Over the weekend, Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy shared a video of his decision-making as he tried the chili-topped hot dog dishes at Lafayette Coney Island and American Coney Island to determine which is better.
In the video, Portnoy states, "I didn't know this was such a big thing in Detroit! This is like the Red Sox and Yankees. I love this rivalry."
He seemed to enjoy both dishes, but the final "nod goes to American," he said in the clip.
Why the pick? He said American's hot dog wasn't as overpowering.
In addition, Portnoy's charity, The Barstool Fund, is currently asking for donations for American via its website. To date, the fund has raked in more than $29 million for restaurants and other small businesses in the U.S. that are hurting due to the pandemic.
Will Portnoy also raise funds for Lafayette Coney Island? Time will tell.
