It’s no secret that Chicagoans know how to eat. It’s also no secret that our recipes tend to be a bit over the top. We take pride in that! While visiting Chicago, you have to try our deep dish pizza and you have to try our fully-loaded Chicago dog, but what should you do for dessert? Why not keep on with the outrageous and extravagant theme, and try one of the following creations from a few Chicago sweet tooth experts. These are some of the Bobby’s staff’s favorites, perfect for indulging after a long and satisfying bike ride.
- Milkshakes from JoJo’s Shake Bar – This brand new (opened Feb. 28th, 2019) neo-diner is serving up tricked out shakes, loaded and topped with cake, candy, cookies, pie, and more. Add a shot of whiskey for an extra kick of fun.
