What's Your Favorite Local Ice Cream?
I'd have to go with Sippin Soda in the Hammmmmmmmmptons (make sure to life your nose when saying it for total snootiness). They make a great banana ice cream that can save my day.

Call me old school, but a Mister Softee vanilla cone with rainbow sprinkles still makes me openly weep. Oh and if they change that jingle I'm going on a hunger strike....or maybe just a protest.
Cook the Book Giveaway: 'Peace, Love, and Barbecue'
While I love the brisket (the burnt little cracklins being the absolute best) it’s pork that whet’s this man’s whistle. Pulled pork with a flavorful sauce (tomato based) in a crunchy roll, maybe a little slaw in there….hmmm, that turkey sandwich for lunch doesn’t quite cut it now does it?
Win Two Passes to the Big Apple Barbecue Party
NYC's R.U.B. has some fantastic burnt brisket, enough to make my mouth water.
I’m a sucker for Ash Creek Saloon in Bridgeport CT. I’ve been eating those ribs for years, and they’ve always treated me right.
My favorite though is Red Hot & Blue is the Roslyn section of Virginia, right across the Key bridge. Many heart attacks occurred in that place.
Bruni Reviews Katz's: "Enemies Change. The Appetite for Sausage Doesn't"
I still haven’t been to Katz’s, but plan on popping over there for a bite this weekend; I can’t really feel like a New Yorker without at least one sandwich.
I know that Bruni reviewing Katz’s was more to save the place than anything else,with the rumors that it was going under, but someone (can’t remember which blog) made the argument that he should have just written an article, rather than a review; it’s like giving a review of your grandmother’s cooking, you just don’t do it.
I’ll have to try a dog when I’m there, I can’t imagine it being better than a Boar’s Head dog, they’re the best of the best!

Chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream over a warm brownie or nice warm chocolate chip cookie. Mmmmmmmmmmmm...

Besides the usual NY faves (Il Lab, Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory), I love Creole Creamery in New Orleans. It's an old-fashioned ice cream parlor with flavors like chocolate breakfast (with maple syrup flavoring), creole creamcheese, lavender honey. They usually don't ship their ice cream, but they might if you beg.

White chocolate gelato makes my stomach rumble with happiness. It's even better with a few bits of hazelnut or bittersweet.

Coconut ice cream from the old Gifford's in Washington, DC. Shreddd fresh coconut held together with just a bit of sweet cream vanilla. None better and now a just a sweet nostalgic dream. A close second - chocolate frozen custard from the Polar Bear stands, also in Washington, DC, also long gone.

Jeni's in Columbus, OH. Amazing.
I would also say Grater's from Cincinnati, OH. It is made in the French pot method with homemade chocolate chips.

Concretes from Ted Drewes Frozen Custard stand in St Louis are completely irresistible! Ditto profiteroles made with the richest homemade ice cream and hot fudge.
