One astute reader responded to yesterday’s Facebook lunch suggestion with one of his own.  Wes Holden suggested I check out Morrilton’s Blue Diamond Drive-In, and since I was headed that general direction I decided to take him up on it.

Good suggestion, Wes.

The menu contains a lot of what you might expect from a drive-in — lots of burgers, hot dogs, fries.  But it also contains things like Pat’s Patty Meltdown — a patty melt with a heaping pile of grilled onions instead of bread — and The Shaner, a club sandwich that apparently rivals The Stoby for its three meats, two cheeses, and all the fixings.  I went for the daily special and more… on the jump.
