In lieu of a proper review for #175, I thought I'd paraphrase a scene from one of my favorite movies. Except, instead of Jack Rabbit Slim's, this took place at Bliss Dessert Cafe.

Group: Did you just order a seven-dollar shake?
Alex: Sure did.
Group: A shake? Milk and ice cream?
Alex: Uh-huh.
Group: It costs seven dollars?
Alex: Yep.
Group: You don't put bourbon in it or anything?
Waiter: Nope. (refills water for the third time in 20 minutes)
Group: Just checking.
(later)
Friends: Can I have a sip of that? I'd like to know what a seven-dollar shake tastes like.
Alex: Be my guest. You can use my straw, I don't have cooties.
Friends: Yeah, but maybe we do.
Alex: Cooties, I can handle.
Friends: Goddamn! That's a pretty damn good milk shake.
Alex: Told ya.
Friends: I don't know if it's worth seven dollars, but it's pretty damn good.

One of the best shakes I've had in a long, long time. Worth checking out if you're in the City Centre area.
