When you think best milkshake, it doesn’t conjure up images of gurneys and hospital waiting rooms. You think of cold, creamy goodness. You think of thick and frosty happiness. In a hospital kitchen that cares, you can indeed get all of that. CHOMP’s got all those bases covered, and then some. Their milkshake starts with (spoiler alert) real ice cream. No ready-to-freeze prepackaged mystery liquid here. Add some real milk and a heavy-duty stand mixer and you get a made-to-order experience that almost makes you want to be a patient.
