Thesis Sneak Peek: Leon's

I've been working away at thesis all day and wanted to share this little bit with you. I've started to work on my map for Milwaukee and when I was researching what I should include on my map, my roommate (a native Milwaukeean) was adamant that I include Leon's on it. It is a local drive-in known for its frozen custard.

You may think that frozen custard is similar to ice cream, but it is my duty as an adopted Wisconsinite to inform you that it is not the same. Milwaukee has more frozen custard stores per capita than anywhere else in the world! Despite living in Milwaukee for almost four years now, I still have yet to visit Leon's but it is officially on my Milwaukee bucket list.

  6. There is a great frozen custard stand I frequent. It is completely different than ice cream and definitely worth including on a bucket list.

  7. I too am looking forward to seeing your end result. I just know it will be fabulous.

    Side note: frozen custard sounds like the best thing since sliced cheese (assuming that it hasn't been around longer than sliced cheese... I don't know my food history very well).
