Ice-cream posts on Food in Mouth

At some point in my life, instead of going to the school that was a five minute bike ride away from my house, I got bussed into an inner city school in order to learn English more easily. Little did I or my parents know, all I needed wasn’t a special teacher, but just five things to learn English: Leonardo, Donatello, Rafael, Michaelangelo and Lavar Burton. One that thing I saw about the inner city school was that during recess, double dutch was a thing. It was never so in the suburbs where we lived. Made me think that sometimes, some things just are how they are. You can’t fuck with it. That’s one thing I think hipsters in Brooklyn love to do, because that’s our on-demand economy. Disrupt some shit. Do something you don’t normally do, but sometimes it doesn’t always work. Such as Ample Hill’s summer ice cream sandwich. It just wasn’t cohesive, and I don’t give a fuck what any whitey tells you…. [Continue reading]

About a week after returning from France, I was eager to try the newest ice cream fad in New York – 10 Below Ice Cream. We walked by but the line was out of the door and I just gave up on that. But my ice cream loving belly was not to be deterred and we went back a week later, and I guess the trick was that we arrived before noon. If you haven’t heard of 10 Below before, basically the ice cream is made in front of you. That sounds kind of crazy but they seem to have these anti-griddles that freeze liquids really fast and they do that a la minute. The lines out the door? It’s because it takes time to make each order…. [Continue reading]

The other day Steph told me about a new ice cream place that opened in Brooklyn, and how it had started as a home delivery kind of service. They’re called Milkmade and the woman behind it even went on the Rachel Ray show, so I guess it’s a thing. It’s always bad when there’s probably housewives in Omaha that knows more about Brooklyn ice cream than I do…. [Continue reading]

Weather flashes before our eyes and we’re usually too caught up in work and are blinded to that fact. Ice cream season has started again, since the New York Spring pulled its usual disappearing act of barely appearing. We hit up Luca and Bosco’s because it was mentioned in a NYTimes ice cream sandwich guide. Leave it to me to forget it was Ligaya Mishan’s favorite ice cream sandwich when it was time to order. I couldn’t trust my memory nor the possibility of disappointment, so I went with a single scoop…. [Continue reading]

Damn you iPhone 6. Every time I walk by the store, there’s a line of Chinese immigrants standing outside. Sure, I’m guilty of stereotyping them, but if the ones in front of the Apple store barely speak English and basically stand there to sell their phones to middle men who then sell it in China. For now, we wait for the Chinese market to be satisfied first? How many people over there could possibly want to pay 3x, which is 2100 dollars for a phone? I’m just not sure…. What I am sure about is that even though today is the first day of Autumn, it’s still good time to eat ice cream. After eating smoked whitefish donburi at Ivan Ramen Slurp Shop, we walked 10 seconds around the corner to Jenni’s ice cream, which had a popup at the Gotham West Market…. [Continue reading]
