dodgecitydave: yeah, we walk down there from lunch in the afternoon sometimes. nothing fancy, just chocolate and vanilla frozen custard (and lowfat yogurt). simple and inexpensive. you can get a few toppings, like sprinkles, too...

If the electro-freeze tastes anything like the frozen styrofoam they inject into the Rita's water ice, then count me out. If it tastes like the magic soft serve you get in small town burger joints on the west coast, count me in.

*er, the dairy godmother is what i meant to say, but someone already covered that. The comments board is also cursed.

mike licht: well, i don't know about wisconsin-style custard here in the dc area, but kopp's in milwaukee kicks ass. that stuff is so thick you're not able to get up out of your chair for an hour!

@ Mike Licht: I don't know of any custard stand in DC-proper, but there are several in Virginia. There's Frozen Dairy Bar in Falls Church and in Del Ray, Alexandria. There used to be a Kohr Bros. in Ballston mall, but it closed years ago. The closest ones are in Ocean City and Rehoboth. For the Yogurt shop itself... The toppings are also cursed.

Adam Bailey: That so-called Wisconsin-style custard doesn't make it. Coney Island, Electro-Freeze -- that's custard.

IMGoph-That line isn't attributable to "The Man of Yogurt." It was my line as a suggestion on how to order your yogurt. Fixed now. I'd still encourage you to use that line when ordering in your Scottish accent though.

Frozen yogurt -- feh. Where is the frozen custard in DC? Somebody open a Kohr Brothers franchise.
