While not ice cream, Chris Cosentino's bay leaf panna cotta is awesome. I would love to see more savory desserts on menus. Sure there may be some overzealous chefs overreaching their experiments, I don't see why chefs can't experiment with, and we can't experience, new flavors. Chefs, never stop exploring and showing us new techniques and flavors.

As with all rules, there are exceptions. If you haven't tried the Amish Cheddar Shortcake at Ssäm Bar, you're missing out. Christina Tosi is a mad genius. Ham Cream!

Wait a sec Ed, you rail against savory desserts and ice creams and then say the olive oil gelato is good? Isn't that a bit contradictory? I'd say olive oil gelato is a savory dessert, but a delicious one! None the less, I agree with you. I'm tired of pastry chefs trying too hard to be different and weird rather than making a really amazing sweet bite with which to end my meal.
