Flint Fans, Get Ready — Koegel’s Just Hinted Its Coney Sauce Is Almost Here

Flint-style coney sauce has officially been saved from extinction — thanks to Koegel’s. The beloved local favorite is making a comeback, with the Flint company teasing that its new coney topping has just finished its first production run.

Abbott’s Meats Closure Threatened Flint Coney Tradition

When Abbott’s Meats announced it would be closing its doors, many feared the city’s signature topping would vanish for good. For decades, Abbott’s supplied the finely ground beef heart mixture that gave Flint coneys their unmistakable flavor. But Koegel’s — a fellow Flint icon — stepped in this summer, promising to bring the classic taste back with its own authentic-style coney sauce.

Fans Buzz Over First Production Run

Flint coney fans are once again buzzing after a recent cheeky Facebook post from Koegel's: “The first run is rolling off the production lines! Stay tuned for where to find it in store!” The hometown favorite isn’t giving away all the details yet, but it’s clear the wait is nearly over.

The cryptic post included a tempting glimpse of a 13-oz. tube of the iconic sauce, leaving fans eager for the next update.

As for when it will hit Meijer, Kroger, or other local stores? Koegel’s isn’t saying — but if the first run is any indication, it shouldn’t be long before Flint coney fans can grab a tube for themselves.
