I don't know why I read the title as "Chafe on the Route," I guess I know what I'm worried about this spring/summer.
But that place looks great! I love the history of the landmark with Jesse James and Cole Younger robbing it, and the food sounds good. I have always wanted to travel Route 66. Road Trip!

A "flapjack ribeye"??
If a flapjack is a pancake...I've seen blueberries in them...chocolate chips...even raisins...but never a ribeye! 
(Okay...I know I'm totally off base!)
But "chafe on the route" reminds me of my advocacy days...
My group was high-lighting an on-road bike route from Cape Ann (Massachusetts, north of Boston) to Cape Cod. The south-of-Boston route is currently marked as "Bike Route 1", or the Claire Saltonstall Bikeway. We wanted to finish the markings and make it a true "Cape to Cape" bike route.
So, we had t-shirts made up..."Cape to Cape"...but the font used made it look more like "Cafe to Cafe"....so we were forever joking that our goal was just to pedal from one cafe to another...eating our way through Massachusetts! Hah. (okay...back to work)2007 Seven ID8 - Bontrager InForm

on a similar note: when I was training for my first AIDS ride, which was called Ride for a Reason, we'd always meet for breakfast somewhere first ((and usually go for a beer/snacks after), so that we were soon joking about training for "WIDE" for a reason! Originally Posted by 7rider

My ex took my son on a road trip down route 66 in his corvette last summer. The little guy thought it was all very cool.

That's what I was thinking, but then the full distance (2,450 miles) was a bit daunting to me. Although a TE Tour de 66 would probably be awesome. Then we could all travel from cafe to cafe while avoiding chafing and write a brilliant book about it to re-coup the money it took to do the ride in the first place. Originally Posted by Trek420

I think I've finally stir crazy, the snow's got to melt soon, right? Right?
I think Rt. 66 runs through my family's teeny tiny town in New Mexcio. My Grandfather used to run a Phillips 66 gas station and hotel there.
