'Top Chef' host Kristen Kish calls frozen custard 'simply delicious' after Kopp's visit, doesn't say if she likes it better than Leon's
You didn't think "Top Chef" host Kristen Kish was going to stop with just one frozen custard shop, did you?
Kish and one of the show's judges, Gail Simmons, are taking full advantage of Milwaukee’s ample frozen custard locations as they continue filming for next season's show in the city.
Last week, Kish and Simmons tried Leon's Frozen Custard, the longtime south 27th street stand, and they gave it positive reviews. But it was clear they weren't going to be done there. They also made a visit to Culver's, though, that's not just specific to Milwaukee and Wisconsin, like their next stop would be on their frozen custard adventure.
Kopp's was next.
The two posted images of their experience on their Instagram accounts outside the Brookfield location on Wednesday.
"We did our due diligence and went to both Leon’s & Kopps," Kish wrote. "I’m not quite ready to share my opinion on which I enjoyed better on a public platform but what I will say is, frozen custard is simply delicious and is made all the better with a solid eating partner."
Simmons loved everything about Kopp's.
"Wisconsin Frozen Custard Tour Part 2. In case you’re wondering, @koppsfrozencustard flavor of the day was cookies ‘n’ cream and it was damn good. So was that cheeseburger. The pickle was like my perfect cherry on top (oh and don’t forget the killer onion rings)."
Simmons also responded to Kish's post with the message: "I think we’ve done Milwaukee proud."
They sure are.
They have to keep going now, right? We're not called the frozen custard capital of the world for no reason.
As noted by several in the comments of their posts, there are even more frozen custard locations for them to visit while they're in Wisconsin.
LeDuc's Frozen Custard in Wales. Gilles Frozen Custard in Milwaukee. The Kiltie Drive-In in Oconomowoc. Oscar's Frozen Custard in either Waukesha, Franklin or West Allis. Oh, and since they'll be in Madison for the filming of season 21 of "Top Chef" they also need to try Michael's Frozen Custard.
Where should Kish and Simmons visit next?
It's a good bet they're just getting started.
