Did you know in upstate NY, they are called Michigans???

Both good places- Downtown has some pretty decent eateries.

But you've never had a Coney until you had one from the place it was invented...Not coney island either- Jackson Michigan.

A Jackson coney is not a "chilidog" and its the best Coney you can get anywhere imho.

I would (and have) driven hours before for one of these babies.

http://www.virginiaconey.com/  - This tiny little dive of a place has real coneys.

I would go to the American for a Chilidog but if I want a Coney I go to where they were invented.

Dammit.

"The first episode will feature the history behind the Coney Island Hot Dog, which the show confirms was created in Jackson in 1914. Richard Todoroff and Tommy Boadgieff, relatives of the Coney inventor George Todoroff, will be interviewed along with Eli Potter, owner of Virginia Coney Island."

All righty, now.  Hot dogs.  An icon you can count on.

Well, there you have it.  A legendary broadcaster who PIONEERED a genre of talk radio, inspired and enlightened millions, devolves his career and undermines everything he's built  by getting caught up in petty social media fights, and acting like a deva-drama queen.

What a jack-ass.

Art frequently uses the line "for reasons I won't go into", which translates, you're correct, I don't have a leg to stand on.

I've never had it but always been curious. Don't our French-types in the Great White North put cheese curds and gravy on french fries?

Re: fries. When in Rome, not literally but in Netherlands or Belgium, I used mayo, though the curry-ketchup is pretty tasty also. At first I didn't really like but it grows on you. They also call a raw ground beef sandwich Filet Americaine or something. Ha. And that is good also, like steak tartar, but you can take it away or eat while driving.

Indeed they do. It's called poutine and it's a favorite in Quebec City. I had it at the old Colisee while attending a Quebec Remparts hockey game.

I've never tried poutine. It just looks so...artery clogging

In Chicago, when you order a real hotdog (Vienna all beef hotdog) traditional shops wrap it up in paper, then toss a handful of fries on top and finish wrapping. The fries are dusted with celery salt.

Chicago Hotdogs are a waste of time for me though. Most places that serve those also serve Italian Beef and Italian Combo sandwiches (beef and Italian sausage). If you are ever in Chicago, you have to try one, and ask for it dipped in the juice with sweet peppers and giardinia (spicy pickled vegetables).

I recommend this chain.  http://www.portillos.com

I had my first sandwich from them when all the guy had was this little trailer:

But several neighborhoods have small mom and pop places that are at least as good.

It sounds strangely intriguing especially after several stronger Canadian beers though, as the Dr.MDMD below mentioned, a heart-attack in the waiting.

Hey Element, good looking avatar man! 😉

Thanks man!

Ha!  This is great.  We've turned the Art Bell thread into The Hot Dog, Fries, and Poutine Channel.  What about cheesesteaks?

[Value Of Pi]

I always put Ketchup on a Hot Dog.
On a Corn Dog, too. 
Always.

Italian beefs trounce cheesesteaks. Just ask Campsie or Barfly.

[SixWeekTenure(tm)]

Pete's right. Why dump on him for asking questions that everyone else asked when the drone videos surfaced? Sounds like Art is still bitter over how the affiliates bottomed out when muh Heather took over - as if anything could have been done to prevent it. Also, hot dogs.

IDK, cant get a good cheesesteak in Michigan to save my life.

I've never had a cheesesteak with Cheese Whiz.  I just don't care for Whiz.  It tastes like plastic to me.  Give me real cheese.  Discuss.

For the most part I agree with you. Though I've never tried a cheesesteak of any kind. However, when making grilled cheese I have to use Kraft processed slices for some reason. Programming from my childhood I suspect.

It is worth watching again. And should be shown in schools, as I mentioned before I see a troubling trend displayed in our youth of putting ketchup on hot dogs. I will blame Reagan and evil Republicans for making "ketchup" a vegetable and Lurch (née Heinz-Kerry) for profiting off the diabolical scheme to put ketchup on hot dogs and also mainstreaming the spelling of said table sauce from catsup.

Try using the white American cheese and sprinkle a touch of oregano on it.

but, aside from the sugar, ketchup is good for you. There's a higher concentration of lycopene (an antioxidant) in ketchup than there is in tomatoes. I'll blame the Reagan Republicans for setting us on this shitty global economy path (How's that working out for everyone who's not rich?) but ketchup?! Even the Sith have some accurate intuitions sometimes

Interesting. You mean white processed cheese slices or trying to thinly slice a block of cheese? I never enjoy that as much because it just doesn't get melty enough for me.

Oh, yeah.  I can go either way with a grilled cheese.  Either Kraft slices or sharp cheddar.  One of my "guilty delights" is a grilled cheese at, of all places, Waffle House.  Make it two, with pickles on the side.  Got to have pickles.  Hashbrowns with onions are nice, too.  Oh, and some coffee.

You should try a French Toast grilled cheese sandwich.

Those are awesome. I make those once in a while, they're epic.

I tried one of those McGriddle sandwiches once and it wasn't for me. This idea strikes me as similar.

Those hashbrowns do look good! I like when they fry them a little longer. There's almost nothing worse than soggy greasy hashbrowns. Well, Hitler, maybe.

At least Art seems happy. Good for him.

i hope he ordered the large fries!!!!

I enjoy explaining Cheese Whiz and Velveeta to pretentious European-types. Make them queso and then explain the details that it is not cheese but a "Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product."

They should be nicely browned and crispy.
