After tuning into Wednesday's episode of the game show , fans were left furious by how hot dogs were described
The $1,200 'City-Slang' card read: 'Order a Coney Island at Detroit's finer eateries and you'll get this.'
Adriana first answered: 'What is a hot dog?'
However, host Ken Jennings quickly chimed in and said: 'Can you be more specific?'
The winner said: 'A chili dog?'
Ken - who recently celebrated his 50 birthday on the game show - noted that her second response was correct.
However, fans weren't convinced of her hot dog description and made sure to let the world know that the reply left them filled with fury.
In a Reddit thread titled, Jeopardy!, viewers complained about the inaccuracy of the response.
One person said: 'A Detroit Coney does not have chili on it! It is a specific meat sauce that is not chili.

'I used to make it at aMichigan restaurant, I also made chili and they are vastly different.'
Someone else said: 'A Coney dog is different than a chili dog for sure. We were yelling at the TV last night. These monsters probably think Chili and Sloppy Joes are the same thing.'
Another user added: 'As a native metro Detroiter - agree as well. You can buy it at Meijer andWalmart and it is NOT chili. It's beef heart sauce with ground meat.'
One person wrote: 'As someone who comes from Fort Wayne, Indiana, with our historic Coney Island, I agree.'
And this isn't the first time Jeopardy! fans were left enraged by a response.
Viewers alsomercilessly mocked the three contestantswhen Ken tested their knowledge during the 21st century sports category and they failed to answer an 'easy' question about the World Series.
It all kicked off when Ken asked for $400: 'In 2007, this NL squad became the first team with 10,000 losses; in 2008 they won the world series behind Cole Hamels and Ryan Howard.'
Christina then incorrectly buzzed in with: 'Who are the Chicago Cubs?'
The correct answer was the Philadelphia Phillies, who beat the Tampa Bay Rays on October 29, 2008.
The Phillies' victory, under manager Charlie Manuel, was the team's first World Series win since the 1980 World Series, and the city's first major sports championship in 25 years.
To date, this is the most recent season the Phillies have won in the competition.

Just one day earlier, fans mercilessly mocked Christina Paul (seen) when she incorrectly answered the question,'In 2007, this NL squad became the first team with 10,000 losses'
And that wasn't the only sports related question that left the contestants stumped.
Later in the game, Ken asked: 'A bit like sci-fi's Anywhere Door or Phoenix Gate, it opened on Oct. 15, 2018 to whisk college athletes to a new school.'
The answer? Transfer portal. But all three players were clueless.
They also gave the wrong answer to the question: 'With Oklahoma City, this master of the triple-double became the first back-to-back MVP of the NBA All-Star Game since the 1950s.'
Viewers didn't hold back from venting their frustration at the players' lack of knowledge, with one even going as far as jokingly declaring them 'permanently banned from Philadelphia.'
'There is nothing better than when the incredibly smart people on Jeopardy! don't know something that all of us unwashed sports slobs know,' wrote one viewer on X.
Phillies sports blog, Cross Broad, wrote: 'No respect for the 2008 World Series Champ on Jeopardy! tonight.'
A third added: 'They are permanently banned from Philadelphia,' while afourth said: 'Devastated no one knew the @Phillies on @Jeopardy.'
Another begged: 'We need more sports fans on Jeopardy!'
