Gourmets on the Go

$5 per scoop

Add Smitten Ice Cream to “raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens.”

Smitten Radio Flyer and Ice Cream.jpgSmitten Ice Cream just launched to long lines and rave reviews. The classic, old-fashioned treat with a contemporary twist, Smitten starts with the basics of milk, cream, sugar, and a dash of salt. There’s no need for any unpronounceable ingredients since each batch goes from churn to scoop to spoon… made-to-order just for you. The inaugural concoction… salted homemade caramel. Overheard comments include “I don’t even like ice cream and I love this.”

Don’t let the Radio Flyer cart fool you, this ain’t your grandma’s old-fashioned ice cream… unless your grandma was a Nobel Prize-winning chemist. Through a process nothing short of magical, each batch is churned to perfection with a few blasts of liquid nitrogen. The options for the flavor du jour are limitless… fresh fruit from the morning’s farmer’s market to toasted nuts to Kahlua-infused ice cream.

Name the liquid nitrogen contraption (shown in the photo above), and the winner will be treated to a catered ice cream event anywhere reachable by Radio Flyer wagon. Submit entries by tweeting @SmittenIceCream.

Pizza Hacker Franken-Weber.jpgBefore your cool down with ice cream, you might want to warm up with some oven fresh pizza. Jeff’s souped up “Franken-Weber” grill reaches temps upwards of 1,000 degrees… hot enough to bake the “homespun” dough to a golden brown in under 4 minutes. Beat that Domino’s! His divine Margherita pizza features a “locally-grown, single varietal, organic, heirloom tomato sauce” topped off with buffalo mozzarella and freshly-torn basil.

Toasty Melts

$3 – $4 per melt

Ever frustrated by the restaurant that won’t let you order off the kid’s menu? Well, harness your youth and track down @ToastyMelts. Keep it simple with the “Original” a smoked gouda + white cheddar + jack grilled cheese… or graduate to the “ABC’s” with the Fuji apple + bacon + cheddar toasted melt.



Till next time!
