It must have caught on, because it was very crowded and I had to wait in line for a seat...so I took some pictures while I waited. Here's the grill...
The counter seating area...
"Takhomasak"...this was an advertising campaign for awhile in which they translated "Take Home a Sack" into their own version which no one could pronounce correctly in their commercials.
Steak 'n Shake was formed in 1934 in Normal, Illinois, so it definitely has that '50s feel.
Here's the menu. Can you beat those prices, for cryin' out Pete's sake?? I don't think so. And this isn't fast food! This is a sit down and be served kind of place. Other than their Steakburgers, their claim to fame is their chili which also comes as a chili-mac with noodles. Sorry...didn't get any pictures of that.
They're also pretty famous for the shakes and malts. I haven't had a malt in years (gotta watch the waistline, you know), but my will powered weakened for this visit. OMG, it was wonderful. Too thick to sip through a straw...had to use a spoon.
Here's my burger. I've always loved their skinny little fries.
Well, they've finally put a Steak 'n Shake here...now they just need to add one of these...
Then I would be a happy camper.
So I was driving home and passed by this, and had to take a picture.
This is how happy I am that I don't have to shop at Lowe's anymore.
Not to mention not having to do this anymore...
So on a totally different note, we had our department picnic today so I was the photographer for the event. One of our professors is from China and his wife had a baby a year ago. She is adorable, and I thought I'd add this for a "cuteness" factor.
And these are her cute little toes. All together now... "Awwwwwww......"
