#36 Egg Salad Sandwich

Crown Candy Kitchen in St. Louis!

It might look like the malt is the big focus here, but I got more of a thrill out of the egg salad sandwich than anything!  I've done the diner thing and I've done the malt thing, during my year of celebrating the fifties.  But I have not been to Crown Candy Kitchen in years and that is something worth celebrating!  CCK has been a St. Louis icon since 1913. In the fifties, teens came to share yummy treats like the "Lovers Delight". (See writing in mirror) But I am not a teen, so I went for something June Clever might have gone for if she and Ward had stopped in for a bite.  The best part of the whole outing, was thinking about my mom and knowing she used to come here in her youth.  Since there are only about 10 booths, there's a chance she once sat in my very spot!
