On Second Scoop does a review of the Blizzard of the Month: Tagalongs, using Girl Scout Tagalong peanut butter patty cookies. Brit and I tried this earlier in the week and both went with chocolate ice cream, rather than the stock vanilla. Peanut butter and chocolate is a good combination and the crunchy cookie bits add a nice texture. We didn’t seem to have the overly peanut buttered problem. Definitely not a bad Blizzard in my opinion.

We’ve been waiting for Elevation Burger to open up in Wynnewood, PA (near Philadelphia) for several months now. It recently opened in time for the 4th of July weekend and burgatory took a trip. Ethan and I went Friday en route to a show and our review will be forthcoming, his for their veggie burger and mine for the cheeseburger. Possibly the best fast food fries I’ve ever eaten.

Can’t wait to hear your take on Elevation Burger. Went back today and had the Veggie Burger (#1) and if I am being 100% honest I’d say this was the second best item on the menu after the fries (even better than the burgers).
