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.

Tommy's Burger

I love Tommy's Burger. It's a sentimental favorite, My grandpa used to bring me here every time it was his turn to cook lunch or dinner. I haven't been back to Tommy's since high school, and I had such high expectations of how it would taste, wanting it to taste just like it used to. I am pleased to say that nothing has changed. It is so good. The burgers, the chili, the fries even the coke. Sometimes it is the little things, like perfectly blended coke, that make my day.

While I am a huge fan of their classic single or double burger, Tommy's Texas burger is my current favorite. That BBQ smokey sweetness, kind of puts it over the top. Oh yeah and there is bacon, so enough said.

Run don't walk, you will be so glad you did.
