McEntire jumps in from behind the camera, prompting Linn to tell the fans that it's the sixth year they've participated in this tradition, although he later corrected himself, noting that it's actually their fifth year doing so.
Linn said of the meal, "Not only is it not that pricey, but it's the best food ever...It will be the greatest Valentine's dinner of all time."
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are so excited," McEntire said as the couple pulled up to the Sonic, with Linn adding, "I'm a little emotional," right before ordering their food.
In the caption, McEntire shared some more about the experience, writing, "Rex and I had a wonderful Sonic Valentine's Day Lunch a little northeast of LA. I ventured away from my regular order of a #1 number cheeseburger, no onions, to the newly added Smashburger. While it was great, I'm still partial to Rex's homemade one! 😉 Rex had the foot-longcheeseconey with jalapeños. And of course, we had tots!"
"We finished with an incredible mouth-watering chocolatepeanut buttershake. Amazing!" she went on, before wishing everyone a happy Valentine's Day and encouraging them to try Sonic.
