Cozy Drive In![]() Thanks to my co-worker Howard for the suggested Picture of the Day.
Howard brought up the Cozy Dog Drive In as a potential subject. Not letting any grass grow under my feet, I went and got the shot tonight. Thanks Howard! The hot dog, dipped in pancake batter and deep fried - we call it a Cozy Dog around here. Invented by a couple of guys with ideas during the mid-1940's. Ed Waldmire was one of those guys. He brought the "Crusty Cur" back to Springfield, Illinois and, at the urging of his wife, renamed the concoction the Cozy Dog. Cozy Dogs have been sold in Springfield, since 1946, still by members of the Waldmire family. I can't say I have a fondness for them, but they are historic, and part of a landmark along Route 66 in my home town. Try 'em sometime, you might like 'em! www.cozydogdrivein.com/index.html en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cozy_Dog_Drive_In penningphotography.com CommentsAbracaDebra
