Heading EAST from the Americana
1. Dog Haus 1302 E Route 66 Flagstaff, AZ 86001-Most people think the Eagles hit “Take it Easy” was inspired by songwriter Jackson Brown’s experience on a corner in Winslow, Arizona, Well, here’ s the skinny: according to an interview with local entertainment producer Matthew Ziegler, “The image of that girl driving a truck was an image that came from east Flag(staff). … It wasn’t really a flatbed Ford. It was a Toyota truck, and it was pulling out of Weinerschnitzel.” The drive-thru has since changed its name to Dog Haus, and is well-known for the dogs and breakfast burritos.
2. Miz Zip’s 2924 E Rt 66 Flagstaff, AZ 86004 Miz Zip's is a Flagstaff landmark that has withstood more than 50 years of change. Joe and Lila Lockhard, with her sons, Howard, Bob Leonard, and Bob's wife, Norma, purchased a motel, service station and Trixie's Diner in 1942. They wanted a name with more zip for the café and settled on the name Miz Zip's.
A beloved local diner, the pies are as great as ever.
