Hot dogs and hot rods

I've written about the wonder known as the Orange Julep before here and am revisiting it now, in my mind's eye at the very least, as a way of escaping winter and researching similar wonders or roadside attractions in other areas (let's just say, randomly, between here and Florida).

Tots randomly.

But back to the Julep. Every Wednesday between May'ish and October'ish it plays host to more than just hot dogs on hot rod night, famous for its classic cars even more than its classic cheeseburgers.

From classic Chevrolet El Caminos and vintage Ford Falcons to old-time pickup trucks and more, hot rod night is the perfect opportunity to enjoy a balmy Montreal evening chowing down on classic fast-food fare while listening to Twilight Time and taking a nostalgic walk, or drive, on the wild side.

The bonus is all that travelling through time really works up an appetite. And then, just like that... craving satisfied. 

"Happy Days" indeed:

  
On a (once again, totally random) side note, I'm told there are a number of similar but unique tourist-friendly stops or roadside attractions on the route (I-95 South) between Montreal and Florida. I'd love to hear about them!

The Sunshine (or Orange) State is callin'... Just sayin'.

an oldie but a goodie
