Braum's

It's been awhile! I apologize to anyone who reads my blog regularly--I've been eating home-cooked meals. So really, no, I'm not sorry.

My grandfather, may he rest in peace, loved Braum's. I'm not sure if he really liked the food, or he went there because there always seems to be babies there. But then again he really liked anything his wife didn't cook (she was the worst cook I have ever known. Known for using the phrase, "it's just a little brown" followed by the sound 'scrape, scrape, scrape'.).

But I digress. Braum's always smells like they have great hamburgers, but I always go for the dairy stuff. They have all sorts of ice creams that rival Blue Bell (to be discussed in another post) and melt in your mouth with a rich creaminess you can only get from a good bowl if fresh ice cream.

You can also buy all that in tubs in the store part of your favorite Braum's.

But the chocolate milk. FAN-FREAKIN'-TASTIC. You can't make chocolate milk this good. It's rich and delicious and in no way watery. When you buy a half gallon, you'll have to shake it up so it's the right consistency and flavor (not all preservative-y like the store bought kind, with which I'm also obsessed).

So next time you're down South, or on your way home from work, get some. Because seriously, it's almost as awesome as I am.
