Time Out Chicago / Issue 166 : May 1–7, 2008

Active culture club

You’d have to be living under a rock to miss the frozen-yogurt trend. Here’s our take on who’s best, plus a couple other new frozen treats on the scene.

The scoop This new Wicker Park sugar shack lines its glass cases with chocolate-dipped everything and fluffy mounds of caramel corn. But it’s the housemade frozen custard we made a beeline for.
The skinny One ounce contains 7 grams of carbs, 60 calories and 3 grams of fat.
The verdict If you’re using Wisconsin custard as your bar (What up, Leon’s? What up, Kopp’s?), you’re gonna be disappointed here. The problem is two-fold: The stuff comes out of a traditional dispenser but then gets put into a freezer, so it’s harder than the silky, creamy custard we expected, plus the massive amount of egg yolks makes for a French vanilla effect that’s too cloying.

  After reading about them in this week's TOC, I stopped by the Wow Bao at State and Lake... no frozen yogurt on the menu and when I asked about it I was faced with blank stares.
