Trying to find the best frozen custard in Chicago area and remember seeing something on Food Network a few years ago about a great frozen custard near Chicago?

Thanks!

Hmm, the only thing that comes to mind is the Culver's chain out of Wisconsin but which seem to be popping up all over.

Don't know of a famous frozen custard place in Chicago, but in Milwaukee, Leon's is well known:

An hour west of Chicago, we have Ollie's Frozen Custard in Sycamore...YUMMY! I can vouch that it's very good.

In Milwaukee, there's also Kopp's--my kids can't get from the airport or train station to home without stopping there. www.kopps.com

There was an article on frozen custard in the Tribune not that long ago (June 8th), here's one of their suggestions:

"BEST BET

SCOOTER'S FROZEN CUSTARD

1658 W. Belmont Ave.

773-244-6415

www.scootersfrozencustard.com

Cost: $3.49 for a medium frozen custard

Weigh-in: 8.5 ounces; 41 cents per ounce

The scoop: Swoon-worthy. With its velvety smooth texture and luxuriant creaminess, the mild vanilla flavor is almost beside the point; this almost soft-serve frozen treat can't be beat. And, as a bonus, it's relatively cheap."

Plus a few more places

"Thanks to Culver's, frozen custard stands are becoming more prevalent around Chicago, but they're still harder to find than ice cream shops. Among them are Gramp's Frozen Custard, 1 W. Illinois St., St. Charles, 630-762-9480; Greg's Frozen Custard, 1490 S Lake St., Mundelein, 847-837-4175; Julie Ann's Frozen Custard, 4817 N. Northwest Highway, Crystal Lake, 815-459-9171; Main Street Frozen Custard, 1185 Main Street, Antioch, 847-395-0800; and of course, Culver's, which has five dozen locations in Illinois, www.culvers.com."

thanks so much for the feedbacks! I think it may have been KOPP's that I saw on Food Network. Will keep that one in mind when we go to Milwaukee.
