I remember Dad taking me to the Original Coney Island when I was kid. He knew the Arvanitis family that owned the restuarant and he'd chat while we had our coney islands. (I still remember one time when the owner gave me a 5th Avenue candy bar.) It was an old place with dim lighting and old paint. Two parts - the restaurant that had a big bar and a bar side that you got to through a door. Dad talked for years about finding a recipe for the sauce.(The writer below has a similar story to mine)
BakeSpace.com: When I was growing up, my father would occasionally bring home Coney Island hot dogs from a place in downtown St Paul, MN. We loved this treat, especially the meat sauce on top of the dogs. When I found this recipe, I was pleased to see that it is very similar to that sauce from my childhood. The original recipe, of course, hails from Coney Island, NY, where the hot dogs are eaten by the beach.
