TC Shaved Ice

TC Shaved Ice is something of an institution in Garland. I remember growing up in the area, and frequenting the stand after exhausting afternoons of cheerleading camp during the sweltering Texas summers. Dallas, McKinney and Plano also have locations. Some swear by the Knockout, which is shaved ice plus scoops of homemade piña colada ice cream, but I’m more of a traditionalist: One large cherry shaved ice, please.
