    Story time, back in day on family trip to Door County we stopped at A&W in Sheboygan. It was 100 degrees at least, 7 in the ‘71 Chrysler station wagon. Dad ordered hamburgers and Frosted root beer for the car. When delivering root beer girl proceeded to flip entire tray on my Dad mugs and all. He was drenched in sticky root beer for next 2 hours. Needless to say we got free meal and two extra gallons of root beer. Dad said saving Grace was he was really hot from driving and cooled him off. I’ll say. Dad was a champ. From then on every trip Dad still stopped at same A&W so we could relive story. Miss you Dad!

    amazing how something so simple as a cold root beer and ice cream makes someone so happy. they should pass them out at the court house in New YORK today to everyone and make all this wasted anger and hate go away. jealous of those Chicago style dogs and crinkle cut fries, they do not have such around me ( North of BOSTON). hope all is well and that you and your family and friends have a Happy Easter.

    Great video. You and Aly make a great team. This video really brought me back to my teens as I used to work at a Root Beer and Hot Dog stand (Stewart's Root Beer). It was just Reds's - we offered limited counter seating but mostly car service with the trays hung on car windows. Root Beer served in frozen mugs and dogs/burges/fries, etc..

    Nice video. Aly saying if she never had another Chicago Dog it would not make her unhappy. How sad. You folks live in Chicago now. Can she be arrested for not having an allegiance to the "Chicago Dog"? What is surprising to me is you were in Michigan and Sean saying this was the best Chicago Dog he has had. WoW. Doesn't say much for Chicago where you live. A Chicago Dog is very specific. Vienna Beef dog with the toppings on a Poppy Seed bun. The only variation I see is in how is the Vienna Beef dog is cooked. Grilled, Steamed, Boiled, pan fried. A Chicago Dog at 1 place cooked the same at another shop should not be very different in quality. Very specific ingredients with only the cooking of the dog being different.
    As far as best drive in food, I probably would have to say A&W Pappa Burger. We had a couple of other Drive Ins but did not frequent them often. At 12 - 13, I could drive but did not have a license or a car so I could not go where I wanted.
