A short tour around the Cozy Dog Drive-In, Springfield, IL.

The restaurant is a shrine to Route 66 and to itself, packed with mementos, clippings, and old signs, as well as with Mother Road souvenirs for sale. The "corn dog on a stick" was invented during World War II by Ed Waldmire when he was in the Air Force stationed in Texas. Cozy Dogs were officially launched at the Lake Springfield Beach House in 1946, and a stand was opened on Ash and MacArthur. The Cozy Dog Drive-In is now situated where the old Abe Lincoln Motel used to be.

We stopped off here during our three week tour of Route 66.

I plan on putting up over a 100 short videos from this trip so please subscribe to my channel.
