118 W. Lafayette Blvd.,
Detroit; 313-964-8198
One of the best hot dog spots in town,
Lafayette’s real charm lies in its character: food orders shouted into the
steamy kitchen, the sound of plates rattling and the cast of characters
strolling in at 2 a.m. Lafayette’s plain coney dogs make a quality meal,
boasting thick, meaty chili sauce, fresh onion and mustard, and only all-meat
franks — not the filler-laden "hot dogs" common at lesser establishments.
