Steve’s take
Birthplace of the Cozy Dog — the original corn dog, invented here in 1946 by Ed Waldmire after he saw a sandwich shop in Oklahoma. The 1949 building on the original Route 66 alignment still serves the same recipe his great-grandkids make today. Two Cozy Dogs and a fountain soda is the order. Walls covered in vintage R66 memorabilia. 10 min off I-55 at Springfield.
