Origin
[edit]There is no consensus on the origin of the Michigan,[2][3]which according to some sources is not capitalized.[2][4]Eula and Garth Otis, who opened the first Michigan stand in Plattsburgh, New York, in 1927, were originally from Michigan.[2][5]
According toPress-Republicancolumnist Gordie Little, a newspaper advertisement for the Otis's Michigans appeared in 1927.[3]Little calls the Michigan "a cultural institution."[6]
According toSerious Eats,the sauce recipe may have originated in Michigan, but "bears little resemblance toDetroit Coneysauce, with nooffaland barely any Greek flavor, although the texture is similar toFlint sauce."[7]
Ingredients
[edit]The sauces are varied; some can be tomato-based and may contain vinegar, brown sugar, and a blend of spices. Others contain no tomato and are solely seasoning-based.[7]It uses hamburger and contains no large chunks of meat.[4][3]In addition to the sauce, the hot dog may be topped with onions and yellow mustard.[7]UnlikeCincinnati-styleconeys, no cheese is used as a hot dog topping.[7]In many instances, customers can order their dogs with onions under the meat; the term for this is ordering the dog "buried".[8]
