Cozy Dog Drive-In Springfield, Illinois

One last thing before we leave Springfield Illinois.  I MUST mention Cozy Dog Drive-In!

I feel comfortable in saying that if you make it to Springfield, you have to do all of the cool Lincoln things, AND you must have a meal at Cozy Dog.

Yes, this is a great novelty food place that is fun to visit just because of its history and decor- but it also has GREAT FOOD!

I think they put a little chili powder in their corn dogs, and man does it work!  Its not enough to burn or anything, but it really kicks the flavor in!  My wife doesn't like hot foods, but she liked the little touch added by the powder.  I totally want one NOW!

Cozy Dogs' founder claims that he started making them in the 40s in the Springfield area!

A ton of memorabilia relating to Route 66 and to the business hangs on the walls of the restaurant.

We love the Cozy Dog logo, which is very sweet.  It shows a boy hot dog and a girl hot dog hugging each other.  We had to buy just about everything sold inside showing the logo.
