Looks like a Detroit Coney, but you need a little more onion and mustard.

I agree with you 100% David. We get out dogs shipped to us from a Polish meat packer in New Britain CT but that’s just because we like their recipe - any good GRILLED dog works!

Stopped at this little shack the other day on my delivery route. It’s right off the road at the end of a farmer’s driveway. The shack is just out of view on the right in the first picture.

It’s was kinda cool because there isn’t anybody there. It’s all self service and you can pay with a credit card.

Everything is homemade by the lady that operates the place. I bought a small tray of homemade cinnamon rolls. They were delicious!

I drive down that road anyway when I drive the North Route and I finally pulled over this time.

There were cookies, pies, and banana bread too among other things.

Rick nice post
I have a roadside vegetable stand it is behind the house. It’s self service either swipe your card or cash. No change given it’s an air condition ed shed. No cookies pies or cinnamon rolls though. Think I would like that better.

That is pretty cool, Steve! My wife tells me that these self service stands are gaining popularity but this is the only one I have ever seen so far.

It’s been pretty hot here lately and it was hot the day I stopped there too. It was downright COLD inside that shed. It hit me as soon as I opened the door.

I hope yours is a lucrative business. I told the other drivers about it because we all rotate routes and all of them drive past this stand just like I do when they drive the North Route.

It was great to pull over and grab some homemade baked goods and get back on the road. Very convenient because I am often on a tight schedule and can’t venture too far off of the route.

Best of luck to you with your vegetable stand!

Sorry for the misunderstanding. My wife would thump me for the post.
I STOP AT A VEGETABLE STAND. It’s behind the the farm house not on the road.
It is not mine.
My grandparents had a roadside stand about 55-60 years ago. Self service, definitely not an air conditioned shed, no place to swipe a credit card. Put your cash in the #10 can nailed to the post.
Side note my Aunt told me part of the reason that the Schaffter Darleson grocery store went out of business, was because Grandpa gave credit to help people in the day. We sold the small farmet (Some Day Farm) after uncle Jack passed.
Sorry for my confusing post.

Went to the grand opening of a new bridge across the Mississippi at Chester, Il. today. The old bridge (1942) will be nothing more than a memory in a month or so. Rod Steiger chased down a fugitive on the old bridge for the filming of "In The Heat of the Night". In the background of the shot of the cranes you can see Menard Correctional Center. John Wayne Gacy was housed there before being sent up to Stateville for execution.
