We will update everyone at the end of the day. In the meantime, head in to get the last of your favorites!!!! We will still be hosting our 2nd annual Trunk-R-Treat on Sunday, October 29th from noon to 3. If you want to participate in handing out candy contact Sharyl.”
Eddie’s Drive-In Wraps Up On A Good Note
The 2023 season will go down as a success with new menu items like, “The Walking Taco.” to movie nights, and even got WCSX’s Screamin Scott to dust off his roller skates and become a car hop. ( complete with skirt). The “Screamin Burger,” also had another great year. The only sad part is now waiting until April of 2024 for the next Grand Opening Day.
This episode memory was a long time in the making as I waited all Winter and for the grand opening of the season to shoot this video with my sidekick Will Spurrier.
Eddie’s Drive-In owner Sharyl Collins’s idea was to have me on roller skates for an afternoon. Let’s film an episode of, Hey Screamin’ Try This! I came prepared with my Eddie’s Drive-in t-shirt and slacks. My worn-torn Riedell roller skates are the same skates I used in the 80s. The best part is after 3 hours of work I retired with a couple of Screamin Burgers for Will Spurrier and myself. My special thanks to Sharyl Collins and the staff on such a beautiful day. And be a part of Eddie’s Drive-In crew even for just a few fun hours. Enjoy Hey Screamin Try This Episode With Macomb County Famous Eddies Drive-In
The Cliff Note History Of Eddie’s Drive-In
The idea of Eddie’s is a ’50s car hop restaurant by the original Eddie & Mary Catherin in 1987. It’s a family place to take the kids for an ice cream treat. There are even real roller skating car hop waitresses who roll up to your window to take your order. Fast forward as Sharyl Collins took control in 2014 with some great surprises and themes set for this year’s season.
The menu is just what you remember a car hop would serve… hotdogs, corn dogs, fries, and a nice mug of root beer. Eddie’s signature dish is the “BIG Ed’s Burger “, 1/3 pound of ground round beef, lettuce, tomato, onion, and Eddie’s favorite sauce.
The “Screamin Burger,” Sharyl Collins, asked me to design a signature burger. It’s a 1/3 pound of ground round beef, lettuce, tomato, cheese, bacon, thick onion rings, and the famous Ed sauce with some Sriracha hot sauce. The “Screamin Burger” is a hit every season!
Menu favorites include homemade Eddie’s Pizza, Grilled Cajun or Lemon Salmon Filet, BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich, Old Fashioned Shakes and Malts, and an Old Fashioned Vernors Ice cream Cooler. Remind me to let Big Jim’s house know about Eddie’s Drive-In.
