As the owner of Silky Smooth (and a fellow St Louisan–Parkway South), I want to thank you for braving your “favorite place on earth”, the lovely Beverly Center, to share our passion for genuine frozen custard. I, too grew up on Ted Drewes & White Castles, hence our product offerings. We appreciate your initial glowing review, but were surprised that you felt a soft-serve product was superior to the genuine extrusion product we share with Ted Drewes. Nothing on earth compares to the extrusion product when it is made and served fresh, so I must invite you to return and have a cone “right off the ribbon” just like Ted’s and you will be in frozen custard heaven, I guarantee it! We have many ex-St Louisans & Midwesterners driving up to 80 miles each week to indulge in our unique-to-California genuine midwest frozen custard (our mix is imported from Wisconsin!) and you must try our truly unique Custard/Gelato Fusion Flavors like Chocolate, Coffee, and Pistachio! Plus, we make a killer black and white concrete “SilkyWhip” (vanilla+chocolate+gourmet chocolate syrup), just like I used to be addicted to at Ted Drewes. After all, with a name like Silky Smooth, our texture has to be the very best! No soft serve can compare…
PS–Our location may not be ideal, but it is all we can do right now. If you truly enjoy genuine extrusion-style (Ted Drewes) 1.4% egg-yolk frozen custard, we are basically the only one still in business in the whole state of California. The rest are airy, soft-serve types like McDonalds or Dairy Queen. Not in the same league as the real deal. Be sure to spread the word about us…your negative attitude toward our location, combined with fro-yo mania in LA, means you may never see genuine frozen custard in LA ever again if we don’t make it. Why? Because the word “custard” has killed EVERY attempt to sell frozen custard in California over the past 20 years!! I know nearly all of the victims personally, despite most offering a really good product, many lost their homes and families with their sad stories. And, every one of them told me that if they had it to do all over again, they would have never called it “frozen custard”. That is why we changed our name to “Ultra Creamery” in 2005. After 4 years in the Beverly Center with steady growth ever since changing our name, they opened that froyo place next door just a week ago to try and put us out of business. Most Angeleno “yogurtheads” HATE all types of ice cream now, so we need ALL dedicated ice cream/custard/gelato fanatics in LA to experience the truly luxurious and healthy (90% fat free, all natural and Kosher) treat known as Silky Smooth. Your good faith and support is greatly appreciated!
