The Sunday Lou’s Drive-In Palate Cleanser: Week Number Three
Here we are at Lou’s Drive-In on a sunny day in May!
We’ll head over to the front window and place this week’s order.
One man stands between us and this week’s lunch from Lou’s Drive-In!
Izzy took this week’s order and Jamie came over and said hi and told me that she follows the MBIP blog, which I always love to hear. They’re both looking pretty inside of the Lou’s island and I appreciate them posing for the MBIP camera!
There’s Izzy ringing up the order and now we’ll take a few obligatory Lou’s Drive-In photos while the meal is being prepared.
There’s people dining at the picnic tables and that sign is a hint of what’s going to be in today’s Lou’s lunch!
The Lou’s Drive-In sign is now pointing towards…

The MBIP World Headquarters Dining Area
Okay, we back in the MBIP World Headquarters Dining Area with this week’s palate cleanser from Lou’s Drive-In. Let’s plate the food and see what this week’s order consists of.
This week we got a chocolate milkshake, an order of cheese fries and a bacon cheeseburger. Let’s dig in and start this week’s palate cleansing from the daily bar crawl!
The chocolate milkshake was thick, creamy rich and very tasty. An excellent milkshake and we’re off to a fabulous start!
Next up is an order of the cheese fries. There’s a generous amount of fries and a little tub of melted cheese sauce. Let’s try them out!
As I mentioned in the first week’s post, I love the French fries at Lou’s, they’re crispy and seasoned nicely. The cheese sauce is creamy and adds a nice rich flavor to the fries and these are my favorite side dish so far!
Now it’s time to sample the main course: The bacon cheeseburger.
I got it with mustard, onion and there’s the bacon in a little circle in the middle of the burger, which is a little weird! But hey, let’s dig in and see how this burger tastes.
The bun is toasted and bakery fresh, so they get points for that, but the burger is okay, but a little bland and I don’t even taste the bacon. It’s not bad, but it’s not the best burger I’ve ever had.

The Menu
Some more items have been crossed off and there’s just one more side order to try out next week!
——
The Ratings
The bacon cheeseburger gets a third place rating but the cheese fries and the chocolate milkshake take the first place in their respective categories. As Meat Loaf once sang, “Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad.”

The Suggested Lou’s Drive-In Meal
Right now, from the food I’ve sampled at Lou’s Drive-In, my suggestion for the best meal would be: A chocolate milkshake, a side order of cheese fries and a chili-cheese dog. This could change next week, so stay tuned!
