While not strictly speaking a Detroit Coney, please see a shot of today’s lunch:
Two uncured Sabretts all beef smothered in chili and surrounded by tortilla chips topped with melty cheddar, onions and fresh chilis.

Honestly, that looks delectable! 
Michigan is taking in, amongst all the states, the most Syrian refugees this year. So maybe there will be a sizeable community there in the future. ( I think its mostly Detroit)

Well this has been posted elsewhere, but yet again I’m reminded of an apocryphal story from the early 80’s Detroit.
At that time the best middle eastern restaurant in Detroit was run by a Lebanese acquaintance.
One day the Syrian counsel called him up to order a banquet with a whole lamb prepared in the Syrian manner. The counsel was very insistent on this point, and made sure my friend repeated his order precisely as regarded the Syrian lamb.
The evening of the big event arrived and commenced with belly dancing and numerous courses of mezes and plenty of raki.
Finally the big moment arrived and the lamb in all its greasy glory surrounded by safron pilaf and dates arrived on a huge platter that was placed in front of the counsel.
The counsel lifted the brain case to offer this choicest of morsels to his guest of honor, only to find the case was empty.
He called for my friend and inquired what in hades was going on.
To which my Lebanese friend replied, “Well you were very specific that you wanted the lamb prepared in the Syrian manner…”

Interesting article about the Coneys:
According to the article, American is selling more Coney’s in Vegas than Detroit.
They also are shipping Coney kits, but would you order something like that?
