Friday, November 23, 2007 We are home in PA for Thanksgiving. I wish our drive to my parent's house took us past Erie. On our way back from Cleveland a few months ago, we were going through Erie where I noticed a sign for a Steak 'n Shake. It sounded good I persuaded Tina to stop. Apparently Steak 'n Shake was founded in Normal, Illinois in 1934. (I wish I could say I was from Normal, Illinois) The burgers were good, but what really blew me away was their shakes. I especially liked the Side-by-Side Shake. It's two flavors in one glass! Brilliant! I had dark chocolate shake and banana shake. By merely moving my straw from one side of the glass to the other I could switch flavors. Genius.

And my husband used to work at Steak & Shake! What a small world. :) By  J.Majerczyk, at 25/11/07 9:51 PM And I lived in Erie, PA (for a month heh). Small world indeed. By  Andrea, at 26/11/07 2:30 AM I live a half hour from Normal, Illinois and we have a Steak N' Shake about a mile from our house. Dangerous, indeed. Especially around Halloween when they come out with their seasonal Caramel Apple Shake. By  Amy, at 26/11/07 10:46 AM Oooh I love Steak & Shake. We went to one a few years ago near Orlando. They also sell Cinncinati Chili! Ani foodiechickie.com By  Anonymous, at 26/11/07 11:13 AM Erie is totally worth a weekend trip, there is some fun things to check out. Jelly Belly Store, Splash Lagoon, the beach, Station Dinner Theater, the zoo, the list really does go on. By  John, at 26/11/07 11:13 AM LOVE steak & shake! They are all over Saint Louis. Great chocolate shakes. By  Me, at 26/11/07 3:33 PM Another St. Louis person here, and I too love Steak and Shake. Glad you found it. I second the comment about the Caramel Apple shake, seriously good. By  happylaney, at 26/11/07 4:02 PM Their Strawberry Fruit & Frozen Yogurt Milkshakes are divine! By  cindy, at 26/11/07 5:03 PM I'm originally from St. Louis where Steak N Shake has been since I was a child. My dad lives in Vermont and a few years ago he made me bring a cooler of Steak N Shake double bacon cheeseburgers on the plane. I can't begin to tell you how disgusting they smelled after the trip...especially with a raging case of morning sickness. By  Abby, at 26/11/07 7:45 PM Hi Jenny, I went to one in Missouri. By  Anonymous, at 26/11/07 11:08 PM San Fran Melt at Steak and Shake with a vanilla shake is the best. But to me that is normal since we have them here in Springfield Missouri. But I drool over Wegmans, my husband over heard me talking to a friend from the east coast about Wegmans and he was all excited about a new store to go check out. He wasnt so excited when I told him it would take us over a day to drive there. Wegmans and Krystal, Costco and Ikea.. why cant we get you here!! By  Anonymous, at 27/11/07 12:25 AM It surprises me that you've never been to a Steak n Shake!! Their cheesefries are so good... oh and their Frisco melt... yum! By  Meredith, at 27/11/07 9:38 AM Oh man, I am so hungry for Steak and Shake now. I didn't see the Cinncinati Chili... which I love. Erie is sounding like a fun day trip. Jelly Bellys!!! By  ljc, at 27/11/07 10:30 AM We actually have a Steak & Shake here in Austin, Texas! I'll have to check it out. By  mandy, at 27/11/07 10:55 AM i love this post...here in the suburbs of chicago it's like going to mcdonald's. they seem to be everywhere! i might have to go there tomorrow for lunch... By  Kelly, at 28/11/07 4:41 PM steak + shake is one of the few reasons to be alive. right? right?! mmmmmmmmm... love it.
