best in the midwest

the title of this blog is not only a reference to the wizard of oz...but it actually applies to us first-time mid-westerners. both of us will always call utah our home, and it's basically where our entire lives have been lived. and there are things we will miss this summer. in n out. nielsens frozen custard (I could literally live off of that stuff. it's probably my favorite food). cafe rio/costa vida. mountains. dryness (i actually kinda like the humidity, but colby is not a fan). and of course our families.

but what would you do if I told you we found a place dare I say BETTER than in n out AND has frozen custard?!? Please contain your excitement for me.....

meet freddy's. apparently they started in wichita and grew all over kansas and various other places. none in utah yet, but colby said if we end up in utah it has to be st. george because there is currently a freddy's under construction in our favorite southern utah hotspot.

I know food pictures are boring-tastic and next time i'll try harder to get human beings in the pictures.

they even have fry sauce. 

colby went to ask if they had any spread-type sauce we could dip the fries in...he didn't even see the fry sauce dispenser right in front of him! who would expect that anywhere non-utah? the burgers are delish (in n outs buns are better, but there basically the same otherwise), the fries are ahhhhmazing (big advantage freddy's) and the cookie dough concrete reminded me of what heaven must be like. seriously, what is it about that stuff? oh and they have diet dr. pepper. hooray!

the workers were extremely nice and even gave us an extra custard cone for free because they made too many. score! we'll definitely became regulars at this place and will miss it when we don't live right down the street anymore. 

also, we know we're in the bbq capital of the world and will definitely take advantage! i've watched the man vs. food kansas city episode and have taken detailed notes. stay tuned...
