American or Lafayette?
I recently had someone from out-of-state ask me which is better: American Coney or its neighbor, Lafayette.
For someone that doesn’t eat coneys, I really cannot answer this question; in my opinion, the french fries and salads that I’ve had at both are equally pleasing after a late night out.
My fiance prefers Lafayette, because he says they use cheddar cheese. He also likes the narrow layout of Lafayette and the fact that Demo (sp?) works there. I do believe that American stays open later than Lafayette does, though.
How about you? Are an American or Lafayette lover?
Lafayette is the one and only coney worth eating in Detroit. I’m embarrassed for you that you even had to ask.
Lafayette. No contest.
Lafayette…
I prefer Flo’s… it’s a bit of a hike (out east in Maine) but the whole procedure for ordering your food is well worth the 14 hour (each way) drive.
Flo’s is an over-rated tourist trap. There is absolutely nothing special about her mustard. But hey, she does an amazing job of trapping the tourist.
They have salads at Lafayette?
Flo’s … an Over-Rated Tourist Trap?! Obviously you haven’t been to the right Flo’s… I’m talking about the one on Route 1 in Cape Neddick. You must have never have been there…
Oh and Jeppy – Flo’s serves hotdogs not Coney Dogs. There is a difference.
Still say Lafayette is better.
