A tradition in our family is to go to White Lake, NC at least once a summer. We always get a chocolate covered cone and see who can eat theirs not only first but who can finish theirs without dripping a drop. The quality of the chocolate and the vanilla soft ice cream always made this race so much fun - especially against my ""Little"" brother, Craig Hardee. Even today (I'm close to 49 yrs. old), my husband, daughter and I engage in the same race and it's even hotter now than in years past. Dairy Queen has been a family tradition for 2 - 3 generations.
Pros: cool shop, prompt service, great cost
Cons: crowded (good!!!), personality lacking
