This Kentucky Drive-In Shows Brand-New Movies For Less Than A Single Streaming Rental

First-run Hollywood movies, a burger topping bar, and blow-up slides for the kids, all at one Kentucky drive-in. That combination alone made me sit up a little straighter. The concession stand here gets talked about as much as the screen. Pizza, pulled pork sandwiches, milkshakes, and even funnel cake fries share the menu.
