A good peanut butter milkshake doesn’t really need bacon in it. But I tip my hat to the crazy soul who dreamed up the combination. The What’s Shakin’ Bacon at Silly’s Restaurant is one of the most decadent concoctions ever to pass my lips.

Expecting microscopic bacon bits floating in my frappe, I sat back in my seat in shock when the waiter plopped down the glass. A thick sprig of meaty bacon grew out the top like the sprouts on a well-tended chia pet. I started sippin’ and the crisp strands sank into the nutty cream below — perfectly distributing salt into the sweetness.

I set my half-eaten sandwich aside (not that the jerk chicken wrap wasn’t tasty) and concentrated solely on the shake. Across the table, Adam was smackin’ his lips over his own strange mixture, the Sherry Baaaby, a blend of vanilla ice cream and Sandeman’s sherry.

Also on Silly’s shake menu – The Bees Knees, with honey, graham crackers and cinnamon; Twist & Stout, vanilla ice cream with Guiness; and Key Lime Pie, with a whole slice of pie blended in.
