Bits 'n' Pieces shakes
More idea-borrowing from JITB (altho this time the JITB idea isn't worth borrowing): Steak n Shake’s Bits ‘n’ Pieces milk shakes, wherein PB cups, cookie dough, M&Ms, and cookies & cream are blended into the shake. Steak n Shake is a decent chain which sells steaky burgers and makes the ultimate customer-service sacrifice by staying open 24 hrs. Its shakes, made w/ real ice cream, are already perfect. So why gum things up w/ a buncha straw-clogging crap? And get this: a "regular" 20-oz shake has 964 cals, 34 g fat, & 149 carbs which is 50% of your daily allotment

I guess to each their own, but I stopped at Steak and Shake a couple of weeks ago for the first time and I don't see what all the fuss is about.
I ordered a vanilla shake to go with (a very average) burger, and it was like soft-serve ice cream in a glass. I damn near sucked my intestines up into my esophagus simply trying to get the stuff up the straw. But the time I gave up, with 3/4 of it left, my mouth was so puckered it must have looked like I had been smoking for 30 years.
Who drinks a vanilla shake though? I mean what's the point?
I had an oreo cheesecake shake (I don't even want to think about the calories and fat in that mug) from Bruster's Ice Cream and it was AWESOME, but I do have to agree with the stuff that gunks up your straw. Makes it hard to drink on the go.
Oh, Captain, my Captain!
Pola:
What have you done with Polar?
Bear with me, for it's a long story.
Oh, NO! Does it have a grizzly ending?
I THINK DOG KILLER MEANS SHE'S SINGLE CELLED. AMOEBAS DON'T HAVE BRAINS. IT'S NICE TO SEE THE POLACK IS BACK!
i agree with bk, the burgers aren't "steak-like", i think it happened to be a good rhyme so they stuck with it.
and the former mr. clairevoyant used to love their shakes, but i couldn't stomach them.
this whole mixin' stuff into shakes/ice cream is everywhere, but my favorite is TCBY's white chocolate mousse yogurt with cookie dough. yummy.
(donald, i think you mean a soft spot in your head.)
I don't know what you mean, Kirk.
but clairevoyant, wouldn't you make an exception for their chocolate shakes?
Do Fries Go With That Shake?
soof, i tried, i really did. i mean, i'd do anything for my chocolate, but something about their shakes is too much to handle.
So, maybe this is why things are shakin' at Steak and Shake?
