Shake’s/Sheridan’s Showdown 2007

Date April 18, 2007

Even though my sister Meredith and I had many disagreements growing up, recently there have been a few notable things we have agreed on wholeheartedly. The Nintendo Wii and frozen custard at Shake’s are both incredibly awesome. I have recently moved to the Kansas City area, and my experiences here may cause us to revisit our disagreeable days.

Jennifer and I had a craving for frozen custard the other day, and looked online for the closest Shake’s. Unfortunately, the closest one was 5.7 miles away, so we decided to try out a place called Sheridan’s we had seen earlier that day that was a mere 3 miles away from our place. It was awesome. While I still think Shake’s custard is awesome, I think Sheridan’s might be better.

In order to determine just who makes the better custard, I am planning on holding a showdown between these two places the next time Meredith and Henry grace us with their presence. I hope that if Meredith and I come to different conclusions on which establishment makes the better custard we will be able to put it behind us and agree to disagree.

    I am seriously not ready for you two to
    start with the sibling rivalry again!
    I really think you should ask your Mom’s
    opinion about more things – such as
    frozen custard :) . Love ya!!!

    I’m definitely up to the showdown! Don’t worry Mom, we’re both adults now (which means we know more colorful names to call each other when we argue – hee hee)

    I think we need to decide criteria for this showdown. For instance, I ALWAYS get a concrete with Raspberries, cone dip (which hardens into strips of chocolate), and pecans. I will need to compare the same thing at each establishment and that might not be your favorite. Do we also need to sample one like item?

    Jer – I owe you for all of our disagreements! I was able to develop my negotiation skills, which are paying off for me every day.

    I must say, Sheridan’s website is a little cooler than Shake’s. Don’t let that influence your taste buds!

    And yes, Shawna…you really should. You don’t know what you’re missing!

    Perhaps we should just get a plain concrete from each location so that our preference for different toppings does not hinder our comparison.
