences was eating potato knishes with my Dad in Coney Island. I mean, mashed potatoes in a warm, flaky pastry? This potato fiend will have two, please. Back then their secret was the copious amounts of chicken fat, aka schmaltz, but here I'll show you how succeed without it. Leftover corned beef really shines in these, but anything goes, as long as the base is mashed potato spiked with onions and fried in lots of fat.

Steps:
- Whisk flour, salt, and baking powder together in a bowl. Make a well in the center. Add egg, vinegar, oil, and warm water. Mix by hand until dough pulls together. Turn dough out onto the counter and knead until soft, smooth, and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain; transfer to a mixing bowl. Mash and set aside.
- Chop corned beef and cabbage into fine pieces.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, kosher salt, corned beef, and cabbage. Cook and stir until onions are soft and golden brown and beef fat is rendered, about 10 minutes.
- Transfer beef mixture into the bowl with the mashed potatoes. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Mix until combined and let cool to room temperature.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with silicone mats.
- Divide dough in half; flatten one half into a rectangle on a floured surface. Roll out into a larger rectangle about 1/8-inch thick, pulling the corners as needed.
- Place 3 cups filling over one long end, about 3 inches away from the edges. Beat egg with water and brush over the opposite end and a little on the sides. Stretch the dough to cover the filling, then roll up toward the egg-washed side. Fold the last 3 or 4 inches on top. Press in the filling; roll over so seam-side is on the bottom.
- Trim off excess dough from the ends if desired. Mark, but do not cut, dough into 8 equal pieces. Flour the side of your hand and press into the marks. Rub back and forth against the counter to separate each piece. Position each piece with one cut end facing down and the other facing up. Squish down the top and tuck everything into the center to form a round knish.
- Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Brush bottoms with olive oil and place on the prepared baking sheets. Brush leftover egg wash on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden-brown, about 40 minutes. Let cool until just warm or room-temperature.

This recipe is quick and easy. Only have to simmer for 30 minutes! It started as a very saucy Coney Island hot dog sauce. I prefer a meatier chili sauce, but if you prefer it saucy with less meat, reduce ground round to 1/2 pound meat.
