CLASSIC DRIVE-IN FARE AT HOME By Susan Selasky
Detroit Free Press
J
uicy burgers topped with melted cheese, lettuce and tomato. Creamy milkshakes made with premium ice cream, fresh fruit and whole milk. Crispy french fries, with just the right sprinkle of salt. Those flavors take people back to a time when muscle cars ruled the road — and food was part of the fun. Most of the old drive-ins are long gone, but you can re-create those classic, carefree flavors at home. For a juicy burger, use a blend of 80-20 ground beef round or chuck. The secret to perfect fries? Soak once and fry twice. The key to onion rings (which we added to the mix because they taste so darn good)
