I was born in Detroit, and I don't remember the neighborhood where we lived in a two-story flat with my uncle's family living downstairs. I must have been very young when we moved to the far northwest part of Detroit, between 7 and 8 mile Road and between Meyer Road and Schaefer Highway. We were one of two Catholic families in a Jewish neighborhood, and my mom would walk with us to 7 mile road to shop for groceries. The stores were mostly Jewish, so we got kosher frankfurters to sample at the butcher shop while Mom was shopping, and of course we got bagels. This is my first memory of the delight of the hot dog - even though the frankfurters were cold when the butcher gave them to us because we were cute kids, they were so good that I remember them more than 65 years later. And then I moved to Wisconsin when I was 9 and had bratwurst, which was another trip to heaven.
I kept going back to Detroit to visit relatives, and I think it wasn't until about 1995 thaT I learned that Coney Island Hot Dogs were a "thing" in Detroit - so of course I had to try them, and I have to have them every time I go to Detroit now. And then I married into a Rhode Island family in 2002, and I discovered "hot wieners" (New York System Hot Wieners) the first time I visited my new in-laws in Rhode Island. I couldn't believe how good they were. They're on a steamed bun, with onions and celery salt and a meat sauce that isn't quite chile. And they're cheap, and amazingly delicious.
I've been to Coney Island, but I couldn't find place to park so I didn't get out of the car and was not able to sample a Coney Island Red Hot. But I know for a fact that hot dogs in Detroit and Rhode Island are terrific.
Now, don't to to Wisconsin for hot dogs (although the ones at Usinger's in Milwaukee are darn good). But if you're in Wisconsin, eat the bratwurst and don't waste your time on the hot dogs. But if you're in Rhode Island or Detroit, eat hot dogs. And when you get tired of hot dogs, I can lead you to some great Polish restaurants in Detroit (Hamtramck) and in Rhode Island.
