The Mother and Son team that own the Dairy King were very happy to talk to us about the history of their family and business, and even showed us some pictures of what their place looks like at night with all the neon! Awesome!

In Miami, Oklahoma, we passed by Waylan's Ku-Ku Hamburgers. Check out the Ku-Ku coming out of the front of the building! So cute!
