from the wall street journal http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120855171409927167.html?mod=googlenews_wsj "Thus chastened, I arranged with Ms. O'Neill to tour Coney Island hot spots. She met me at the airport, where I had already scarfed a Coney at the in-terminal branch of a mostly suburban chain, National Coney Island. Their dog, favored by Lino Piedra, a Detroit exile who feeds his habit there between flights without venturing into town, was a brightly seasoned beef-and-pork frank with the snap of a natural (lamb-intestine) casing. The bun was soft; the mustard an unembarrassed yellow; the onions chopped, raw and plentiful; the chili mild and beanless."
