I may be a bit late to this party, but the name alone seems to add to my waistline. I’ve finally discovered this hotspot, and now there’s more than one. “Millions of Milkshakes” opened in October 2008 on Santa Monica Boulevard at San Vicente in West Hollywood. They just opened another store at the Westfield Mall in Culver City. And, no, I don’t own a piece of the company. Believe me- I wish I did.

The West Hollywood location has become a celebrity magnet. If you’ve got friends or relatives in from out of town and they want to see stars, take them here, especially late at night.

The milk shakes themselves are named after A list celebs. On the way home from surgery to repair my broken foot, (see earlier blog, if you care) I asked my friend to swing by and pick me up a Vegan Ron Artest Shake, made with mixed berries, peaches, pineapple and protein. (Vegan means it was made with soy milk.) My friend enjoyed a Miley Cyrus shake, made with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and cookie dough. I was still groggy from the surgery, but my shake hit the spot. It was the only good thing to happen the day I broke my foot.

Don’t be surprised if the Millions of Milkshakes phenomenon spreads to your neighborhood soon. The buzz about this place is getting too big to ignore. It is to milk shakes what Sprinkles has become to cupcakes. I can see the guys from “Entourage” pulling up in Drama’s Lincoln convertible in a future episode.
