Detroit is littered with coney dog joints, but the real conossieurs know to head downtown to Lafayette Coney Island. The narrow hole-in-the-wall has lightening-fast service and so-good-you-know-they're-bad coney dogs, with plenty of chili and plenty of pork; the chili cheese fries come with liberal amounts of real shredded cheese. The waitstaff, bedecked in white aprons and triangle hats, wave you in from the street and shout your order to the kitchen. You'll leave with a full belly and a reminder of what makes Detroit unique. So swing by on your lunch break or after a late night out and for less than $5, order a coney, fries and a Coke and see what the low-carb fanatics are missing.
