About

From the recipes of Greek immigrants to dinner tables the world over, the Drive-In Coney Dog has had a long and storied history... the next chapter of which takes place in your kitchen. The hot dog is as juicy and beefy as ever, slathered in a deeply savory and meaty sauce, almost chili-like in its thickness and flavor. Drive-In Coney Dog is a quick way to shake up your barbeque or cookout, adding a delicious way to beef up (see what we did there) your dinner. Don't forget the cheese for topping!
