Despite going on the Washington County Cheese Tour last Saturday and eating nothing but cheese all day, we decided to find the Ice Cream Man and make a lunch of more dairy. I had read all about the Ice Cream Man from Daniel B’s review on All Over Albany. What is the opposite of disappointed? Because that’s what happened at the Ice Cream Man. I had high expectations, and they were met.

My first trip to Minnesota. First trip to a REAL state fair since California is lacking of them. First time flying and seeing a true lightning storm. And first time seeing real, live deer in a backyard. As you can guess, my first ice cream experience was equally spectacular, if not, mind blowing.

The coconut truffle was beautiful. Nice texture, great flavor, an all around excellent example. This was my first exposure to Knipschildt.

I found out about this place from the Food Network. It was featured on Bobby Flay’s show Throw Down and I decided to give it a try.

Los Barrios has been a favorite since I was a kid and I was thrilled when they opened one closer to me.

Betwixt the icy pops and the creamy pops listed on Las Paletas menu lies another category: the mysterious “other.”

I saw this place on food network and immediately had the biggest craving for cookies. It’s not too far from central park, but I walked right past it the first time I went.

Got the Malnati’s Chicago Classic by delivery. Added mushrooms, onions, and garlic. The sausage was pretty much the size of the pizza. It was great, but kind of wished I went there instead to eat it as the cheese wasn’t as melted as I wanted when I ate it since it got delivered.

Amazingly, this restaurant lived up to the hype. We were on our way from Nashville to Memphis and my husband had read about this place, so we decided to check it out. Fortunately, we had read to call ahead to put our name on the waiting list.

Hey, what’s not to like? When entertaining, the decor helps move the conversation along, and keeps me from having to think of something to say - all I have to do is look up, or around for inspiration.

Make My Cake is one of my favorites. I’ve purchased about 4 cakes from here and they always design them beautifully. I always stick with the red velvet cake, its soooooo good!

Best crispy tacos in San Diego. The del muneco chicken tacos are out of this world and the salsa bar is ridiculous.

Just came here to order carryout. We were greeted by the owner and he offered us some wine. Right off the bat, I new this place was gonna be awesome. The owner and staff were very friendly.

Bloody Mary? why yes thank you! And what’s this?? Well a Miller high life to back it. Yep and its tasty as can be. The Midwest fella who crafts the delish drinks here does you proper.

So I’m from LA and my idea of what soul food is is limited to Roscoe’s. I can’t trust anyone who thinks Melba’s is comparable to Roscoe’s because Roscoe’s is overrated.

I don’t typically indulge in sweets unless it’s a holiday. I purchased a Groupon and figured Father’s Day would be a g reat opportunity to use it. I purchased a lemon/lime blackberry cream pie. It was seasonal so I thought it would be a good choice. I was wrong. It was the PERFECT choice! It was light and amazingly delicious!!! Everyone was impressed and I may have had seconds.

In love withh thisnplace. Amazing service, and the Mozzarella is incredibly fresh, as well as the smoked Mozzarella. I also sat and had the Eggplant Parm, and wow! They also had olive oil tastings, which was nice. Will be back for the eggplant.

This place is the carribean equivalent of Au bon pain - the pastry is delicious and flaky - but don’t bother with the middle of the road interpertations of the regular carribean or french cuisine.

I have never had such amazing Mexican food! We were a party of 7 on a Thursday evening and had a short wait to be seated. We ordered a variety of foods and each one had a very individual flavor. We were all impressed.

Finally, a North End Italian restaurant where the people aren’t full of themselves and the food is good! Went here last night for the first time with some friends and a Living Social voucher. All in all a great experience and a place I will definitely go back to.
