It is second best and Braum’s is my last stop headed south. Even the Bad of Burgers can’t be beat. Five burgers, dry with lettuce and tomato, a black walnut malt, a big bag of cheese for the freezer, muffins for breakfast and I’m on the road again.
They won’t distribute more than a day’s truck run from Tuttle even if I promised I’d be their best customer ever.
Blue Bell is second best it is true but it is a good enough second best.
You're like my youngest daughter. Every time she comes to visit, her last stop before heading home to San Antonio is at Braum's -- for a double-dip butter pecan cone.
I used to do their advertising and know how the old man felt about his product. It was going to be the best they could make it and he would sell it for the least they could afford. All the fresh milk comes from the herd in Tuttle, while they bought all the milk for ice cream.
The second generation is now in charge and they are evidently still following the old man's philosophy.
Interesting story: I was at the plant one day when we heard a loud metallic shriek, followed by an explosive POW!!! We ran out to the truck dock, where we found that somebody had attached the high-pressure pump to the valve on the bottom of a milk tanker, but forgot to open the vent at the top. It was a strange sight -- the stainless steel milk tanker was literally flat as a pancake.
