Michigan sauce

A Michigan hot dog, Michigan red hot, or simply "Michigan" is a steamed all-beef hot dog on a steamed bun topped with a meaty sauce, generally referred to as "michigan sauce", and is a specialty in and around Plattsburgh, New York. There is no consensus on the origin of the Michigan, which according to some sources is not capitalized. Eula and Garth Otis, who opened the first Michigan stand in Plattsburgh, New York, in 1927, were originally from Michigan. According to Press-Republican columnist Gordie Little, a newspaper advertisement for the Otis's Michigans appeared in 1927. Little calls the Michigan "a cultural institution."
