By Sarah Jenkins
The popularity of Peppermint Twist proves that diners still seek out tactile, unhurried roadside hospitality. Highway 12 offers faster national chain alternatives, yet hundreds of travelers intentionally pull off the road each summer afternoon into Delano's pink parking stalls. They come for the tactile snap of real carhop trays, the thick chill of a handcrafted malt, and an environment that celebrates simple community pleasures. In the heart of Wright County, this roadside gem keeps the authentic spirit of mid-century Minnesota summer alive, one shake at a time.
