Eater.com Heat Map to the 16 best ice cream shops in the US currently
Happy Labour Day weekend good foodie friends….
Here is another great list of great spots brought to us by Eater.com, thank you Eater for another must do list of spots to try….
It’s been a great summer and its still hot out there….Eater.com has come up with a list of great spots for you to try while on your travels…. And lets be honest, who doesn’t love ice cream?!
Words from the Eater.com writer:
“It’s hot out there, and as you celebrate your last long weekend of Summer 2013, you may be inclined to get some ice cream. Eater has rounded up 16 worthy ice cream candidates that opened across the country over the past year or so, and you have a wide array of options.”
“Like ice cream sandwiches? Head to the Baked Bear in San Diego to get custom built ones. Floats? How about Michael White’s the Butterfly in New York City? Boozey ice cream? Fifty Licks in Portland. Gelato? The Art of Flavors in Las Vegas. Crazy flavors? Izzy’s in Minneapolis is your best bet. Any possible combination of cupcakes and ice cream (cupcake sundaes, cupcake sandwiches, cupcake shakes, cupcake etc.)? Sprinkles Ice Cream in Dallas. And the list goes on.”
Below, the Eater National Ice Cream Heatmap. Any obvious omissions, head to the comments. And have a happy Labor Day weekend.

1051 W MADISON ST, CHICAGO, IL 60607
(312) 666-5111

8.
IZZY’S ICE CREAM St. Paul’s favorite ice creamery has expanded to Minneapolis. Izzy’s goes deep with dozens of flavors, including classics (butter pecan), new spins (burnt caramel), and mysterious flavors that must be tried to be understood (Swedish garden party? “Spongebob”?).
1100 2ND ST S, MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55415
(612) 206-3356
9.
KUMA SNOW CREAM This is not technically ice cream: Kuma (Japanese for “polar bear”) serves creamy shaved ice in five flavors including mango, kuma snow, taro, strawberry, and green tea. Owner Jet Tila has eyes on expansion, with locations in New York and Los Angeles already planned.

8413 PRESTON CENTER PLAZA DRIVE, UNIVERSITY PARK, TX
2143634050
14.
SWEET COW The second location of this Louisville creamery took a big leap by entering the Denver market. Success there (along with ice cream flavors that veer more traditional than wild, though they include things like sweet corn and strawberry margarita) means the nascent ice cream chain already has its eyes on expanding to Boulder.
3475 W 32ND AVE, DENVER, CO 80211

Meyer lemons are a treat and seasonal so when you see them, buy them!
This little gem is well known as
the chefs choice
A Meyer lemon is not as tart as a lemon and not as sweet as an orange. In fact the Meyer is a cross between a lemon and a mandarin orange.
What is a Meyer lemon and where did it come from?
The Meyer lemon flesh is a light orange-yellow color, with juice sweeter than that of most lemons. This compact dwarf citrus tree grows well in most U.S. climates, but is not often commercially cultivated. The main reason for this is its…
