                                While both a coney dog and a chili cheese dog are smothered in a savory meat sauce, their differences are more significant than just regional names. A coney dog is characterized by its specific, beanless meat sauce and Midwestern origins, while a chili cheese dog is a broader term with a thicker, often bean-inclusive chili.
