[pic snipped]: serious coney business
Lucy Knisley
UntitledNo, I’m sorry, fuck this. Michigan practically owns a coney dog and we are not a united front.
FUCK THIS YOU DON’T KNOW US
gotta agree with rgr-pop on this one.
Like, one more time, LISTEN.
I love a Chicago style or Memphis or (especially) Kansas City, and I respect that we’ve all got our partics. But, like, LISTEN, OKAY: the regional Coney is an older and more established fixture in Southern Michigan than it is anywhere except New York and Jersey itself. MICHIGAN OWNS CONEYS, OKAY: diners and Coney Islands historically took hold in places where there were links to autoways and the auto industry as well as a certain degree of sprawl and mobility because of a very specific type of middle-class development, IE MICHIGAN
So for this to not acknowledge that can only mean
that this artist does not care about black people/Greek immigrants
FUCK THIS, STILL MAD.
Reblogged because culinary geography is a ridiculously interesting topic.
(I have eaten hot dogs in many different places but there is nothing—NOTHING—like a Detroit Coney. Fuckin’ beef hearts, man. Glorious.)
