NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — No, it's not National Milkshake Day.
In fact, National Chocolate Milkshake Day is in September. This is close! It's National Chocolate Ice Cream Day!
"One time we had somebody order mint chocolate chip with peanut butter," said Gracie Tucker, who runs Gracie's Milkshake Bar at L&L Market.
"So we have 15 different shakes on our menu," she said.
While the base can always be chocolate ice cream, what about all the other things you can add to it? This doesn't include chocolate frosting around the rim of the glass and candy, chocolate chips, sprinkles, or chocolatey cereal in the mix.
"Calories don't count here," Tucker said.
I asked her how many scoops go into a milkshake. She gave me probably one of the most perfect answers I could get.
"So it depends on if you worked out that day," she said.
Of course, milkshakes are topped with whipped cream and the cherry on top.
But you have to see these milkshakes. Seriously. Click on the video above to be amazed.
Here’s a story offering a great example of how a common cause, and a little creativity, can “intersect” to improve quality of life. Our South Nashville reporter Patsy Montesinos shares how some neighbors decided to take action, following the tragic death of a 77-year-old in a hit-and-run along Antioch Pike earlier this year. See how they used “tactical urbanism” to make the area a little safer for all.
