Best Grams Flint Coney Island Sauce Recipes
FLINT'S ORIGINAL CONEY ISLAND
I've lived in Flint, Michigan my entire life, and I was brought up on Coneys. The recipe has always been kept "top secret", and every restaurant has a slightly different version. But my friend's grandmother opened and ran one of Flint's top Coney Island restaurants for many years, and she gave me this recipe. The original recipe calls for beef kidney, heart and suet. But guess what? That's what hot dogs are made from! That's why ground hot dogs are a good substitution. I've tried and tasted many copycat recipes for Coney sauce, but I'm convinced that this one is the best. Coneys are traditionally served using a steamed hot dog bun, a koegel vienna hot dog (any vienna hotdog will do) then topped with the sauce, yellow mustard and finely chopped onions. Yum! The friend also noted that if it tastes like something is missing.. add more cumin. By the way, Koegel Viennas are now available to order online!

GRAM'S FLINT CONEY ISLAND SAUCE
This sauce is one of many recipes claiming originallity from the various "original Flint Coney Island Dog" restaurants throughout the Flint area. The basic difference between this and the New York "Coney Island Sauce" is that the Flint version is a much drier version than the wet New York style. This recipe's history was that it was obtained ingredient by ingredient from a freind of my wife's grandmother who worked at one of the "original" Coney Island restaurants... as with many of these types of foods... this recipe is a "SECRET."

FLINT CONEY ISLAND HOT DOG SAUCE
This was published in the Flint Journal some time after the death of the man who created it. His wife allowed it to be published. There was some discrepancy over the use of beef heart or hot dogs as a main ingredient. I use hot dogs but feel free to experiment with beef heart. This was the cornerstone recipe for several local restaurants in the Flint area where I grew up and is a favorite memory of many who were raised here.

Steps:
- DO NOT brown ground beef before using. Combine ALL ingredients except hot dogs in a pot and simmer until thickened. Stir occasionally to ensure beef does not clump and cooks evenly.
- Grind the hot dogs very fine (or chop fine in food processor) stir into beef mixture and cook 15 minutes longer.
- Use over GOOD natural casing hot dogs (Koegel Vienna if possible) with chopped onion and mustard. The big secret in this recipe is the ground hot dogs. (Hint: Back home, I still used the Koegels' in the sauce, just the skinless ones).
FLINTS ORIGINAL CONEY ISLAND SAUCE
Flint is known for all their coney island places, and they have the best sauce in the country. Kogel Viennas are the ONLY hotdog! Mom saved this from the Flint Journal in 1978 and we have made it ever since. It makes a big batch, so I freeze what is left in meal size portions for 2-3 people. Sometimes I even make a double...
