Split hot dog grilled with mustard, chopped raw onion and a meaty house chili sauce; not a Detroit-style coney but a northern New England regional variant.
The Michigan dog made its way to Burlington in the 1940s via Plattsburgh, NY, where Greek-American hot-dog stand owners adapted the Greek-influenced coney sauce to a northern audience. Beansie's Bus has served Michigan dogs at Battery Park since 1944 and Handy's Lunch on Maple Street since 1945; both are still doing it.
