Now you can actually eat at Sonic. Tomorrow is the grand opening of the drive-in in Peabody, with Sonic starting regular hours (until 2 a.m.) on Thursday, Aug. 27. It's the first branch in New England.

What to have? An extra-long chili cheese Coney? Tots? Ocean Water (blue coconut syrup in Sprite -- sounds terrible)? Some crazy-flavor slush? Sonic claims to have more than 168,000 drink combinations, but this blog entry says the number is actually much greater.

I've never been. What are your favorite things to order?

The Recipe Box Project:

If you want to contribute a recipe to The Recipe Box Project, please write it below. Also tell us where you got it (package box, cookbook, mom, friend -- include the name). We're looking for the kinds of dishes that people grew up on, that were served at family suppers, that tell a story, that are typically New England, or that you brought with you from a far away place to New England. We will print one of the recipes in the Food section once a month. To ask any questions, write to Debra Samuels, who is overseeing this project, at recipebox@globe.com.
