"Venture west of Detroit to Jackson, where the Flint-style coney reigns supreme. Jackson Coney Island is believed to have been founded by two Greek immigrants from Detroit, before it was promptly sold the next year to two brothers from Macedonia Charlie and Atanas Christoff and George Todoroff. Charlie Christoff’s son and grandson, Van and Craig, would go on to run a competing restaurant across the street, Virginia’s Coney Island, which like American and Lafayette to the east, has spawned generations of rivalries among Jackson locals." - Serena Maria Daniels
