M*A*S*H Quote of the Day–6/11/26

“If a man says he’s Christ, he might just become a better Christian. I mean, if I had a horse who was convinced he was Man O’ War, I don’t know that I’d want to set him straight, if you get my drift.” Colonel Sherman Potter, “Quo Vadis, Captain Chandler,” season four, episode nine

And the Sonic the Hedgehog Speed Cafe on Delmar:

It’s been a fun week!

Tasty Tuesday–Sonic the Hedgehog Speed Cafe

St. Louis has a really cool pop-up that’s going to be in town until June 28!

The Sonic the Hedgehog Speed Cafe opened in Chicago earlier this year, and I was really bummed because it was so close, but not close enough for us to get up there before it closed. You can imagine how excited we all were when they announced that they were going to be opening in Nudo House Delmar for a couple of months!

The interior design is really cool, especially the rings everywhere:

And the food was outstanding! I tried the “Buzz Bomber Brisket Sandwich,” which just debuted over the weekend. The brisket was fantastic, and let’s face, an eye-catching blue bun is a unique culinary experience!

The rest of the family tried a variety of things, including “Rogue’s Gold Heist Bites,” (gouda mac ‘n’ cheese balls), “Sonic the Hedgehog’s Classic Chili Dog,” and “E-123 Omega’s Red Hot Revenge,” (a St. Louis special of a Red Hot Riplets chicken sandwich). Everyone was very happy with their selections!

Turkey also tried the “Sonic Boom Lemonade”:

And we shared an order of “Chaorros” which came with a fudge miso dipping sauce:

This was a really cool experience…I’m so glad St. Louis got to play host to it! It still has a couple of weeks left, so there’s still time to visit, but you have to go fast before it’s gone!

Tasty Tuesday–Dining Down the Mother Road (At Home)–Part One

We’re having a Route 66 summer! We kicked off the centennial celebration last week with a dinner from The Route 66 Cookbook, a volume that has recipes made famous at restaurants from one end of the Mother Road to the other. The main course was the “Route 66 Pup,” a hot dog with chili, onions, mustard blend, and homemade jalapeño spread, all topped with French fries, inspired by the menu at Tail o’ The Pup near the end of the route in California

For dessert I made the “Docs S’mores Sundae” inspired by the one served at Docs Just Off 66, a location a little closer to home in Girard, IL.

Stay tuned as we try more recipes from The Route 66 Cookbook!
