Summer is officially over, but this doggone tour continues!
One place I wanted to squeeze in before we end this was The Ice Cream Shack. I happened to see that last Sunday was their last day open for the 2024 season, so I went and had one last hot dog to close their season out!
Let’s go and start week number fifteen…hot diggity dog!
Here we are at The Ice Cream Shack in downtown Peoria. I think I’ll pass on the Pumpkin Shake and there’s the closing date, which has now passed. I can’t believe we’re in October!
There’s the ice cream shack, which is hardly a shack, but actually a formidable brick buildingn. I love it when I can work the word “formidable” into a sentence, so there!
I also love that Betty Boop clock up there under the sign!
You place your order over here at this window. The two women working were a little camera shy and didn’t want their photo taken, so I just took one of the inside of the place.
Wow, they have an impressive condiment section over here. Let’s see what they have to offer…
Yikes, these are definitely off-brand condiments and I think we’ll leave them be. If it’s not Heinz, it’s not for me. Yes, I’m a condiment snob!
Usually I don’t eat outside, but since it’s the last day of the season for The Ice Cream Shack, I thought we’d eat here and this is the table I chose. We can sit here and watch the world go by on Adams Street in downtown Peoria. Woo and hoo!
I got a vanilla milkshake and it was thick, creamy and very sweet and tasty! We’re off to a fabulous start!
Time to unwrap this week’s hot dog and as you can see, I got a chili-cheese dog and it’s got a decent amount of chili and cheese!
Let’s dig in and take a bite of this dog!
This is a tasty chili-cheese dog.
There’s a nice ratio of cheese to chili with the cheese being creamy and rich and it plays well with the tangy and zippy chili. The hot dog is an all beef dog and the bun is bakery fresh.

Hot Dog Rating
This was a top-notch chili-cheese dog and I’ll give it a high quality rating of three and a quarters Wiernermobiles.
The address to The Ice Cream Shack is below, but you’re going to have to wait till next summer to take a visit there. It’s officially closed for the season and I’m glad I squeezed in one last chili-cheese dog in before it closed!
