#SundaySupper – Patty Melt, Hand Cut Fries, & a Shake
Growing up there was this old drive in my grandparents used to take me to that served patty melts and delicious food. I remember the green sign and the big bags of fries. Nothing like any other joint around. It was called Lucky Boy. My grandmother loved their pastrami sandwiches. My grandfather loved the burgers and fries. I remember the milkshakes.
Lucky Boy in South Gate
I want to give everyone a dish that would be reminiscent of a time I spent with my family for this #SundaySupper. So here is my version of a patty melt, hand cut fries, and a chocolate milkshake.
Ingredients
Instructions
Make hamburger patties square or round to your preference. In a frying pan, add one tablespoon olive oil and fry burgers until cooked to desired wellness. Pull out patties and butter the bread. Toast bread with cheeses and add the meat. Serve with gooey cheesiness!
Wash potatoes and cut in half and then in to long strips. Heat oil to medium heat and fry potatoes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and then salt and pepper to taste. A small amount of cinnamon, paprika, sugar, salt, and pepper makes a wonderful seasoning to the frie.
In a blender, add three scoops of chocolate ice cream and 1/2 cup of milk. Blend for 1 minute on high. Add three squeezes of chocolate syrup and blend for 30 seconds. Serve with whipping topping and a cherry or plain jane.

To this day, this IS one of my favorite meals! I order it pretty much every time we go to our local throwback diner! My mouth is watering.

I had a patty melt for the first time a few years ago and I was in love. I need to make them at home sometime.
Lane @ Supper for a Steal recently posted..Nana’s Marinated Roast Beef | Retro #SundaySupper
My Mom owned several restaurants while I was a kid and this was alway a favorite with her patrons. I love the combination of Rye, cheese, onions and ground beef. Ohh la la, this is a winner!

Now THIS is a classic!!! I’d even be happy with just the chocolate shake and the hand cut fries to dip into it…mmmm
Katie recently posted..She Devils: Beet Pickled Deviled Eggs for #SundaySupper
One of my favs to get at the diner! Great choice!
YUMMY…nothing better than a burger, fries, and shake! It’s a total retro classic…we used to go to litle drive-ins with carhops too. Sonic’s the closest thing to it for us today!
Nothing says retro more than a patty melt, fries, and shake. Drooling!

That sounds sooo good!

I wish I could just reach through the screen and grab a bite! Whenever I’m at a diner, I order a patty melt. I guess it’s my perfect burger!
Anne @ Webicurean recently posted..Old-School Boozy Rum Cake #SundaySupper
My mom didn’t drive so I never got to go to the drive in unless we went with another family. But I really don’t think we ever did. I know I went as a teen with my friends. Hey the drive through is making a come back!
We love a good burger with homemade fries! Yours is making my mouth water.

Mmmm – now THIS is a retro dinner! Totally takes me back to when I was a kid, and we would go to a place called the “Toot-N-Tell”

This is absolutely perfect for the retro theme! Love it!
Erin @ Dinners, Dishes and Desserts recently posted..Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon & Balsamic #SundaySupper
Now THIS is a retro meal. Perfect. This is one of those meals I love to eat but know the grease factor is super high. I’m sure your version is much better then a restaurants-now I’m craving fries dipped in a shake!
Hezzi-D recently posted..Porcupine Meatballs #SundaySupper
Wow, you probably did the best retro meal of all! This is just what I envision when I think retro. Wonderful!
Paula recently posted..Chicken Maryland with Corn Red Pepper Pudding and Fried Bananas #SundaySupper
Dishes from the local drive-in. That is retro! I wish I would have thought of this.

Is this the same Lucky Boy in Pasadena next to the Trader Joe’s on Arroyo Parkway? If so, I’ve seen it many times but have never stopped. Will definitely have to try and I love how you made the full retro meal here.
Chris Baccus recently posted..Jägerschnitzel for #SundaySupper
This picture is of the old one in South Gate but I hear there is a Lucky Boy in Pasadena now. If it is you should try it! It looks the same with the fries and such from the website. The old one in South Gate was replaced with a McDonald’s.
What a classic combination, and what a beautiful and inviting photo. Kudos!
Alaiyo Kiasi recently posted..Creamed Chipped Salmon Jerky on Toast for #SundaySupper #RetroRecipes
This is absolutely fantastic! I totally want to dig in right now, strap on some roller skates and maybe head over to the drive-in movie (although, the only thing I really ever did was roller skate!)

Yum! This is one of my favourite meals ever! There was this really old school diner in my neighbourhood that had been around forever. It was a Vancouver institution famous for its burgers. Sadly it closed down a few years ago so I’ll just have to make these myself with your recipes.

Patty melts are one of my favs that I never remember to make. I think I may have to make one soon! YUM!

What a cute little drive in. I love that you served your dish on a plastic basket. So retro and your dish looks amazing! I just want to dig into in face first.
Sarah recently posted..Retro recipes {Steak Diane} #SundaySupper
The plastic baskets I bought for my son’s 16th almost two years ago. I have 40 of them in black and red. They are fabulous for parties for burgers, sandwiches, sliders, and anything similar. We even use them for weeknight dinners
Great photo and I love the red basket! Nice touch! I love a good patty melt and those fries look awesome!

What a great looking meal. Totally indulgent but delicious – a meal meant to be enjoyed and to forget about the calorie count!!
