Roadfood Adventures: Route 66 Illinois
Road trip on Route 66
Illinois Route 66 is a highway rich with crazy attractions, unique museums, America’s heartland history, and colorful odes to the joy of exploring the country on four wheels. Food along the way is a beckoning banquet of hometown, square-meals diners and friendly taverns with personality galore. Essential eats include Smashed Crispyburgers, Cozy Dogs (the original — and best — corn dog) and Springfield’s unique kitchen-sink meal, known as a horseshoe.
Dipped in batter and deep-fried, the Cozy Dog has vivid crunch and succulence. It's the place your appetite will find kicks on Route 66.
D'Arcy's Pint is a family-friendly pub specializing in the unique horseshoe sandwich -- a huge kitchen-sink meal unique to downstate Illinois.
Green Gables is a middle-of-nowhere tavern / grocery store / restaurant serving central Illinois' scrumptious smashed crispyburger.
