Plattsburgh, NY: McSweeney's
March 17, 2007

Listen to this feature (How to listen)

One of the strangest, most isolated hot dog traditions has been going strong for more than 60 years exclusively at McSweeney's in upstate New York. Elsewhere it might be called a chilidog; here, it's an aberration called a "Michigan." A special boat-shaped bun holds a small pink wiener smothered in chili. Ask for the onions "buried," as the locals do.

McSweeney's is a drive-in joint, open all year, with car hop service outside and counter or table service inside.
