Arguing over who invented the Coney dog is a Midwest pastime – and one of the biggest Coney dog rivalries is between Detroit stalwarts American Coney Island and Lafayette Coney Island. That said, the oldest Coney dog spot in the state is actually Kalamazoo's Coney Island Hot Dogs, which has been in operation since 1915. Besides the namesake dogs, which are served topped with chili, mustard, and onions, Kalamazoo's also offers Chicago and New York–style dogs, burgers, and gyros.
