Nielsen's Frozen Custard

My husband is always making fun of me for liking old people desserts (I like a lot of things with malt, caramel, peanuts, etc.) and this is where it all started. Whenever we go to Nielsen's I without fail order a single chocolate with almond's on top. And without fail my sweet husband makes fun of my choice. Would you like me to get your walker, your teeth, where were you when Lincoln was shot. Yes he is quite the comedian.

But all geriatric hilarity aside, their chocolate custard with their salted almonds is probably my favorite dessert.  Their custard is the creamiest cold confection, and the salt and crunch of the almonds, heaven. 

They also have great burgers, super juicy ones with grilled onions, pickles, ketchup the works all on a pillowy flour topped bun. It is a mystery to me why anyone visits a fast food chain, when there are burgers and fries this good available (and in a drive thru no less) and it's all fresh and made with care.

Not to be missed, anything involving their custard particularly Nielsen's concretes the shakes that make all other shakes feel completely inferior. Available in pretty much every flavor. They also have sundaes and floats. So get to your nearest Nielsen's and party like it's 1952. And just like 1952, they don't accept any cards. Cash only, annoying but totally worth it.

Slab

I will never forget the first time I found Slab, my son was two months old and it was time to lose the babyweight so I went for a walk. Aaaand walked right into Slab, needless to say my exercise attempt(s) (are usually) was futile. Long story short we ended up eating there three times a week.

I love this pizza, the crust is so good! And not like any other pizza it is thin and crisp and just the right amount of chewy. And then there are the options. They have everything you could possibly want, from classics like Cheese and Pepperoni to the much more exciting red curry pulled pork and Rosemary Potato and Bacon (which are both ridiculously good by the way.)  Look at the menu here. Better yet, look at the menu there.

Slab is a staple for us and it will be for you too. The restaurant is great, the staff is even better and the food, well it is some of the very best in Utah Valley! Run don't walk. 669 East 800 North Provo
