  • If you don't like it, we'll have to kill you. That's how authentically "Detroit" this place is. If you're from - or spent any time in - Southeast Michigan, you realize that while the auto biz is slowing down, "Coney Island" restaurants are going strong. A Detroit "Coney Island" is a truly unique 'dog: First, you start with a true frankfurter grilled on a griddle,, made with a real skin. This gives the dog a nice gentle snap and makes sure it's hot. Then you put it in a gently steamed bun, and coat it with a very local style of chili (it comes in huge cans, made in Detroit!) with meat, but no beans. Then on top go chopped onions and two long squirts of yellow mustard. True aficionados add dried red peppers and a dash of salt. This is merely the beginning: You then add either a Miller Draft (in a glass), or, to be perfect, a Vernor's Ginger Ale ("Aged in Wood"!) with ice. The hundreds of "Coney Island" joints all over southern Michigan attest: This is comfort food for the Motor City crowd, but anyone who tries it loves it, too. Want to see eyes light up on a Detroiter: Just say, "Lafayette Coney Island." That's the flagship. No, the American next door is NOT just as good. Sorry. The Henderson "Detroit Motor City Coney Island" is an outpost of this delight. It's nearly perfect: It has even more Detroit memorbilia (sports, espeically) than the Lafayette, and while it doesn't have the cast of federal judges, cops, homeless, senior executives and the occasional hooker that the Lafayette has. But has the same kind of tables, tackiness, and, even better, the thousands of crayon grafitti on the walls that grateful customers have scribbled. It has chili fries (they are different, trust me. These have no pretense of being healthy. They are that good) and it has Sanders Hot Fudge Sundaes (the ultimate). No Millers, but YES! Vernors! And downtown Henderson does a reasonable imitation of some of Detroit in better days, including the small casino and some empty storefronts. And a biker bar next door. You want authentic? You wanna make something outta that? It gets better: The taste? Ahhh! The meat, the chili, the onions, the mustard. Al Kaline. Detroit Lions. Hockey Town. Bob-Lo. All of it, except the sounds of bullets whizzing. Almost Detroit. A date meal for ten bucks. Both of you. Yeah, that's Detroit.
