Delgadillo's Snow Cap Drive-In

Snow Cap: I was there just about a year ago. The Dead Chicken signs are still up and there's now an old car parked out front with a horrifyingly satanic Santa Claus dummy wearing tinsel and lights in the driver's seat. This one's definitely worth a stop for the photo ops and great shakes.

Delgadillo's Snow Cap Drive-In

On Historic Route 66, is a hamburger and malt place called Snow Cap. The signs on the roof advertise "dead chicken" and "cheeseburgers with cheese". If the crazy proprietor gives you his card, which reads "My Card", it also boasts "slightly used napkins". Out back there is an outhouse with a television and a sink. Christmas garland hangs from the trees and so does a plastic Godzilla and other nick nacks. Excellent malts. It's on Route 66 just off of the I-40 in Arizona, between Kingman and Flagstaff.

[Danforth France, 03/31/1997]

Original owner Juan Delgadillo started the Snow Cap in 1953. Juan would ask if you'd like cheese on your cheeseburger. Then he'd squirt red yarn from a ketchup bottle at you. He died on June 1, 2004.
