Detroit is famous for their own version of the Coney Island hot dog.
It consists of a hot dog bun with a slice of cheese laid on it, then a
hotdog that had been cooked on a flat-top surface, topped with loose
seasoned browned ground beef, then a layer of chili without beans, and
finally topped with onions and mustard.
