A Coney Island Chili Cheese dog is a hot dog topped with chili, cheese, mustard, and onions. The chili may contain meat and beans, that’s up to you and whether you’re from the school of thought that chili has beans, or does not.
While you may be familiar with the popular New York Amusement Park, Coney Island, it’s a misconception that the Coney Island Chili Cheese dog originated here. Sure Nathan’s made the basic frank in a bun a popular must-try food, but there is debate as to the origins of the Coney Island Chili Cheese Dog.
A Coney Island pie-wagon vendor, Charles Feltman, who is credited with inventing the hot dog as fast food and selling 3,684 hot dachshund sausages in milk rolls in 1871 may be the origin.
Some also credit immigrating Greeks who came to America through Ellis Island and settled in Michigan, “Many of them passed through New York’s Ellis Island and heard about or visited Coney Island, later borrowing this name for their hot dogs, according to one legend,” wrote Katherine Yung and Joe Grimm in their 2012 book Coney Detroit.
