The Best Comfort Food In Michigan Is Served Two Ways

We eat when we are happy, sad, or not even hungry. Facts.

Food is a total comfort in any situation; hence the term comfort food. Love Food, a popular food website recently posted a list of the best comfort food in every state, and Michigan did not disappoint.

At first, I thought the pick for Michgian would be a pasty, but I was wrong. How about Detroit-style pizza? Nope, not it.

What is Michigan's best comfort food?

Drumroll please, Michigan's best comfort food is a coney dog.

This is what Love Food had to say about this Michigan staple,

If there's one comfort food dish that's synonymous with Michigan – specifically with Detroit – it's the Coney dog. There's a fierce rivalry between Lafayette Coney Island and American Coney Island, neighboring vendors that were originally owned by feuding brothers. Most Detroiters swear by one or the other, but both spots' offerings feature a beef frankfurter encased in a steamed bun, topped with meat chili, onions, and mustard.

Let's not forget about Flint-style coney's versus Detroit-style coney dogs. If you have to ask what the difference is, you did not grow up in Michgian.

A Flint-style coney dog features dry or loose meat with mustard and onions, while a Detroit-style coney dog is topped with chili, mustard, and onions.

I am a fan of the Flint-style coney dog. Which do you prefer?

Here's to eating comfort food coney dogs, with a side of fries all winter. Okay, spring, summer, and fall too.
