The Twelve Days of Custard

By Anthony Todd in Food on Nov 24, 2009 4:20PM

2009_11_scooters.jpg Ever since we started spending more time in Roscoe Village, we've been completely addicted to Scooter's Frozen Custard. Three times a week addicted. If we had a nickel for every time that we've run screaming out of the house at 9:45 to get some tasty goodness just before closing... we'd have about $2. Their plain vanilla custard is ambrosial, and they offer Sprecher Root Beer for root beer floats.

In 12 days, Scooter's closes for winter. If you've never been, take this opportunity to check it out. If you're a regular, you can get 12 servings in between now and December 4th. More, if you aren't ashamed to eat custard for lunch. Also, if you happen to stop in tonight, it's the last night for their Pumpkin custard. We haven't tried it yet... and we'll be there tonight.
