Recommendation of the Week: Dipped cone at Zesto of West Columbia

Sometimes an icon is more than just a symbol. For 77 years, Zesto of West Columbia has been a fixture on 12th Street, offering up burgers , chicken, fries, milkshakes, hot dogs and more. The restaurant is such a mainstay that earlier this year a section of 12th Street, from Jarvis Klapman Boulveard down to Knox Abbott Drive, was named Gus Manos Memorial Street in memory of one of the West Columbia restaurant’s late co-owners. While I do love a good Zesto burger and fries, on a recent afternoon visit I went with a chocolate dipped ice cream cone. There’s a reason they have a towering sculpture of it outside, after all. With its solid chocolate shell enveloping the super sweet vanilla ice cream , the dipped cone remains a classic afternoon snack, a reward after soccer practice , or a treat for just about any other occasion. If you liked this suggestion and want to see more like it, you can get my recommendations first in Let’s Dish, Columbia, my weekly newsletter offering restaurant and food news from across Columbia, Lexington and South Carolina.
