These stories and facts will tickle the taste buds and memories of Detroiters and Faygo lovers everywhere. The Faygo Book is a 2019 Michigan Notable Book. There WILL be a pop quiz.Joe Grimm wrote “The Faygo Book” after building up a tremendous thirst on the Wayne State University Press book “Coney Detroit,” written with Katherine Yung. Grimm, a lifelong Detroit area resident, is a Michigan State University journalism professor and worked 25 years at the Detroit Free Press. Grimm’s favorite Faygo flavor is Rock & Rye.
