FORT WAYNE FAMOUS CONEY ISLAND - Indiana's #1 Best Hotdog!

#bestindianahotdog #fortwayneindiana #FortWayneConeyIsland
Today we are driving through the state of Indiana in search of the states best #1 Hotdog, Fort Wayne Famous Coney Island Hotdog. In fact, Fort Wayne Famous Coney Island may have one of the best hotdogs in the country. The coney island dog is a plump juicy hotdog in a warm steamed bun, smothered in a meat chilli sauce, covered in chopped onions, and then topped with a small ribbon of tangy mustard. This is a very affordable and extremely tasty meal. A little bit about Fort Wayne Famous Coney Island Hotdog...
When darkness falls on Main Street, one business stands out as a beacon in the night-the venerable Coney Island Wiener Stand.
During the holidays the windows fog up from the crowd inside as a line of chilly would-be noshers snakes out the door and down the block. During Christmas season many families cap off an evening of going downtown to see the giant lighted Santa on the PNC Bank building with a trip to Coney Island.
The restaurant does stay busy year-round-good enough, in fact, that it opens daily at 9 a.m. seven days a week.
So why has this hot dog stand at 131 W. Main Street endured since 1914 when so many trendier, glitzier restaurants have not? In a world transforming at a seemingly alarming pace the Coney Island somehow seems changeless.
The wonderful, polite fast service keeps people coming back but then so do the memories. It’s a happy experience. When old-timers come back it’s the happy things they remember.
Stepping into the Coney Island is like stepping back in time-maybe not all the way to 1914, when it opened, but back to the days when going out for a couple of hot dogs was considered a real treat.
Passersby can feast their eyes on the neatly lined rows of hot dogs cooking on the grill in the front window. Inside, a neon sign in the back proclaims, “Our Buns Are Steamed.”
What about the star attraction-the hot dogs? Patrons young and old find the juicy franks-plopped into steamed buns, drizzled with chili sauce and topped with hand-chopped onions-irresistible.
Fort Wayne's Famous Coney Island, oldest hot dog stand in America - Founded in 1914
This is a Indiana must eat!

How far in advance do you have to make reservations for a restaurant with file cabinets in the dining room?

Love this dog!!!!

[@SantosChronicles]

This place looks so good. Love your Hotdog series. Did you do one in Chicago? I have a Flat Top grill like these guys. Here in Chicago, you get shamed for Ketchup. Addison growing up only ordered Hotdog and no bun. I’ll have to try this place. Your husband is the comic relief.

I’m afraid to do one in Chicago! Chicagoans are fierce over their hotdogs!!! Ha ha ha

Nice

I disagree; grape soda is disgusting!!! Fake grape is the worst of fake fruit flavors in my opinion. The hot dogs look good, though.
