I've had NY style once, and that was while I was visiting DC. Been wanting to find some more that measured up to that. Savanastano's was the first time I've ever had chicago, and I loved it. Also love Joe Momma's. There is a place out in Catoosa called AJ's Heavenly Pizza that I used to eat years ago and have been wanting to eat at again, but they keep strange hours so they never seem to be open when I decide I'm going to get some. Since this thread has started I've been trying the differant places as I can, and now I have a hard time doing delivery anymore, thanks folks lol.
I've got to ask, what is the differance between a NY coney and a Chicago coney? I've never found any that are the way I like em, with plump weiners, smothered in chili, with sour cream, cheese, and saurkraut. Chili dogs should not be eaten any way but with a fork!!!
This is a pizza thread - but at the risk of rebuke, I offer the following hot dog guide (stolen from interwebs) -
Regional Variations
Hot Dogs are served countless ways and vary greatly by region. Many cities are well known for their unique style of blending and configuring the ingredients on their Dogs. Hot Dogs not only differ by how they are prepared and accessorized, but also in size. Regular Hot Dogs are 6 inches in length (15 cm) and "footlong" Hot Dogs are twelve inches (30 cm) long. Here are some of the many popular ways Hot Dogs are served throughout the country:
Chicago - Vienna beef hot dog topped with chopped onions, diced/wedged tomatoes, a dill pickle spear, pickled hot peppers ("sport peppers"), pickle relish, mustard, and celery salt, and served on a poppyseed bun.
Cincinnati - Usually served as a "cheese coney" with Cincinnati chili, shredded mild cheddar cheese, and sometimes chopped onion and/or mustard.
Upstate New York - There are two distinct types of hot dogs. There are Red Hots and White Hots. Red Hots are "normal" hot dogs while White Hots are plumper and were first made by Zweigles of Rochester N.Y.
New York - The street cart-style hot dog is the Sabrett all-beef natural casing frank, boiled and served with onion sauce and deli mustard—or sauerkraut.
North Carolina - Also with chili and cole slaw, with the addition of mustard and onions. Referred to as a hot dog 'all the way.'
Pacific Northwest - Often enjoyed with some combination of ketchup, mustard, relish, and mayo.
Boston - Often served steamed as opposed to grilled. Ketchup, mustard, relish, picalilli, and chopped onions are common toppings. The "Fenway Frank" is a fixture for Red Sox fans.
West Virginia - Hot dogs are usually served with chili sauce (usually without beans) and cole slaw. When served without a wiener, it is locally called a "chili dog", much to the confusion of non-residents.
Rhode Island - Called New York Style Hot Wieners, and served with meat sauce, chopped onion, mustard, and celery salt.
Providence Rhode Island - Home of the excellent New York System Frank, your basic hot dog covered with a watery, all-beef chili, raw chopped onions and curry powder.
Detroit - Served as a "coney" with chili sauce, mustard, and onions on a steamed bun.
Kansas City - A Dog with sauerkraut and melted cheese.
New Jersey - Several styles of Hot Dogs are popular here: A "Potato Dog" has diced and stewed potatoes, brown mustard and served on spicy Sabrett® brand Hot Dog. "Texas Weiners" (chili dogs everywhere else) are Hot Dogs served with brown mustard, hot and spicy chili and diced raw onions. An "Italian Dog" has fried onions, peppers and potatoes.
Georgia - Especially, South Georgia, has a "Scrambled" Dog (or dawg). This is a cheap, usually red-skinned hot dog, on a toasted white bun and topped with mustard and spicy chili sauce.
Southern Slaw Dog - Topped with mustard, chili and cole slaw.

"Get yer Detroit and/or Cincinnati Coney here! Served in Tulsa, Oklahoma in a restaurant cleverly named after the park in New York where hot dogs were first introduced into the Americas! Get yer coney here!"
