Had the Dulce De Leche @ Big Star last night. It was awesome.

ELaken,

Bad ass meant good. Margie's Banana Shake was real good.

Hipster lemming!

A couple more options:

Peanut Butter & Chocolate at Patty Burger (72 E. Adams).

Chocolate or Butterscotch at M Burger (161 E. Huron).

Thanks for giving it a shot; hard to believe I've become a proponent of the place, but that stuff is addicting.

When Santander posts a rec the NAV MAN listens.

Hi,

I have a tickle of a memory of Portillo's offering a pie shake. I didn't see it on their menu, though that doesn't mean it is not available. Please note, I know of it and never tried it.

I did find this, while looking for anything to confirm this pie shake:

I don't know NAV MAN, you might just need to get out to Beverley and try a chocolate malt at Top Notch on 95th St. One of the best ice-cream+milk concoctions I have ever had. You can also get a damn fine burger and fries with that.

Seconded. The Vanilla Malt at Top Notch on 95th is, IMHO, the finest milkshake in the city. (And their beef-tallow-cooked fries are the finest in the city too; their burger is, IMHO, a solid, good burger - but not tops in the city like their other two offerings).

Herre are some pictures to get the NAV MAN excited.

Brown Sack Chocolate Malt


Top Notch Chocolate Malt

No mention of Suzie's on Montrose and their dozens of shake flavors?

And how could the NAV MAN pass up the one-two gutpunch of a shake and a corn pole?

suzie's has dozens of flavors but their shakes are terrible. I took two sips of mine and tossed the rest.

Ahhh... I miss the days of having a root beer shake at Cock Robin.

Gonna head too the Sack tomorrow for a sangwich and a shake.

How long is it gonna take to get from the South Loop to Top Notch, eat, get a shake on and get back?

The NAV MAN should go elsewhere for his shake fix tomorrow--the Sack is closed on Sundays (and Mondays). But when you do make it there, I highly recommend getting a chocolate/banana combo shake.

I vote vanilla, but not tomorrow or Monday. I'm glad you posted here that you were going to hit the Brown Sack tomorrow. I'm really glad someone saved you a trip.

While I follow this thread with intense interest is there a reason why people are communicating in blackface? If you didn't actually come up in a black neighborhood is there a reason why we are writing this way?

You best step off & check yaself.

Just sucked down a Strawberry shake from J Wellingtons on North Avenue. Tremendous. Irazu or McDonalds tonight.

Apparently I am the Cassandra of your milkshake mission: NAV MAN, Irazu is closed on Sundays.

Can NAV MAN get a shake on a sunday in this damn city?

Scooters! They're open on Sundays! Hmmm, maybe I know what I'm doing after work...

Just buried a cinnamon apple pie shake from Choppers on Ashland. NAV MAN like.

I don't know about the pie shake, but they do have the chocolate cake shake, only $2.55...

NAV MAN, I salute you.

I haven't tried one, but the adult milkshakes at The Counter look really good.

That's probably what I was thinking and probably worth trying at least once.

Disagree. I had one on our milkshake crawl and it was pretty terrible. Unless you are interested in immediate onset type 2 diabetes.

Didn't an LTH-er make a shake of ice cream and pumpkin pie once? That looked fantastic. One day I'll try that, if we have pie long enough to make it to shake form...

yeah, the portillo's chocolate cake shake is absolutely terrible. unbelievably sweet.

In a former life, I was in a relationship with someone from Iowa City. There is a place there called the Hamburg Inn #2 where I enjoyed a pie shake from time to time. I remember really loving the pumpkin pie shake, but they seem to make pie shakes of any variety. NAV MAN, don't know if a trip out west is in your near future, but the pie shake can't be beat!
