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

This is the first time it’s been raining outside during our Lou’s Drive-In stop. It’s not pouring, but sprinkling enough to where the crowd is light here at Lou’s Drive-In.

Let’s go over to the Lou’s island and place this week’s order.

Lainy was looking pretty on duty behind the counter. She took our order and now we wait under the roof of the island which is shielding us from the rain.

This is the first time that no one is seated at the tables due to the rain.

Okay, the food has been delivered and the Lou’s sign is pointing us back to MBIP World Headquarters.

There’s the bag of food and this week’s drink. Let’s unpack it and see what we have this week.

Here’s this week’s Lou’s meal: A chocolate malt drink, chicken nuggets with BBQ sauce and a breaded chicken filet sandwich.

This week’s drink is a chocolate malt and I have to confess: I’ve never had a chocolate malt and this was absolutely delicious. It’s real similar to a chocolate milkshake but the taste was a little sweeter, creamier and had a little more of a bold taste.

I got an order of the chicken nuggets with a cup of BBQ sauce.

The chicken nugget was tasty but the BBQ sauce was really tangy and tasty, it was a real taste treat!

On to the main course, the breaded chicken filet sandwich. I got it with mustard and onion and took a bite.

The bun was bakery fresh, toasted and the breaded chicken filet was good, but nothing out of this world. Then I had a brainstorm…

Wow, the BBQ sauce really took it up a notch and made it a very tasty sandwich! Another tasty meal from Lou’s Drive-In!

The Menu

Three more items have been crossed off as we work our way down the Lou’s menu.

The Ratings

I liked the breaded chicken filet but not as much as the previous sandwiches. Of course it’s better than the Boca burger. While they list the chicken nuggets under the meal section of the menu, I they they’re a side dish and have placed them in the number three spot in that section. The chocolate malt has taken the top spot of the Drinks/Ice Cream section.
