Cozy Dog Drive-In ΓÇó The Cozy Drive-In is not only the place to find the world's tastiest hot dog on a stick, but is also home to the Route 66 & Cozy Dog Museum, located in the back room. The Cozy Dog was invented by Ed Waldmire, who passed away in 1993. The Cozy Drive-In has been located on Route 66 since the 40's. Today it is run by Buz (Ed's son) and Sue Waldmire. Buz's brother, Robert, has recently relocated to Hackberry, AZ, where he runs the International Bioregional Old Route 66 Visitor Center.
