About Me

My family owns a frozen custard shop in Oak Forest (south Chicago suburbs). It is amazing, and you will be hooked after you try it. Right now they are selling their fall specials, which are my favorite flavors. The pumpkin pie concrete seriously is one of the best things in the world. They were recently featured on metromix.com: http://metromix.chicagotribune.com/localguide/suburbs/south/ mmx-060919-south-suburban-pumpkin-dishes,0,3143702.story? coll=mmx-sgs_hedsIf you are in the Chicagoland area you must try it. 2 Sisters Frozen Custard. 6210 W. 159th Street in Oak Forest.
