CJ's Italian Ice & Custard

CJ's Italian Ice & Custard is the perfect treat for hot summer nights. They offer a great selection; there is something for everyone with more than 30 custard flavors, and nearly a dozen Italian ice flavors. Plus, concretes with mix-ins and a variety of sundaes. We had banana italian ice, strawberry and vanilla custard gelati and concrete with vanilla and peanut butter cups. The concrete was really fantastic, better than other custard shops in town. The gelati was the best I've had since Frozen Aces closed years ago.

Elevation Burger

I noticed Elevation Burger opened a a few months ago. It's close to home and located in a strip mall near Walmart. We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. We had the place to ourselves when we first arrived, but it later filled with a few diners. Three Elevation burgers were ordered, that means double meat and double cheese. They tout 100% grass-fed organic USDA beef and real cheddar cheese. From the list of toppings: I chose carmelized onions, Frank had lettuce, tomato and elevation sauce, and my brother was left very disappointed because bacon was not an option. Fries are made fresh and fried in olive oil. Service was quick and friendly. Burgers and fries were fresh as advertised. The fries were particularly enjoyable. Yet, I was left craving In-N-Out. This isn't a bad burger joint, but you can get a similar slightly less healthy burger down the street at In-N-Out without the elevated price. An Andrew Jackson will purchase the meal pictured above.
