Buy 'Em By The Sack!

The focus of Saturday's nine hour drive from Wayne's house to Kansas City, MO was all about the burger. I left Colorado and drove through the farmlands of Kansas towards the city of Salina... home to The Cozy Inn. I love places with a sense of history... a glimpse of the past. The Cozy Inn is just such a place. The restaurant still has the same six porcelain bar stools, counter, and wood cupboards that were installed in 1922. They are famous for serving "sliders". For the criminally uninitiated, a "slider" is a bite sized burger just a bit larger than a half dollar coin. They may be small but their flavor is big. I savored eight of them and was a better man for it. Their slogan is "Buy 'Em By The Sack!"... so I did. There was still about three hours before my arrival in Kansas City and I needed something to nibble on while I drove.



The black and white photo was taken at The Cozy Inn in 1940... pretty cool!
