Fort Wayne’s legendary Coney Island, serving hot dogs since 1914, just got national attention after being featured by National Geographic—proving it’s not just the oldest hot dog stand in the country, but a living piece of American food history.

It’s a triumphant moment for a humble eatery that’s stayed true to its roots through the decades.
