Here you can find the best Chicago-style hot dog in Michigan

One of the most popular foods in America that truly embodies what it means to be American is the hot dog. Here in Michigan, the Coney Dog is known as Michigan’s hot dog. There’s something very special about the beanless chili sauce, mustard, onions, and, most personally, shredded cheese that makes the hot dog iconic in our state.

But one of the most controversial topics among hot dog lovers is which state has the best hot dog. There are so many different hot dogs that it’s best to associate them with different states, but one has always stood out above all the rest, and that’s the Chicago-style dog. A typical Chicago-style dog is served on a poppy seed bun and usually includes yellow mustard, chopped white onion, green sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle slice, tomato slices or wedges, pickled peppers, and celery salt.

So where can I get the best Chicago-style dog in Michigan?

I don’t think anything will ever top or even come close to a great Chicago-style Short’s Root Beer stand in Coldwater.

There are many unique restaurants in Southwest Michigan, but Short’s Root Beer Stand not only offers the perfect Chicago-style dog, but also takes you back to the ’50s with its classic diner interior.

Don’t get me wrong, this place makes fantastic Coney Dogs and Coney Fries, but if you really want one of the best Chicago-style hot dogs around, check out this place and others in the area that sell them and decide for yourself.
