Unfortunately, Coney's aren't a big thing in the U.P. Up here, it's the whitefish, Walleye, and pasties that steel the show, and the Cuhdagi sausage. In my home town, there is nothing quite as glorious though as the pizza pastie. Thing 9 inch pizza, with your favorite fillings and sauce, folded into a half circle and baked to perfection. Calzones aren't the same thing. Empenada's aren't like a pizza pastie either. They are amazing, and I haven't seem them anywhere else. Everyone in Michigan should have the chance to eat them. But I guess they couldn't be considered a comfort food. They are too exciting as an eating experience to be comfortable.
