100% agree. They both are good. But the Lafayette Coney is the best.

I'm team Lafayette hands down. I got 2 of each and then went back for a 5th at Lafayette. Plus that old guy has been making dogs there for as long as I can remember.

Grew up in Dearborn Heights. Coneys were my number one. Moms first job was a secretary in the Penobscot building. 😊 Hands down, LAFAYETTE BABY! Love Ray by the way. That rhymes! 😍

@@swully-ol4lx that is fascinating.

I've always been a Lafayette man myself when it comes to the chili. But I've also found American has a better dog. Their dog has more snap to it and it's so juicy. I always get one at Lafayette then go nextdoor for a second at American. If I can handle it I go back for a third at Lafayette. That's my way when in downtown Detroit. Been doing it since a teenager. I'm 70 now.

Totally agree!

The rivalry isn't real! It's the best marketing ploy ever from two brothers! Opa!!

also, as a chef who did a lot of butchering, much love and respect to Mr. Ely!

I grew up in Detroit and have had both. My favorite is Lafayette.

WOOT RON ELY IN THE HOUSE

Second video in and i'm addicted ❤️ love the energy

Yep, I'd live on Coney dogs if they'd let me. I actually love to put tzatziki sauce on them, my brother always said it looked like bird sh**. I'm adding on because I didn't wait until the end to comment. I remember going to Kerby's at Summit Place Mall when I was growing up, Kerby's is still one of my faves. Shout out to Lipuma's in Rochester as well,even the owner once told me I was going to turn into a Coney dog because I was there so much.

Thank You for mentioning Lipumas in Rochester as they are a contender as well.

When your dad broke out the "holy mackerel!" it took me right back, lol. Born in Michigan (currently in PA); most of my relatives are still there. Loved this!!!

Did you and Pops switch hats?

Amazing video with Mr Ron Ely!! I can’t wait to go do that challenge. Next time I’m in Detroit , I gotta do it!! 🌭🌭⬆️🌭🌭⬇️ amirite?

I love your dad😊 Wish he could be in more of your videos. Keep doing what you do🙂 You always make me smile 😃 Have a fantabulous day.

Lafayette for me, every time, and a can of Vernors. Although yes, the folks at American are friendlier. But I’d eat a freaking airport coney right now 🤤 Thanks for stopping by, Pops Ely!

Love watching the episodes with you and your dad.... reminds me of hitting up places with my dad before and after school when he was in town from work. These bring back great memories. Thanks!!

MAD LOVE

You 2 are adorable. It's awesome having an awesome dad. 💙

Such a fun video! Hope to see more videos with the two of you!

im hooked

Ur dad reminded me of how nice mine was the laugh kindness easy going man the memories coming back i appreciate yall thanku

Really enjoyed that video Sean, your dads a great storyteller

The Legend returns. I really like that.

yay!!! Sean's Dad is in the video! he's so awesome!! great video guys!!

Everything looked great except that my only problem is that I like brown mustard WAY better than yellow mustard. I wish those places had a choice of the two types of mustards!

The weekend binge starts here. Chili dogs AND Ron Ely, that's the way to get the party started.

Wow long Time 😣❤️

That’s awesome! I missed seeing your old man. I’ve been hoping he would be more of a cast member here and on No’6W/cheese ever since y’all did the homemade stuffed burger and impossible whopper vs. regular whopper videos. Your dad doing those Malört shots was priceless 😂

Yes! The essential Detroit Coney dog showdown. 👍🌭🌭

Miss my dad glad you and yours get to hangout

Lipumas. In Rochester Michigan ❤ the best coneys

Just so y'all know, the main difference between the two places is the onions. American uses Sweet Vidalia Onions and Lafayette uses Spanish Onions. Also, both places are owned by the same family (the owners are cousins).

What a fascinating rivalry! Only had American but in Vegas. Not sure that counts…haha!

Biggest thing I miss from MI is coney dogs.. I love both ... but grew up eating bill's drive thru in Ypsi

I did the same thing, both in a car, straight from the airport, earlier this year. Hadn’t had since mid 00s, and I agree with descriptions of taste. The difference is subtle & most will differ to American, I believe it’s because the chili is easier to go down, there’s no pause. Overall, for me American is a chicken breast sandwich, off the bone. Lafayette is thigh meat, on the bone. Love both, but depending on the day, one is better than the other.

You should do more with your dad he is a genuine nice guy and is just grt you have a grt dad. Maybe open a channel like "Seans happy hour with dad"

Great video guys. Both those Coney places rock! And you voted exactly the same as i do. Lafayette has a slight edge due to the very mild heat factor. However, i will visit the one with the shortest line to be honest!

dad always reminds me of Stephen Root...

Lafayette was like a second home for my dad. I used to LOVE going there with him. As the folks in the window would see him coming, they’d serve him 2 coneys as he sat down. They knew him and his order. Some of my best childhood memories…

I had a leo's next to my last 2 jobs, i've lost like 20 coney lbs since i got a new job lol

Never have either one. But I think you would love our signature hot dogs from New York. We have three, Rochester has zweigles, Syracuse has Hoffman, and buffalo has sahlens. We love sahlens the most. Great review Sean and Ron.

Like them both. Flint coney #1 cause born and raised on them.🌭🌭🌭

I’ve never had Lafayette but just have to give the edge to American Coney since they had the nads to open up in Las Vegas!

We left Fox theater and was walking by and I had to try, but I could only choose one. I chose American. From what I've been hearing, I screwed up. This was a good one.

Shout out to Papa Ely! You gotta get him back on the channel soon.

Love to see Pops on the videos!

GOOD CALL, POPS

Lived in and around Detroit my whole life. Lafayette gets the slight edge for me over American, but the best coneys are at Lipuma’s in Rochester.

They both purchase there chili sauce from National Coney Island chili company but American Coney Island adds lawrys seasoning salt to it while Lafayette adds vinegar to make it “different”. There weiners are both from Dearborn Sausage Company

I agree, they're both really good coney dogs, Lafayette's chili and mustard are just a little better than American's.

@blitzphantom9488

Жыл бұрын

Way better.

My choice is always Lafayette. There's just a slightly better seasoning that I prefer in their sauce. The Spanish onions are definitely a better taste, too. Now, that said, I do like American as well. Wouldn't turn either one down. But, Those couple little things will always put Lafayette on top for me. Oh, and I don't get mustard. Never liked yellow mustard. Me, personally, I think it takes away from the taste of the sauce but that's just my singular opinion that means nothing to anyone but me. :) Now if you want a real trip, Do American or Lafayette, Jackson Coney and Fort Wayne Famous Coney all in a day and compare the three who claim to be the originals. I just was in Huntington, IN and stopped off at Jackson and Fort Wayne on my way down there to do comparisons. I guess you could throw Kalamazoo Coney on that list, too since they've been open since 1915 on Michigan Avenue. ;)

Lafayette reigns supreme.

Now, I think American has a slightly more flavor but Lafayette has the ambience. Both are wonderful. BTW, the snap is only different as to how long one was on the grill because the same company makes the dogs, so, even though the spice profile might be different, I'm sure they're both in the exact same casings, possibly from the same barrel. I hope your father doesn't waste his time rating hot dog places in Florida as our best don't compare to Detroit's. :)

Lafayette uses Vienna dogs that have the natural casings. That is the “snap” you get. A bit better quality.

Hell yeah papa ely!

I definitely need to try both of these places Detroit gets a bad rap unfortunately but I always say good and bad to every city

The Detroit stereotypes are so misconstrued just like Chicago. It’s a beautiful city with so many hard working people and fantastic spots that make up the spine of the town. I love it so much.

Go to flint and try our coney

HAWT DAWGS

Never been to Detroit. So hard to say which is better. I agree with you, each can be very good for different reasons. I had an American Clone Recipe from many years ago. I lost it. Bummer. I can find it again I think but it would take spending an afternoon at the library finding the article that had the clone. We had a Coney shop here being founded by Greek Immigrants in the 1920's. Sadly, it closed to the public 30 years ago. I was paying I think 45 cents for a coney when I had them. Question I have, Do Detroit Coneys offer Cheese Coney's? Or is that only in Cincinnati? We just finished Hot Dog Celebration Month and I have had both. At my favorite place called My Place.

The hot dogs at Trigger Stadium 🏟️ when I was a kid where the best. I still love hot dogs and peanuts 🥜 with the shells on was the best with me dad in Detroit my brother and see the game.

Get some National Chili and Dearborn Sausage hot dogs with the casing and make a better coney then both of them!

It’s pronounced ’Lah-fee-et’ not ‘Lah-f’eye-et’. And Lafayette is the best.

Sorry I live downtown Detroit and these aren't even the best in the city....if u go down the street Kings Grill are way better than both

As a detroiter I feel both these places are the most overrated restaurants in town. National coney island makes the best coney imo. Their chili is used by hundreds of other coney islands in area. You're dad looks like Bob Stoops
