Flints Original Coney Island Sauce Recipes

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!

This sauce is one of many recipes claiming originallity from the various "original Flint Coney Island Dog" restaurants throughout the Flint area. The basic difference between this and the New York "Coney Island Sauce" is that the Flint version is a much drier version than the wet New York style. This recipe's history was that it was obtained ingredient by ingredient from a freind of my wife's grandmother who worked at one of the "original" Coney Island restaurants... as with many of these types of foods... this recipe is a "SECRET."

This is great on grilled hot dogs. The original recipe hails from Coney Island, NY where hot dogs by the beach are served with a similar sauce topping.
