And while driving back, I was starving so I stopped the local drive-in: Swensons Drive-In.
"It's a "regional fast food restaurantchain with locations throughout Greater Akron and Greater Columbus, Ohio. Swensons' signature hamburger is the Galley Boy, a double cheeseburger prepared using two sauces,[1][2] and the restaurant also purveys 18 different milk shakes" (wikipedia)"
After I pulled into a space, a server ran out and put a card on my car to claim me. And I looked over the menu. I ordered the Galley Boy, as well as a grape milkshake (because I've never seen a grape milkshake before?!) and potato teezers.
Initially, I said I'd be staying there to eat so they brought a tray to my car. But then I was annoying because the sun moved and was shining directly into my face so I took my stuff to go.
The burger was topped with an olive, which was fun. And, it really is a damn good burger. It seems like one of the secret sauces is a BBQ, and the other is a mayo or tartar. But all combined, it's a helluva burger.
Grape milkshakes are delicious and should be everywhere.
And potato teezers are like a cheesy hashbrown with some mild jalapeno and all delicious.
Huntington is home to some really great restaurants, and some fun ones, too.
Hibachi Japanese Steakhouse made a name for itself locally when it advertised "all you can eat sushi." And, while this sounds like a dream, on this particular day, I didn't feel like completely gorging myself.
Instead, I opted for an order of pad thai and just one sushi roll.
First, the pad thai. It was in this sweet & sour sauce, which made it much sweeter than usual.
And, I went for the Christmas roll, which had shrimp tempura, crab, avocado, cream cheese, etc.
Both totally filling and tasty. And, they have a sushi counter and teppanyaki if you'd rather try those than the regular dining room. For me? Next time, it'll be the all you can eat sushi.
