That wasn't pop. That was Orange Julius. It tasted much like a creamsicle.Steve Z.

Post #63 - December 17th, 2015, 9:45 amOrange Julius isn't the same. They used to use fresh squeezed orange juice. They probably are using concentrate or powdered tang-like orange juice because they are pretty bad."I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day." Frank Sinatra

Post #64 - December 21st, 2015, 2:11 pmIn Montréal is what is basically a knock-off of Orange Julius, called Orange Julep. It's in the shape of a gigantic orange, c. 10m in diameter. In addition to the orange drink, there's also fast food of the usual sort. During the Summer, the place is so popular it's open 24/7.
GeoSooo, you like wine and are looking for something good to read? Maybe *this* will do the trick!

They had a quality Mexican buffet and some amazing corn side dish I will never forget.
They had a location on Milwaukee just north of Lake Street.

And one on Milwaukee just south of Lake Avenue (Glenview). I agree they were a lot better than average for sit-down chain food, where my older son learned to eat salsa (with his hands) and spoke his first full sentence. Yes there's better mom-n-pop Mex in my neighborhood, but they always worked well for a busy family.What is patriotism, but the love of good things we ate in our childhood?
