Chili dogs are one of America’s favorite summertime foods. Each year on the last Thursday of July, hot dog lovers across the United States top their hot dogs with delicious chili to celebrate National Chili Dog Day. Also known as a Coney Dog or a Coney Island Dog, this specialty is a beef hotdog, topped with an all meat, beanless chili, diced white onions, and yellow mustard. Despite the name, Coney dogs did not originate in Coney Island, NY. Instead, this popular food got its start in Michigan, although the exact location is still disputed.
