Attention, Michiganders: Koegel’s will be in the East Valley this weekend.
The iconic Koegel Meat Company, founded in Flint, Mich., in 1916, still produces 27 types of meat products, led by its signature hot dogs.
(According to hot dog connoisseurs, you’re not eating an official Flint-style coney if it’s not made with a Koegel hot dog.)
The problem for Michigan expatriates is Koegel products are sold almost exclusively in Michigan, although you can order some items online.
Fortunately, a ‘‘Koegel’s on the Road’’ tour will stop at the Best Western on the southwest corner of Arizona Avenue and Ray in Chandler this weekend.
A number of Koegel products will be on sale from noon to 8 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday in the motel’s meeting room, including:
- Skinless beef franks (10 for $6.50 or 39 for $22)
- Polish sausages (four for $6.95)
- Vienna sausages (eight for $6.75 or 24 for $20)
- Bratwurst (four for $6.95)
- Flint coney sauce (4 pounds for $22)
- Chili (13 ounces for $5)
Other items available for purchase: sliced beef bologna, pickle loaf, Braunschweiger, pickled bologna, bologna rings, liver rings, summer sausage, cotto salami, and more.
Credit cards and cash will be accepted, but not personal checks.
