The Sandhills Curiosity Shop in Erick, Okla., was one of the first stops for the Pixar and Disney road trips. Houser has sold the Midpoint Cafe since her brush with fame, but the new owner still serves the same food (including the famous pies).
Former cafe owner Fran Houser was the inspiration for the Flo character in the movie and her signature Ugly Crust Pies can be found on the menu of the Cars Land carhop. Both diners serve American comfort food - chicken fried steaks, turkey pot pies, patty melts and meatloaf - to hungry travelers.īut if you’re searching for the true spirit and personality of Flo’s, look no further than the Midpoint Cafe located midway between Chicago and Los Angeles in Adrian, Texas.
Much of the chrome and stainless steel Streamline Moderne decor of Flo’s V8 Cafe (and even the 1950s-inspired waitresses uniforms) can be traced back to the 5 & Diner in Tulsa, Okla., and the 66 Diner in Albuquerque, N.M. Designed to look like a Ford V-8 engine with architectural elements recalling a circular air filter, spark plugs and pistons, the whimsical quick-service restaurant in Cars Land owes its DNA to a number of diners on the Mother Road.
