The Cozy Dog Drive-In restaurant on 2935 South Sixth Street,Springfield is a shrine to Route 66 and to itself, packed withmementoes, clippings, and old signs, as well as kitsch Mother Roadsouvenirs for sell.

The Cozy Dog Drive-In claims to be the first place to serve this highly calorific snack, the Cozy Dog, a deep fried corn dog on a stick, which was invented during the World War II by the owner, Ed Waldmire, when he was in the Air Force stationed in Texas.
