Dinner And A Movie | Flo's Soup du Jour, Dumb and Dumber

While we can't currently enjoy the pleasures associated with a cross country trek to the mountains, that doesn't mean we can't relive one of the best road trips in the history of mankind. Of course we're talking about Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunn's journey from Providence, Rhode Island to Aspen, Colorado in the 1994 feature film, Dumb and Dumber.

And what better way to celebrate this comedy powerhouse than to honor one of its best on the road characters, the worn down, diner waitress known simply as "FLO." Since translating Soup du Jour for Lloyd as the "Soup of the Day," we've pined to find out just what Flo's trademark soup actually tastes like. After countless hours scouring social media for the elusive waitress, we finally got in touch with her and asked the question we've all wanted answered: what exactly was the soup of the day, that day... FLO?

We're proud to reveal that we've got the recipe and digging into a bowl of Flo's Soup du Jour is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Just remember to toss salt over your shoulder if you spill the shaker.
