#99: The Legend of The Coney Dog
b'
It\'s often hard to pinpoint the origins of common foods around us, but perhaps the strongest case for the chili cheese dog comes from American Coney Island.
\\nThis week, Chris Sotiropoulos, co-owner of American Coney Island, tells the story of how his grandfather started pouring his Greek-style chili on hot dogs, and started a chili dog wave from small food cart in the heart of Detroit.
\\nThey\'ve been serving up the classic Coney Island-style dogs for over 100 years, and Chris explains the secret to that longevity, the obstacles of being open 24/7, 365 days a year, and the company\'s big move to Downtown Las Vegas, where their famous chili is now being poured for west coasters.
