The Sunday Lou’s Drive-In Palate Cleanser: Week Number Eight

Okay, it’s a steaming hot day here at Lou’s Drive-In and there’s more people here than I expected on this blistering day in July!

We’ll get in line and get ready to place our order for our eighth meal from Lou’s Drive-In.

Izzy was working behind the counter looking pretty as always!

Great to see her again and she took our order and now we wait and sweat in the hot summer temperatures out here.

It’s a full house here today and kudos to these people for braving the heat and coming to Lou’s for some drive-in treats.

Okay, we’ve got this week’s meal and the sign is pointed back to the air-conditioned comforts of…

The MBIP World Headquarters Dining Area

We’re back at The MBIP World Headquarters Dining Area with the AC on full blast and here’s this week’s Lou’s meal: A Vanilla Malt, Chicken Nuggets with Honey Mustard Sauce and a Grilled Chicken Filet Sandwich.

I loved last week’s Chocolate Malt, but this week I got the Vanilla Malt and it was even tastier than the Chocolate Malt. A sweet treat on a blazing hot summer afternoon!

This week we’re trying out the Chicken Nuggets with Honey Mustard Sauce. These were okay, but not quite as tasty as the zippy BBQ Sauce from last week.

You can also get the Chicken Nuggets with Ranch Sauce, but I’m not a fan of Ranch Sauce, so we’re not going to do that.

Now on to the main course: The Grilled Chicken Sandwich. I got it with mustard and onions and it’s served on a toasted Hoagie Roll.

It didn’t really have much flavor to it. It wasn’t bad, just kind of bland.

I took a cue from last week and added some of the Honey Mustard Sauce to the sandwich and it added a little more flavor, but it was still somewhat bland and not something I’d recommend.
