Frozen Custard and Donuts

After leaving the park, we drove 66 back towards St. Louis.  I cannot be that close to Ted Drewes and not stop for a concrete.  Ted Drewes has been a Route 66 icon since 1929.

Each fall they bring back the Great Pumpkin Concrete.  A concrete is a very thick milkshake (Blizzard like) that the staff shows the thickness by handing it to you upside down.  The Great Pumpkin actually has a piece of Pumpkin pie in it.

Madeline from the State Park told us about a donut place just down from Ted Drewes, so we had to stop.  This place still hand cuts the donuts.  We were given a donut to sample.  It was very yummy.  We took a few to go.
