In Cars Land, halfway along Route 66 through Radiator Springs, the Cozy Cone Motel serves up unusual and terrific food, all served in cones of one sort or another.
This is one of our favorites, the Chili "Cone" Queso. Yes, it's chili in a bread cone topped with Fritos and cheese. It's spicy, brilliant and delicious. No, you can't have it, this one's mine.
There are no burgers, fries or hot dogs in Cars Land. Everything about the place engages the imagination and pulls the rug out from under the commonplace, and that includes the dining. Now, what drink should we get to go along with this? How about Pear Soda? Apple Freeze? Wild Grape Tonic?
Strange but true; some of the best take-out food in California is being cooked up inside giant orange traffic cones. Long live Cars Land!
When I was 16 I worked at the A&W Drive Inn and they had a "chili cone". The cone was made of some sort of corn meal and whatever else. Oh my gosh was it good. Does this "cone" have corn meal in it?
