My husband is wonderful to put up with all my little adventures. (This raspberry shake thing wasn't the first and won't be the last.) He had Tuesday night off from performing so we jumped in the car and drive north through the canyon. It was actually great to sit in the car and spend some quality time with my husband just talking....and avoiding the cows crossing the road.
I did a bit of research before we went on our journey. I typed "Bear Lake raspberry shakes" into the Google bar and discovered a blog. It's by a family that taste tests all the raspberry shakes in the Bear Lake area to see which has the best. So I took their advice and decided to go to with their most recent winner, Quick 'n' Tasty.
When we pulled in to the Garden City, my husband turned to me and asked, "So, where are we going?" I had "forgot" to look up the address to the Quick 'n' Tasty because part of the adventure is to not know where you're going, right? But don't worry, we didn't have to look far. On the corner of the first intersection was the Quick 'n' Tasty with a sign outside that said 'Famous Raspberry Shakes' and a long line of hungry people.
Once we got out of the car and stood in line, I took a look down the street. There were at least three other restaurants with a raspberry shakes sign outside their shop. Good to know if we didn't find the Quick 'n' Tasty we'd still get a shake. Better to know we were at the best tasting one.
Again, my husband is wonderful and made a date out of my adventure by buying us dinner. We got chicken strips, a double cheeseburger, home style fries, and of course, a large raspberry shake. We got our shake first and started nibbling at it. One word: YUM! The food came next and it was all delicious. We ate outside and enjoyed every bit!
So was it worth it? In big, bold letters....YES! The raspberry shake was amazing and I would make the drive for another one. Of course, sharing the adventure with my husband made the trip one hundred times better.
