Lou's is a fixture on the I-80 roadside. In my memories of family ski weekends, Lou's neon-lit sign was a milestone en route to the mountains. As we found out today, it has been an Auburn staple for 64 years.
Based on all of this, I was more interested in the stop than the snack when we pulled up to the restaurant. At 2:45 or so, the cavernous space was empty, so with our pick of tables we cozied up next to the fireplace.
We perused the menu, bypassing lunchtime classics like the Shrimp Louie salad and prime rib French dip sandwich for a plate of skinny French fries topped with bacon bits and melted gorgonzola. Healthy eating starts tomorrow, I guess!
those fries sound amazing!
