For an authentic Detroit experience, use Koegel's or Dearborn hot dogs if you can find them. Steaming the hot dog buns is crucial for achieving the perfect Coney Dog texture. Adjust the amount of mustard and onions to your personal preference. For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of chili flakes to the chili sauce.
