    I have tried to enter the Kogel contest before Aug. 8th, and the site they said to
    write to isn't there…this if the "fire up
    your grill" contest, and I'd like info if
    you have any…the address they show is
    contest@kogelmeats.com and this doesn't work.
    Thanks for your time… Mari

    Nila,
    Did you try contacting Kogel's?
    I'm not sure why you'd think we have Kogel's baseball caps in stock.

    Andrea,
    Lower you voice, you'll wake the baby.
    Have you tried contacting Kogel Meats in Flint Michigan.
    I just tried Googling them for you, but apparently they haven't joined the 21st century yet and have no website.
    You could try calling information for Flint, Michigan.
    I'm pretty sure they have a phone.
    Good Luck.

    Scott

    OK Andrea,
    I tried Googling again and instead of Kogel Meats I tried Kogels Meats…..BINGO!
    Looks like they'll send you everything.

    No Kogel baseball caps though.

    Does anyone know if Kogel Vienna hot dogs are available in the Venice/Sarasota, Florida area?

    For all you former Michiganders out there who have moved away from Michigan, you are not going to find Koegels meat products anywhere but here in Flint so try the Koegel Website and order what you are missing.

    born and raised Flintoids, having to move to chicago area due to the econamical crunch. we became homesick at the first sign of no neon Koegel sign.knowing that chicagoains beleive everthing is better in chicago. whatever!! and been raised on koegel meats.
    we decided to make the trip to Serve the Curve. and fill the freezer. well worth it. and now we have found we can order online and get our fix.
    truly nothing can compare to a Koegel Vienna

    thanks for keeping it FLINT….Amber & Mike
