Coney Island Chili Dog Recipes from State to State
An American Classic!
The hot dog has been a favorite in the United States for over a century. At the turn of the century "chili queens" vended chili from carts in San Antonio while hot dogs were being vended from carts at Coney Island. It was just a matter of time before east met west and the all American chili dog or chili cheese dog was born. While chili dogs are popular across the nation, each region lays claim to different ingredients and toppings for their chili dogs. A chili dog from New York will be different from one in Arizona. Find regional recipes for this all time favorite; the chili cheese dog!

This is the traditional way to serve a Coney Island hot dog but I have seen them with cheese. With cheese it is called a "loaded" dog. Top yours with shredded cheddar if you would like to try a Coney island dog "loaded" with cheese.
