Nominate the Best Coney Places in Troy

Let us know the best coney places in Troy so we can put it to a vote and find out which is the Readers’ Choice 2012 winner!

Where can you find the best coney dog in Troy? Patch is relaunching its Readers’ Choice program and we’re asking you, your friends, family, neighbors, coworkers and anyone else who knows about Troy to nominate the best spots in the city. We’ll keep accepting nominations through July 9. After that, nominations will be closed and we’ll start the voting, so make sure to get in your favorites now. All you need to do to nominate a business is to add it in the comments below. If you already see the business you want to nominate, make sure to add your comment about why it should be included (we may not be able to add all businesses to our poll, and we want to make sure the top ones make it into the poll). Thanks in advance for your participation…

Patch Coney Fest: Get on the Coney Bus Tour!

This spring and summer, Patch is going all out coney. In addition to stories and contests, we'll be featuring great events around Metro Detroit, including a bus tour May 12 of some of the area's best coney island restaurants.

Michigan — especially Metro Detroit — loves its coney island hot dogs. We're as passionate about the secret sauces and recipes as the people and places that serve them. Join Patch this spring and summer as we celebrate our region's signature dish with events, contests, stories and cool things to do, like this bus tour of Metro Detroit's finest coney offerings. You can join authors of the new book Coney Detroit—Joe Grimm of Bloomfield Township and Katherine Yung of Brighton—on a bus tour of Metro Detroit for a tasting of their favorite coney island hot dogs. The tour will visit some coney local treasures on May 12–including a stop at Dearborn restaurant Joe's Top Dog Coney Island–home of the Jim Padilla Special, named for the former Ford …

Imported from Detroit: A Coney Island Opens in Hollywood

Our beloved Coney dogs are getting the Hollywood treatment with a new restaurant on the Sunset Strip. Can California really do Coneys right?

A line began to form outside Coney Dog at noon Monday in West Hollywood, the local Patch reported. It was the first official day of business for the Sunset Strip's new Detroit-themed restaurant. "These are hot dogs straight from Detroit. The chili is also from Detroit," Nick Vlassopoulos said from behind the counter, pointing to a natural casing hot dog made from beef, topped with an all-meat beanless chili and diced onions. "After two or three of these, you'll still feel great — maybe one burp." Read more about the restaurant, which includes – in perfect California fashion – a vegetarian Coney, here. What do you think about that, Metro Detroit? We're not sure that would fly at Lafayette or American.
