US route 66 was named "the Mother Road" in Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck.

Ted Drewes is famous for Concretes - frozen custard "It's so thick you can turn it upside down and it won't fall out!"

The day we visited, there was a foreign film crew doing an interview with Ted Drewes himself!  He looked well over 90 and the staff at the custard stand said he retired several years ago.

Of course, we had to try some ๐Ÿ˜‹ very rich and creamy.

Here's the menu.  I had a Blue Note - an homage to the local hockey team.
