Driving along the historic Route 66 from The Grand Canyon to Las Vegas is a hungry journey. The epic road trip across the USA is a lovely experience of friendships and changing sceneries. Of course food is as necessary as ever, and in all my reading only one place came up as a must-visit.
Delgadillo's Snow Cap in the little town of Seligman is somewhat of an institution along the Route. I wouldn't necessarily say it is worth the 1.5hrs from The Grand Canyon nor the 3hrs from Vegas just for this, but if you are passing through then it will make your trip a happier one.
Setup in a mock petrol station, vehicles from the Cars movie line the back, an old jalopy sits in front, and the inside is decorated with a dizzying amount of memorabilia, business cards, stickers, number plates and just general crap.
Food options are limited to the wholesome and satisfying - burgers, hot dogs, fries, onion rings, burritos, tacos, shakes etc. Oink Cheeseburger, Chicken Taco, Sweet Potato Fries and Onion Rings all hit their intended mark without being spectacular, but certainly satisfying in an entertaining environment.
Seligman isn't that far away from The Grand Canyon, so ensure to leave adequate time from your last meal to maximise hunger.
Next time I would order any unhealthy concoction of food that celebrates the freedom of being on an American road trip along Route 66.
