The moment the cold, smooth taste hits your tongue, you know you've made the right choice. Custard varies from traditional ice cream by its smooth and dense texture due to the addition of eggs in the recipe. It's becoming a more frequent offering at shops and restaurants. When you want to choose custard over ice cream in the Atlanta area, here's where to go:
Rock's Chicken and Fries (Phipps Plaza, 3500 Peachtree Road, Atlanta, GA) The new-ish Phipps Plaza fast casual concept features chocolate and vanilla custard on the menu and is made with a machine that owner Steve Snyder describes as, "the Mercedes-Benz of machines." Snyder's such a custard perfectionist he traveled to up north to learn about the machine and the frozen custard making process from experts.
Vintage Frozen Custard (1021 Howell Mill Road, Atlanta, GA) Only open in its brick and mortar Westside location, Vintage Frozen Custard has quickly become the go-to place to get the icy treat for the ITP crowd. Vintage makes all their custard in-house daily and they give you the option to build your own frozen custard treat or choose from one of their specialty creations, like the Berry Berry, which will remind you of custard meets cobbler. In addition, their menu has other custard treats like sparklers (floats), ice cream sandwiches and concretes.
