\"Jubelts<\/a>
Pony “Horseshoe” Plate<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Dating from 1922, Jubelts<\/a> is arguably the oldest surviving restaurant on the original US Route 66 segment in Illinois.\u00a0 It’s about halfway between Chicago and St. Louis.<\/p>\n

Functionally a full bakery with attached restaurant, the eatery is open to serve delights from all three meal dayparts.<\/p>\n

It was late when I rolled in, and I was really looking for a motel to crash in, but when the lightbulb went off that this place was what I remembered it to be, I had to try it.<\/p>\n

Although faced with a very lengthy menu<\/a>,\u00a0 as well as a full page of specials<\/a>, when I’m in central Illinois, there’s really no choice for me but to get a “Horseshoe” – a plate unique to the area that many say originated in the Springfield area.<\/p>\n

A “shoe” is two pieces of toast, with your choice of protein on top (burger, ham, pork, bacon, chicken) topped with fries, and then cheese sauce or sausage gravy. Throw in a couple of fried eggs in the middle there, if you’re inclined.<\/p>\n

The “pony shoe” is a downsized version, and that was just fine for me; i chose another regional speciality, the fried pork tenderloin as my protein.\u00a0 A tenderloin in these parts (and Indiana, and Iowa) is a lean piece of pork hammered very think, battered, deep fried, usually served between a terribly inadequately-sized bun.<\/p>\n

In this case, it was in the middle of my pony.\u00a0 Opted for cheese sauce, probably gravy would have been better.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, if you’re getting your kicks on Route 66, plan your day’s drive to hit Jubelt’s. Good grub.\u00a0\u00a0Jubelts Restaurant Review Route 66<\/p>\n
