by MBIP


Today is the closing day for Emo’s Dairy Mart for the year. That can only mean one thing: Sunday Steering Wheel Meal!

Off to Emo’s we go!

The Sunday Steering Wheel Meal - This Week: Emo’s Dairy Mart

Here’s a little advice about parking at Emo’s Dairy Mart: Don’t!

Their parking lot can be a mess and there’s no directional signs. I always park across the street in the Walgreens lot and just walk across the street…

And whoomp, there it is, Emo’s Dairy Mart.

Emo’s may be closing for the season today, but the creepy clown will be standing guard all year long.

We’ll get in line for our final Emo’s meal of the year and take one more upward glance at the creepy clown up there.

Closing time…

Okay, back to the MBIP Mobile and we have no air conditioning or fan on, as its a little chilly out there today.

The radio is tuned to 102.7 Super Hits and “I Want You To Want Me” by Cheap Trick has just started playing! Great song for this week’s Sunday Steering Wheel Meal!

It just started raining out there, so our timing was perfect!

The Sunday Steering Wheel Meal

Okay, time to attach the food tray to the steering wheel and get ready for this week’s meal!

We’ll transfer the food from the bag to the tray and we’re all set to begin this week’s Sunday Steering Wheel Meal.

The Drink

I got a caramel milkshake and it was a thick, sweet and creamy treat! We’re off to a fabulous start!

——

Course Number One: The Side Dish

I got an order of French fries for a side dish and they were thin, crispy and seasoned perfectly.

——

Course Number Two: The Main Dish

Time to unwrap this sandwich and see what’s inside…

I got a loose meat burger sandwich with melted cheese, onions and mustard. It looks fantastic, let’s dig in!

Wow, this was a delicious sandwich!

The meat is tender and tasty and the cheese, onions and mustard compliment it perfectly. Plus the bun is steamed and bakery fresh!

I was glad they gave me a fork to pick up the beef and cheese that fell out of the sandwich while eating it.

——

Course Number Three: The Dessert

I finished off the caramel milkshake for dessert.

This was a delicious last meal of 2026 at Emo’s Dairy Mart. They close after today, so stop on by for one last Emo’s treat of the year, if you so desire!

This week I remembered to get the shot from the rear-view-mirror. Okay, now, just like Chuck Berry, I’m gone like a cool breeze.

See you all tomorrow!
