Historic Route 66
The Cozy Drive In, IL

The Cozy Drive In is the home of the one and only Cozy Dog, the original hot dog on a stick. Lunch at the classic Route 66 stop has become an entry on the to-do list of many Route 66 travelers. The tasty treat, invented by Ed Waldmire in 1946, is served in an authentic Route-66-style diner by members of the Waldmire Family. His son Bob is an internationally recognized artist whose work focuses on the history of Route 66. His artwork is displayed throughout the Drive In.
