The Sunday Lou’s Drive-In Palate Cleanser - Some Lou’s Links To Posts From The Past

by MBIP


I usually go to Lou’s on Friday afternoon for this Sunday post of eating Lou’s menu. However this week when I got there…

The parking lot was empty and the umbrellas at the tables weren’t open.

I went up to the Lou’s island and sure as shit on a shingle, they were closed.

There’s the bumper of the MBIP Mobile, the only car in this lonely lot. I decided to go home and check out their facecrack page to see if there was a notice as to what’s going on here…

Well, shit. They’re closed until today and that’s too late to put this post together. We’ll have to wait until next week to continue eating the Lou’s Drive-In menu, so until then, here’s some links to posts of Lou’s Drive-In meals from the past.

Okay, we’ll be back next week to finish eating the entire Lou’s Drive-In menu! Here’s where we stand so far.

——

The Menu

I dropped the ice cream cone off of the menu because it’s not a meal item, so we’re left with the Chili-Cheese Tamale and the Corn Dog next week to finish up the entire Lou’s Drive-In menu! Hopefully they’ll be open!

——

The Ratings

No change in the ratings since we didn’t order any food this week.

——

The Lou’s Drive-In Suggested Meal

The suggested meal remains the same: A Vanilla Malt, Chili-Cheese Fries and a Chili-Cheese Dog.
