Ice Cream Shop
Doug's Delight is a Hazel Park ice cream stand that makes its soft-serve in-house and fills cream puffs with it, which is a lot of structural engineering for something you eat in a parking lot. The hard stuff comes from Guernsey Dairy. There's an off-menu cup with a dog treat for the pup in the back seat, and an Italian beef counter inside, run by a Chicagoan, in case you need a savory excuse.
