DECEMBER 4
Carl's Coney Island in Tulsa marks its 50th year.
On October 21, they served 50 cent Coney digs all day at its location in Crystal City Shopping Center.
Owner Mike and Janet Cook have sold it, but the new owners say they will keep things the same.
Carl Kennedy founded it in 1971.
Tulsa has a long history with Coney dogs. One of the regional chains featuring it is the I-Lander which started in 1926. There is also a Coney Island restaurant downtown.
These were founded by Greek immigrant Christ Economou.
Next time in Tulsa I am going to have to check one of these out. I am a huge Coney Dog fan and really like the ones at the local Dog 'N Suds that we have around here. (Three of the seven remaining Dog 'N Suds are located within twenty miles of us here in northeastern Illinois.)
Love Them Coney Dogs!! --RoadConey
