When I can get frozen custard, I go for it. Sadly, the nearest outlet that I know of is 25 miles from home - not worth the drive, when it's less than half a mile to the nearest ice cream parlor, and I can walk.
We had a Culver's about two miles away back in Palatine. We have a new one only 25 miles away (at I-94 and Belleville Rd); fortunately I occasionally have excuses to go over there. It's a lot better than the former closest one, in Jackson, which I never had a valid excuse to visit.
Research has turned up a Ritter's Frozen Custard in Brighton, although Mapquest says that's just as far. Still, I should probably check it out.
Frozen custard is WAY richer than ice cream. If you think it's a "cheap imitation," you've never had custard at all, nor apparently ever had bad ice cream.
Um, frozen custard adds eggs, and has about 10% milkfat. Folks with any sort of arterial disease should stick to regular ice cream; likewise anyone on a weight-control diet. If you're going to sin, you can do it twice as fast with frozen custard.
Hey - I am an ice cream fiend, but one of the things I'm into right now is putting yogurt in the freezer and freezing it. Yummy...frozen Weight Watchers yogurt. Almost as good as ice cream. :)
