Tomato Based in Montreal?

Is it correct that Michigan sauce is "invariably tomato based" in Montreal, or is the writer mistaking the deep color of the roux mixed into the sauce there with that of tomatos?

70.231.128.75 16:55, 23 May 2007 (UTC)Steve P. Of interest: NPR just aired a commentary on the New York State Michigan Hot Dog. One of its primary points was about the "Bun" being specially made with both ends baked 'closed' so to keep either the onions or the sauce from falling out, however, the bun only holds the buried item, the one on the top of the dog stills falls off. Note: I was born and raised in Jackson, MI, Home of the Coney Dog and the Michigan Sauce. Buns there were not Closed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.93.94.165 (talk) 16:51, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have been searching for a red hot recipe and have only come up with michigan recipes, the difference being michigan sauce is more "wet." I have to admit that I don't have extensive culinary training. Is it a matter of simmering longer or is the redhot recipe entirely different from michigan sauce? 65.183.128.86 (talk) 13:52, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Todoroffs in Brooklyn?

This part of the article is probably incorrect:

"In 1914, Mr. Todoroff took his recipe to Coney Island in Brooklyn New York and opened his first restaurant."

Don't think there was ever a Todoroff's in Brooklyn. This would go against pretty much everything about hot dog evolution, general Consensus being that greek entrepreneurs took the coney island brooklyn business model, put their own twist on it (the greek sauce / coney sauce / chili ) and spread the concept west to NJ, PA, NY, Ohio and Detroit.

not even Todoroff's website makes this claim- "George founded the Jackson Coney Island restaurant in 1914....His Jackson Coney Island restaurant was located in front of the Jackson Train Station on East Michigan Avenue" - Jackson being a town in Michigan, far from Coney Island Brooklyn.

Detroit Slang

I've lived in Detroit for my whole life, and I think that it's somewhat inaccurate to say that we use the term "Cony Island" to mean a greasy spoon. There are a lot of little diners around here that have "Cony Island" in the name, but that's about as far as I've ever known it to go. messor (talk) 07:45, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How to cite an absence of evidence?

“Oddly enough, "Michigan hot dogs" are never referred to by that name in Michigan itself, nor anywhere else in the Midwest.[citation needed]”

Would folks prefer “rarely, if ever”? Jbsegal (talk) 18:15, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Midwest is big enough that I'm sure someone called them that. But unless it's sourced, let's drop it entirely as original research. Jonathunder (talk) 22:46, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
