Sorry for the hiatus. As I mentioned in my previous post, I have been (unsuccessfully) dieting. The diet was supposed to continue but this place was too darn enticing to pass up. Mel's Drive-In sits on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, California (not to be confused with West Hollywood, Denmark). I was led to believe … Continue reading Mel’s Drive-In: West Hollywood’s Diet Sundae
This week will not feature a new review. Why? I'm dieting and the weekly/semi-weekly sundae consumption has taken a toll on my tummy area. Sue me. Instead, I thought I'd post something I think could be helpful to my readers. I've noticed an alarming amount of people who don't know what a hot fudge sundae … Continue reading Is It a Hot Fudge Sundae?
A friend of mine wanted to try out this diner near his home in Vancouver, Washington. The facade is covered in blindingly reflective metal; when the sun's at the right angle, it could decimate a large colony of ants. Stardust Diner looks like it hasn't changed since the 1950s, though for all I know it … Continue reading Stardust Diner: For Dudes and Dames
Farr is a chain of ice creameries in Utah. There is also a candy shop in Idaho Falls with the name "Farr," but my research can't confirm they're from the same company (the research lasted two seconds, stopping when I couldn't find a web link about the candy store). My colleagues and I chose Farr's … Continue reading Farr Better Ice Cream – “And Dole Whip”
People from my hometown often point out I haven't gone to the mecca of Portland ice creameries: Salt & Straw. This is true, but I don't like being told where to get my sundaes; one should never be compelled to go buy a sundae, it should be a natural occurrence. It just so happens my … Continue reading Salt & Straw: Wrong Location
A day in Lava Hot Springs means a day filled with sitting in a stew of strangers. This stew is sweaty and full of children, yet oddly relaxing. Most of the times I frequent the area, I'll sit in the pools for about two hours, switching back and forth between the hot, hotter and hottest … Continue reading Sweet Stuff: “That’s On Me”
This is the first time I've reviewed a chain restaurant's sundae since the beloved McDonald's. Part of my reasons for choosing "America's Diner" is because of its late-night popularity among college students. The other reason is some friends and I had just seen Captain Marvel and it was 10 pm, leaving most local and smaller-chain options … Continue reading Denny’s: America’s Sundae (For Better or for Worse)
I gorged myself the other night on a medium plate of traditional Buffalo Wild Wings, and then realized I needed content for a blog post. My friends and I saddled up and muttered our mantra, "there's always room for ice cream." We were in Idaho Falls, so our knowledge of hot fudge sundaes available to … Continue reading Reed’s Dairy: Unsuspecting Marvel
Soda Vine, one of many soda-specializing businesses that seem to thrive in non-drinking communities, prides itself as a go-to spot for many in Rexburg. In the times I've gone inside to take an order (rather than drive-thru, which is much preferred), I've seen a whole spectrum of crews: families with young children, boy's nights, girl's … Continue reading Soda Vine: Chocolate Sundae
In truth, I am writing this review months after actually eating at Ruby Jewel. Unfortunately for them, it was also a very long time from when I ate at Molly Moon's and wrote that review, yet I still remember quite a bit. Maybe it's because I took better notes, or maybe it's because MM's had … Continue reading Ruby Jewel: Forgettable Turn of Events
