“Kevin Costner’s Perfect Taste: A Banana Milkshake from Cook Out”

Superstar actor Kevin Costner has officially joined the ranks of Cook Out fans. With his signature mustache and an iconic styrofoam cup in hand, Costner took a sip of a banana milkshake from the beloved North Carolina fast-food chain and proclaimed it “perfect.” In an Instagram ad promoting his latest Western epic, “Horizon: An American Saga,” which hit theaters this week, Costner conducted a taste test of banana milkshakes across various American cities. While he didn’t explicitly name Cook Out’s milkshake as the best, his smile spoke volumes.

The video reveals that Costner is quite the banana milkshake enthusiast. He sampled the Cook Out version in Atlanta, though the exact timing of the taste test remains unclear. Notably, Cook Out has also been a favorite stop for President Joe Biden during previous visits to Raleigh and Durham. Costner is well-acquainted with North Carolina’s culinary scene, having starred as Crash Davis in the Oscar-nominated film “Bull Durham,” which was shot in Durham.

In the Instagram clip, it’s evident that some time has passed since Costner ordered his milkshake; it has melted enough to be easily sipped through a straw. Typically, enjoying a Cook Out milkshake requires a spoon, so this detail adds to the charm of his experience.
