The remarkable Scooter’s Frozen Custard normally has a line out the door – the surest sign of a good product, and we assure you that their rich, creamy treats are worth waiting for. People in Chicago have made this spot a family tradition. Sit inside or use their walk-up window if you have a puppy in tow. Custard is a little richer and creamier than ice cream, but who’s complaining?
