Born and raised in Detroit. These people are clueless. Never heard of "pannukakku". And we don't put cheese on our coneys. Missing Better Made chips, paczkis, Mackinac Island fudge, Vernor's, an assortment of craft beers and the pasties needed gravy.
I'm from Michigan, the Detroit area, and you totally forgot Better Made BBQ chips, Vernor's, and some local craft beers. Those chili dogs were suspect....we don't put cheese on them and that chili was way too chunky. LOL!
I like the two bigger guys, they get it. In Michigan, we know comfort food, what's not to like about a chili dog? The others are pampered prudes, need to get out of Canoga Park more often.
You need a redo on the coney dog. Those are just Chili Dogs, those folks did not taste a true Coney. Beanless chili, mustard and onion on a natural casing hot dog that snaps. That is how you make a true coney.
I love how the guy tries to explain how root vegetables don't grow in Michigan, and the Tundra:) Especially since Carrots are a huge export for Michigan:)
The one who has "never had a hot pocket"? Yeah, she's had plenty of hot pockets. Everybody has had hot pockets. She even kind of admits she probably had hot pockets. She's a snob.
Michigan is a tundra??? Really are you serious? No. I was born and raised in Michigan and not only does it have all four seasons but they are some of the most beautiful seasons I've seen anywhere else, thank you. Trust me, if you want tundra, go to North Dakota.
Ummm yea North Dakota doesn't have tundra either, Lots of Agriculture... but in all fairness the Red River valley is really flat and open so in winter it does look a bit like the arctic.
Never heard of pannukakku. I would have given them some Vernor's as well. I would however like to punch the guy in the glasses with that Sage shirt on for assuming that Michigan is an Arctic tundra that grows nothing. It is only that 8 months out of the year. ;)
Pasties, were brought over to Michigan by British miners ( Copper in MI) from Cornwall, but they were made popular by the numerous Finnish immigrants and to this day, if you visit the Kewanaw Peninsula in far northern Michigan, you will taste the Finnish version of this tasty meat pie., The hipsters who shun this wonderful creation? Are too Californicated to understand American goodness.
I never had pannukakku until I went to a Finnish-American club in Florida. My dad said he hadn't either. We both lived in Michigan the majority of our lives. And we're Finnish. Must be more popular ip north or something. But yeah I made it for Christmas and it is really easy and delicious. More traditional to eat it with berries.
Michigan food is awesome that's why make it on the daily basis. I love cooking food in Michigan. Michigan Michigan Michigan Michigan Michigan Michigan Michigan Hi5 from Michigan.
that guy says that vegetables dont grow in the ground in Michigan 😒 dont be stupid. Its not always winter here. theres spring, summer, and fall here too.
I live in michigan as well.... flint area. That's a flint style Coney... Detroit uses a chili like sauce..flint uses a drier ground beef mix topped with onions and mustard. No cheese. Only kogel hotdogs are used in real michigan coneys. Made right here in flint. Also ive never heard of that pie they where eating... is it just me?
Vernors? Bettermade? Yellow Perch? or fricking Blueberries? We are literally the blueberry capital of the world and no blueberry pie or buckle? Pasties are still my favorite though.
As a long time resident of Michigan I'm proud to share that a largely grown root veggie here is beets. We make a lot of granulated sugar from it (instead of cane).
We also have great middle eastern food from the Arab capital of the US: Dearborn. No fudge? No Vernors? No Bettermade? No IPA? No kogel hot dogs? No apples? Beets? Michigan strawberries? No Cherry Republic? We do not put chunky chilli with beef hearts on our hot dogs. The last one was a stranger to me. You all should be ashamed of this video. Ask Michiganders what you should be trying next time. Did you even do research?
Superman ice cream is a Michigan thing also by the way, who knew. And technically we have the second most diverse agriculture behind only California so suck it.
Those chili dogs looked sketchy! I've lived in Michigan my whole life and they've always looked more appealing than that. :) Next time you should add blue moon ice cream, michigan blueberries, and traverse city cherries!
When are you guys going to do an Illinois or Chicago taste test...I'm from IL and would love to see you guys eat what we eat...lol. By the way it does not snow 24/7 in Michigan so you can actually grow things in Michigan.
I've lived in 4 tourist towns in Michigan my whole life. I've had the Swedish pancakes, which are smaller and more tender than reg pancakes. I'll have to go to the UP and try that Finnish style pancakes now. Pasties need gravy, Vernor's Ginger Ale is the bomb, and GIBBY'S FRIES YUM, nuf said! With Love from Traverse City!
Pasties, pickled herring, braunschweiger, vinegar fries, german potato salad, kiabasa with suarkraut, deep fried smelt, and smoked whitefish. Also, any animal that walks. Thank you, a 'gander..
I laughed so hard at this, for some reason. And now you guys need to do a "wisconsin taste test" because why wouldn't you wanna try beer cheese soup? 😋🍻
I went to the UP over Memorial Day weekend with some friends of mine. I was in the mood for a pasty, which we were planning on getting from the Lake Superior Brewing Company. Alas, the last one they had for the day had been sold ten minutes before we got there. I was crestfallen, however, they have delicious pizza.
WHY IS THERE CHEESE ON THOSE CONEY DOGS?! You NEVER put cheese on them. A Coney Dog consist of a steamed Kogel Vienna, white bun, Coney sauce, yellow mustard and white onion.
Superman, Blue Moon and Mackinaw Island Fudge Ice creams. re-do on the Coneys from one of the "original recipe shops" with just chili, mustard, onions. and not exclusive to Michigan deep fried walleye and perch are staples especially on Friday fish fry's
I have lived in Michigan my whole life and have never had any of these things. Being a vegetarian is part of it, but I just don't really hear about any of these in Grand Rapids. We do have a coney shop, but no one really talks about it too much. Everyone is all about Yesterdog, which has a really weird veggie dog that I don't care for.
stuffed quohogs, hot weiners (all the way), lobster rolls, coffee milk, clam cakes and clam chowder, dels lemonade, stuffed cherry peppers....its real life fun and delicious and its everything.
to bad you didn't do a coney taste test because Coney's are serious business in Michigan. being from the Flint area Angelo's flint style is of course the best but then there are multiple Detroit styles. Maybe an idea for a new video have californians decide?
Ok I have only heard of the Cony dog I used to eat them at dog'n suds. Seriously though how can you have a Michigan food taste test without Verners Ginger ale?
What no Mackinaw Island Fudge?!!! Manny & Adam were soo cheated I have to say they were complete Foodies... And not enough gravy in the Pasties They were a bit dry. Beef Heart Chili... Venison Heart would be correct Yet I understand that particular ingredient would have been a bit hard to obtain in California. Malt vinegar on French Fries then dip them in Mayonnaise. That is soo damn good your Cardiologist will have the heart attack
Pasties and Pannukaku is a northern Michigan thing but celebrated by Traditional Michiganders, Coney Dog, faygo are very much lower right side of Michigan thing. Grand Rapids, well not sure what it contributes in the food category, perhaps bland mash potatoes. Lot of Missing Michigan Staple foods missing from this video.
They didn't try Vernors. Whether you like it or not (which I don't understand how anyone could not), everyone knows what Vernors is. I've living here 40 years, and I've never heard of pannukakku.
This is hilarious they think Michigan is like Alaska
It goes down to -15 in the winter but it can go up to 105 in the summer 😂😂😂
Born and raised in Detroit. These people are clueless. Never heard of "pannukakku". And we don't put cheese on our coneys. Missing Better Made chips, paczkis, Mackinac Island fudge, Vernor's, an assortment of craft beers and the pasties needed gravy.
pannukakku is basically a Finnish pancake. I live in the UP yass I'm a yooper so people in the UP usually have eaten or heard of it
I'm from Michigan, the Detroit area, and you totally forgot Better Made BBQ chips, Vernor's, and some local craft beers. Those chili dogs were suspect....we don't put cheese on them and that chili was way too chunky. LOL!
It's a coney dog, not a chili dog. Coney dogs are served with chili sauce, cheese (shredded or sauce), mustard and onions.
I believe that was supposed the be mustard lol.
Smug Hubris It's both. And it's delicious.
Those weren't chili dogs, they were coneys. Everyone puts cheese on coneys, because they're coneys. Coney?
RedBearded T Also coneys are made with coney sauce, not chili. (Beef, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, onions and spices.
This guy is joking about Michigan and tundra/no other vegetables growing in Michigan, right? Or is he just that ignorant?
I don't know, he seemed genuinely confused about the meaning and location of "tundra".
www.marietta.edu/~biol/biomes/images/tundra/tundra.jpg
He's just ignorant. Michigan, and the rest of the Midwest, is not at all tundra. Maybe he's thinking of Alaska?
You'd be surprised.
The guy was ignorant.
West coast...he's probably just that ignorant.
You forgot to give then Mackinac island fudge
I like the two bigger guys, they get it. In Michigan, we know comfort food, what's not to like about a chili dog? The others are pampered prudes, need to get out of Canoga Park more often.
From Grand Rapids MI, born and raised. All this made me do is realize I should hate 4 out of 6 californians and wonder what the hell pannukaku is.
You need a redo on the coney dog. Those are just Chili Dogs, those folks did not taste a true Coney. Beanless chili, mustard and onion on a natural casing hot dog that snaps. That is how you make a true coney.
I love how the guy tries to explain how root vegetables don't grow in Michigan, and the Tundra:) Especially since Carrots are a huge export for Michigan:)
Rock and Rye is the best pop ever!!!
Wtf they missed a ton of stuff like Vernors, Fudge, Better Made chips. At least they got Faygo😊 its the best pop ever
Also I think it's amusing that they think michigan hot dogs are processed when Kogel's has the best quality hot dogs only in michigan.
Minus flavour? You're not eating a good pastie if it's not flavourfull.
Is it just me, or is that one woman just... kind of a snob?
The one who has "never had a hot pocket"? Yeah, she's had plenty of hot pockets. Everybody has had hot pockets. She even kind of admits she probably had hot pockets. She's a snob.
No blue moon? And watching them talk shit about Rock n Rye broke my heart lol
i live in michigan and live on the first 3. wtf is pukkukke stuff?? should have done deep dish pizza or Mackinaw fudge...or frankenmuth beer.
Michigan is a tundra??? Really are you serious? No. I was born and raised in Michigan and not only does it have all four seasons but they are some of the most beautiful seasons I've seen anywhere else, thank you. Trust me, if you want tundra, go to North Dakota.
So true!
Ummm yea North Dakota doesn't have tundra either, Lots of Agriculture... but in all fairness the Red River valley is really flat and open so in winter it does look a bit like the arctic.
Some people are so ignorant sometimes.
How was this person ignorant?
Nick Jenks
He was ignorant because he thought something was true that isn't. That is what ignorant means.
How could they forget cherries. Michigan is the cherry capital of the world
Instead of pannukakku, they shoulda had them try paczkis. Props to the dude duo...they know good food when they taste it lol
They completely forgot about the fudge and anything with cherries. Both are staples of Michigan food.
why the hell is there cheese on a coney dog?! grrr
Never heard of pannukakku. I would have given them some Vernor's as well. I would however like to punch the guy in the glasses with that Sage shirt on for assuming that Michigan is an Arctic tundra that grows nothing. It is only that 8 months out of the year. ;)
And the rest of the time, we have orange barrels.

Tracie Irene We've heard that pannukakku is definitely a UP delicacy. Berries woudl be an awesome topping for those fluffy pieces of heaven!
It is popular in the copper mining areas, particularly in the Keweenaw.(The rabbit's ears)
Interesting. My grandpa was born up there in Calumet but they moved to Detroit when he was 16, and that's where the family stuck.
awesome! I originally lived in Taylor, (down the river from detroit) but then moved
Michigan food is awesome that's why make it on the daily basis. I love cooking food in Michigan. Michigan Michigan Michigan Michigan Michigan Michigan Michigan Hi5 from Michigan.
you guys dont have faygo? in my family faygo and solo cups are the first things you grab when shopping for a party 😂
Someone should tell that guy in the Sage shirt that tons of root vegetables grow in "the North" oh and Michigan isn't the "tundra"
5:43 oh god please no
that guy says that vegetables dont grow in the ground in Michigan 😒 dont be stupid. Its not always winter here. theres spring, summer, and fall here too.

No paczkis?!?!?!! WHAT?!?!?
My grandma used to say, "Pasties (pronounced paste-eez) are something strippers wear. Pasties (pronounced passed-eez) are what you eat." :)
As a long time resident of Michigan I'm proud to share that a largely grown root veggie here is beets. We make a lot of granulated sugar from it (instead of cane).
"Think about Siberia and that's Michigan"
I have lived in Michigan my whole life, and have never heard of any of these except Coney Dogs. wat
The first one is from the U.P. And Faygo is a mayor pop brand. I live in Michigan
+Alice Hutchins Hahaha Pasties are actually from Cornwall, England in the UK!
Who da hell never had a chili dog?
Coney dog man. Not the same thing. Chili dog has chili sauce on it. Coney dogs have coney sauce. Ya dig?
Y'all forgot about chili cheese fries, and we love hot and spicy foods
I'm from Michigan, what the heck is pannukkakku? Why didn't you have Better Made potato chips?
We also have great middle eastern food from the Arab capital of the US: Dearborn. No fudge? No Vernors? No Bettermade? No IPA? No kogel hot dogs? No apples? Beets? Michigan strawberries? No Cherry Republic? We do not put chunky chilli with beef hearts on our hot dogs. The last one was a stranger to me. You all should be ashamed of this video. Ask Michiganders what you should be trying next time. Did you even do research?
And Jiffy! And Kellogg!
Superman Ice Cream!!!
Superman ice cream is a Michigan thing also by the way, who knew. And technically we have the second most diverse agriculture behind only California so suck it.
Those chili dogs looked sketchy! I've lived in Michigan my whole life and they've always looked more appealing than that. :) Next time you should add blue moon ice cream, michigan blueberries, and traverse city cherries!
They should have Midwesterners taste weird West Coast foods and see the reaction
When are you guys going to do an Illinois or Chicago taste test...I'm from IL and would love to see you guys eat what we eat...lol. By the way it does not snow 24/7 in Michigan so you can actually grow things in Michigan.
You guys forgot about Better Made chips, Vernor's, and that coney looked suspiciously like a chili dog.
FAYGO
FAYYYGOOO
FAAAAAAYYYYGGGOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
faygo
YAY THERE WAS PASTIES INCLUDED IN HERE!!😆😆
I'm from Michigan and I've only ever had a Coney Dog and a Pasty
I never seen that first snack and I'm from Michigan
YOU DIDNT GIVE THE PASTIES KETUP
aware of typo
The word pretentious comes to mind.
They've never tasted Faygo brand soft drinks before?! You people living under a rock or something?
I live in Michigan and have never heard of pannukakku! Ditto on the Vernors and craft beers. Also Michigan deep-dish pizza.
In Michigan my whole life and only ate a chili dog and faygo off this list.
I have lived in Michigan my entire life and have no idea what that last one/dessert was. haha
Thumbs up if you are from the ann arbor area!!!
bigl4085 and if you know how to say Ypsilanti correctly
Manny and Adam rock! They so need their own show! :D
I've lived in 4 tourist towns in Michigan my whole life. I've had the Swedish pancakes, which are smaller and more tender than reg pancakes. I'll have to go to the UP and try that Finnish style pancakes now. Pasties need gravy, Vernor's Ginger Ale is the bomb, and GIBBY'S FRIES YUM, nuf said! With Love from Traverse City!

The girl who giggles all the time made the video. I love her. She made me laugh all the way through.
Pasties ftw! Any time I'm in the UP I must stop and load up on pasties.
The party store down the street from me has Pasties from the UP that he gets fresh. I am in Metro Detroit.
Mike Soto "fresh"
I laughed so hard at this, for some reason. And now you guys need to do a "wisconsin taste test" because why wouldn't you wanna try beer cheese soup? 😋🍻

They should try Kenticky food. Hot brown, bourbon balls, KFC, johnny cakes, spoonbread, mutton bbq, Mingua beef jerky, Ale-8, and mint juleps.
Even people from Kentucky don't like KFC, and I'm one of them.
They should do one where these people eat Greek food, like grilled octopus!
I like to watch the two guys
You're missing a few staples, including Vernors, Black Label, fudge, and cheese.
They did do Vernor's recently
I for one would like to invite Adam and Manny to dinner. We'd go to the Pixie for coneys made with Kogels.
I have lived in Michigan my whole life and have never had any of these things. Being a vegetarian is part of it, but I just don't really hear about any of these in Grand Rapids. We do have a coney shop, but no one really talks about it too much. Everyone is all about Yesterdog, which has a really weird veggie dog that I don't care for.
I'm live Michigan and the only thing I've heard/seen of is Faygo. Lol
stuffed quohogs, hot weiners (all the way), lobster rolls, coffee milk, clam cakes and clam chowder, dels lemonade, stuffed cherry peppers....its real life fun and delicious and its everything.
You'd only know what a pasty is if you lived Up north near Mackinac and the Upper Peninusla.
Michigan FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD
to bad you didn't do a coney taste test because Coney's are serious business in Michigan. being from the Flint area Angelo's flint style is of course the best but then there are multiple Detroit styles. Maybe an idea for a new video have californians decide?
Ok I have only heard of the Cony dog I used to eat them at dog'n suds. Seriously though how can you have a Michigan food taste test without Verners Ginger ale?
Oh my god, I'm so glad pasties was the first thing! But they should have gave them some ketchup with it!!! LOL
I like Maggie (the woman with the flower shirt)! She seems fun!
Pasties actually are from Wisconsin, check the history of Mineral Point, Wisconsin
Try Illinois food! Chicago style hotdogs, Italian beef, deep dish pizza from Lou malnatis, garretts popcorn!!!
What no Mackinaw Island Fudge?!!! Manny & Adam were soo cheated I have to say they were complete Foodies... And not enough gravy in the Pasties They were a bit dry. Beef Heart Chili... Venison Heart would be correct Yet I understand that particular ingredient would have been a bit hard to obtain in California. Malt vinegar on French Fries then dip them in Mayonnaise. That is soo damn good your Cardiologist will have the heart attack
Born and raised in Michigan, is pannukakku a Michigan food? Never heard of it.
Northern Michigan
Pasties and Pannukaku is a northern Michigan thing but celebrated by Traditional Michiganders, Coney Dog, faygo are very much lower right side of Michigan thing. Grand Rapids, well not sure what it contributes in the food category, perhaps bland mash potatoes. Lot of Missing Michigan Staple foods missing from this video.
I've never heard of pasties or that pie, then felt like I failed as a Michigander..until I read the comments.
I live in Lansing part of Michigan
im from michigan and ive never heard of these foods
No vernors?!
And you need to try Faygo cotton candy
I'm from Minnesota and we have pasties
I live in Michigan
The bigger red head girl is hilarious
i'm from michigan and have lived here my whole life. i'd never had heard of a pastie until i went on some website and someone mentioned them..
"My religion is processed carbohydrates, and this is Jesus."
That guy is the most eloquent junk food junkie I've ever seen. ;P
FUCK YEAH I LOVE CONEY DOGS BECAUSE IM A MICHIGANER!!!!!
People really do think we live in the tundra... It's so funny. And yes we do put cheese on our coney.
I have never eaten a pastie in michigan and I live here.
They didn't try Vernors. Whether you like it or not (which I don't understand how anyone could not), everyone knows what Vernors is. I've living here 40 years, and I've never heard of pannukakku.
I sorta have a mancrush on Adam.
