Some of them were from out of town and didn’t even know what a Michigan was, but everyone was grateful. (There was no onion option for these because that’s just too many onions to chop.) Then they got in the car and delivered Michigans all up and down the road to the officers who were stationed in their area.
They set up an assembly line where one person put the hot dog in the bun, one ladled on the sauce, and one wrapped it up in waxed paper and put it in the box. As a result, they found themselves trapped inside occasionally when police searchers told them the search was too close to their home for the yard to be safe.
** When the real-life manhunt was going on, one of my friends and her daughter were living relatively close to the prison, at the epicenter of the manhunt. Clare & Carl’s is a Michigan stand that looks like it’s about to crumble into the earth but keeps hanging in there, and it’s where you should get your Michigan if you ever visit here when it’s warm enough out for them to be open. I swiped this photo from the Clare & Carl’s Facebook page. If you ask for the onions buried, they’ll put them on before the sauce. You can have Michigans “with” or “without” and that refers to onions. It’s a hot dog with a specially simmered meat sauce, the original and best recipe for which is a claim staked by at least six different local families I know. If you live in Northern NY, you already know what a Michigan is and you can skip to the paragraph with the **.Įverybody else… Where I live, Michigan is not just a state it’s a regional food specialty that looks like a chili dog, but people here will quickly correct you if you call it that. Operation MichiganĪs I rewrote BREAKOUT from a narrative with one character’s point of view into a novel-in-documents, one of the scenes I knew I wanted to include was “Operation Michigan.” Why a 23-day series? Because this book was inspired by the 2015 Clinton Correctional Facility prison break that led to a 23-day manhunt in June of 2015. It’s about a small-town prison break and manhunt that change the way three kids see their neighbors and the place they call home.
