Cook-Out Restaurant

Ashely goes for a quarter-pound steak-style burger with steak sauce, grilled onions, and American cheese and a Cheerwine late. "If I've had a few drinks, I invest in Zingo, a service that rides a scooter to you, folds the scooter up, puts it in the trunk of your car, and then drives you home," Ashley says. Most Zingo drivers are college kids willing to take a detour for a Cook-Out milk shake.
