Let me add: any pie at the Norsk Nook in Osseo - but particularly the Sour Cream Raisin - you need to head up to NW Wisconsin.

Post #9 - January 4th, 2006, 10:12 amOllie's in DeKalb has wonderful custard. My favorite is the blackcherry. Only problem is that Ollie's is only open late April to October. Don't know the address but it's on Rte. 23 about half way between DeKalb and Sycamore.

Post #10 - January 4th, 2006, 10:40 amThe best berry ice cream/custard I've ever had *in my life* was at LaBeau's Drive Inn, Garden City UT, right where the Logan Hwy (US 89) runs into Bear Lake. The berry bushes are out behind the bldg, and the kids gather the berries every morning to make the custard.
Other than that, Kopp's ain't no slouch, neither.

Post #15 - January 6th, 2006, 12:09 pmTonyC, how do you EAT that thing?
I mean, Dagwood could get *his* jaw open wide enough, but then, he's only in the comix. YOU (we assume!) exist in Real Life, and there's nary a Real Life jaw to open so wide as to encompass the enpictured Mazo's burger+++ .

I've had raspberry custard at Greg's Frozen Custard in Mundelein once and it was awesome. The best flavor I have had there. Unfortunately, it is a special flavor. Never had Kopps raspberry, so I can't compare.
A while back, Cathy posted a link to a site which has Greg's daily specials listed for the month.
