What Is Superman Ice Cream?
I know specifically the Baskin-Robbins near the University of Kentucky Campus carried Superman in the mid to late 80's, because I remember thinking it was way cool as a kid.
Kings Island near Cincy also has a blue flavored ice cream stand over by the kid's area, to the right of the Eiffel Tower as you're looking toward the back of the park. Or at least they did for a long time, I assume it's still there. Holiday World in Santa Claus, Indiana also has blue ice cream but doesn't taste quite the same as the Kings Island variety.

Best pizza ever.
And great, I have the day off today and now I'm considering making the drive down thanks to this video. Although I guess I could still take the shorter trip over to the Manchester branch.

A Father's Office Burger for Father's Day
After reading about Father's Office back when it was first a buzz worthy burger place I came up with my own method for that sort of bacon/onion compote. Here's a picture of mine on Flickr. Super good stuff.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: D'Artagnan Boneless Heritage Ham
I like to go sweet for the condiment, so probably a sweet mustard or even honey-mustard.
The bread must be soft and smooshy - how about a small, fresh baked southern biscuit? Small so I can eat three or four of 'em.
Is This the Worst Food Porn Photo on the Web?
See, it's gross because it looks like a wok full of runny poop.
In Videos: Susan Powter Eats a Pear
Bit of a typo here - that's not Susan Powter, its clearly Chris Crocker.
Apples: Take 'Em or Leave 'Em?
There are few things better than a nice, ripe, juicy, sweet apple. Honeycrisps are where it's at.
PBJ Debate: Jelly-Side Up or Down?
PB on both sides so the J doesn't make it soggy. Like shale.
Bill Clinton and Barack Obama Ate Where?!?
He could have at least picked a better chain if he was gonna pick a chain. Maybe I've had bad luck but my one experience with Cosi sucked big time.
Los Angeles Area Burger Roundup
This Connecticut by way of Kentucky boy got his first taste of In-N-Out in March of this year and I've been hit with cravings ever since. Ridiculously good.

Blogwatch: I Want This Slice Now
That looks absolutely divine. Sometimes a really good photograph magically turns into an incredible photograph that just makes me want to lick my computer screen. Wow.

Yes, that well kept secret of tacos. A crunchy taco shell.
What Are Your Favorite Kitchen Tools?
Microplane. I don't get to use it all the time but I feel so chef-y when doing so.
Dinner Tonight: Roasted Beet Salad
At first I was like...Hey! Where's the beets? And then I read the post and realized they were those gorgeous yellow kind. Beets are a much varied and beautiful thing.
'Next Food Network Star' Runner-Up Lisa Garza Also Handed Her Own Show
I caught the show here and there when nothing else was on...she seemed like the best of the bunch to me, but really, it wasn't exactly an incredibly high bar to jump over. I guess having a contest full of disasters is better TV than having everyone do well.
Is Whole Foods Becoming Costco with a Side Order of Trader Joe's?
I have two WF stores very near me for most of my work and school. I go for lunch and usually cringe at what I pay, but I find that I can still cook meals for multiple people at home affordably and with good quality ingredients. It's just that damn salad bar at lunch that kills me, I can spend $9 for lunch on myself or $15 for an awesome dinner at home for 4 people.
Cook the Book: Bobby Flay's Grill It!
I'd probably pick Paula, not because I think it would be the best meal possible, but just because she seem so personable and I probably wouldn't freak out or be intimidated by her, haha. Like I would love to have Mario come over but I'd probably be a mess.
Dear Slice: Thanks for the Tip on New Haven
Totally cliche and yet still totally true: there are pizzas, and there is Pepe's. The original in New Haven is still like something else entirely, something that transcends pizza-dom and just becomes something so delicious it's almost other worldly. I turn into a drooling, inarticulate eating machine as soon as I enter the doors.
Cereal Quiz
I took this yesterday and got 16/20.
And then my buddy the cereal fiend got a 16/20. Hrmm.
Is it Rude to Eat on Mass Transit?
I don't think I'd care. There's enough other things to worry about, I might find it slightly annoying or something but I doubt it would really bother me.
What did used to drive me nuts was in school. There was a class I took a few years ago, one of my classmates ate a full meal every other class. It was crazy. I mean have some snacks or a soda or whatever but she would come to class with containers full Mexican takeout. Totally distracting.
In Season: Blueberries
I just bought a pint from Lyman Orchard near me. I think a Blueberry Buckle is going to be good for half of them.
Genius Junk Foods: Six Foods and Drinks that Deserve an Immediate Pardon
I myself have switched a lot of my snacking (which I try to limit anyway) to pork rinds instead of other chip-like and cracker-like snacks. I'm certainly not on any sort of low-carb diet overall but the nutrition on the back of the package speaks pretty well for pork rinds, like the article points out, and it's more easy for me to be satisfied from a handful of pork rinds than I would be from a handful of greasy chips or something similar.
What Is Superman Ice Cream?
I spotted this flavor offering at an ice cream store in Annapolis, MD. SUPERtasty, though that was the first time.
What Is Superman Ice Cream?
I love Superman Ice Cream and my boyfriend from New York thought it sounded disgusting. He went for a walk one time while in Michigan and stopped at Strohl's for an ice cream and decided to give Super Rainbow (named changed because of copyrights) a try and loved it. BTW Strohl's flavors are SUPER RAINBOW—Blue moon, red pop, and lemon ice creams swirled together. A gallon that I bought stated Blue moon, Banana, and Raspberry. So I think it depends on where you buy it and they do taste slightly different. Though I think the Blue moon is the key flavor and over powers the others a little, so the difference is not that noticable. I will post any other flavors I see posted on the ice creams. And for those who never had it you do not realize what you are missing.
What Is Superman Ice Cream?
All of my friends in NC think I am absolutely CRAZY! There is a sweet shop in Boone/Blowing Rock (the mountains) that sells it and no matter what I have to have it when I visit there! I walked down the street when it was snowing with a waffle cone filled with it! I haven't lived in MI in years and nobody anywhere else I have been seems to know about it. My friends in NC also think it is disgusting- but they didn't like Faygo Redpop either so what do yhry know? Ha, they just don't have the refined taste buds that those of us who were born/lived in MI have :)
America's Regional Hot Dog Styles
I have eaten Hot dogs on 5 continents and almost 1/2 of America, probably about 150 cities in my travels. I would have to say none so far even compare to Rhode Island's, their "Hot Weiner" all the way are the best! They are small mild hot dogs served on a steamed bun with some kind of meat sauce, mustard, onions and celery salt! Addictive...I eat about 6 when I go to RI.
In Rhode Island they also sold hot dogs in the raw at the market under the brand "Saugy's" and these were the best I have ever bought, very mild, made with veal,pork and beef with a snap from the natural casing. I have a friend who ships them to me in Florida. You can also buy the New York System's Weenie Meat Sauce online at www.olneyvillenysystem.com and make them at home. It is easy to make and tastes like the real thing, I use the Saugy's brand with this meat sauce and I think it might even be better! You make them in this order..place dog in fresh steamed bun, a generous amount of plain yellow mustard, then top with a heaping pile of the meat sauce, then top that with the finely diced onions and shake some celery salt on top. Do not forget the celery salt on top..it's important. You'll Love it!

I'm from southern california and they used to sell it everywhere in the 1990s but I recently tried to find it but no one has it and there also used to be a loony tunes brand knock off of the superman icecream but I still can't find either
Blogger: Frank Pepe's 'Overrated, Overhyped, Awful'
Just visited Pepe's again...and Modern. Agree that the clam pie at Pepe's is great. The others, though.....aren't. In fact, they're way down the list on my criteria. Sort of tasteless....and laboriously chewy.
Though Modern's crust is floppier, the taste of their "red" pies is quite memorable, and delicious. Their clam pie suffers by comparison (the fresh clams at Pepe's are unbeatable on a pie.) IMO.
What Is Superman Ice Cream?
You can get Superman Ice Cream at Kilwins in Asheville, NC as well as Gatlinburg, TN. It is awesome. MY neice picked it out for herself - she is 4. When I saw it I knew I had to try it - I am 36. It was fantastic! This is my new favorite.
Blogger: Frank Pepe's 'Overrated, Overhyped, Awful'
Clam pie at Pepe's is my favorite food on the planet. Clams, garlic, herbs on that wonderfully thin and charred crust transports me to heaven every time.
The tomato pie is also stellar. And when I must have Mooz, the bacon and onion and pepperoni's also good. I've got a standards that I stick too.
What Is Superman Ice Cream?
At summer camp in NY state (dutchess county) we had something that sounds pretty similar, but called it "CRAZY VANILLA". 20 years later, and an ocean away, I dream about it..

I agree, I think the lamb's an awesome idea for those of us who like a little game in our meat. Bravo!
What Is Superman Ice Cream?
Growing up in Michigan, I almost always got superman ice cream when I had ice cream as a kid. There is something about the flavor and the visual appeal.
My tastes may have gravitated more towards chocolate in general now, however whenever I visit Michigan I always get a scoop of superman with a scoop of brownie nut fudge. I call it "The Tammy", named after a friend who was the first to try this daring (yet delicious!) combination.
What Is Superman Ice Cream?
mmmmmmmmmm superman ice-cream .... so good.... my mom would cringe when ever I ordered it because she knew she would have to deal with blue stained clothes and blue stained children.....
Boy I just got a craving for some after reading this..... time to go in search of some.....
What Is Superman Ice Cream?
I didn't realize that Superman icecream was just a Michigan thing. I grew up in metro Detroit and I just asked my husband (a native Pennsylvanian) if he had ever heard of it. A resounding "no" (along with a "that sounds really gross!) He sure missed out!
A Father's Office Burger for Father's Day
Actually, looking at the picture and having had an FO burger, Brad got really close. Adding the lamb is a good idea. You also could buy some dry-aged ribeye and grind it in a food processor. Cool story!
What Is Superman Ice Cream?
@ kimonkey- Im pretty sure they have purple cows still. I have not eaten there, but in the Meijers near my house there is a little ice cream shop called Purple Cow.
I feel sorry for the people who have never had the luxury of eating superman.
What Is Superman Ice Cream?
Columbus, OH had the Superman stuff, too. My little brother loved it. It tasted like a berry-flavored bubble gum and was so injected with food coloring, I'm sure it would turn any body part it came in contact with blue for the rest of the day. My Mom was a saint for allowing my brother to get it.
What Is Superman Ice Cream?
Being from the East Coast, I have never heard of Superman Ice Cream but it sounds tempting. Does anyone know if they make Superman Ice Cream Cake? I think that may be a good combination.
What Is Superman Ice Cream?
I am from Alpena Michigan and now live in southern Nevada. I tell everyone about superman ice cream and they all think Im nuts! I can't believe it is so hard to find out here. I haven't had any luck so far...
What Is Superman Ice Cream?
Hey, just thought I'd drop in to say that Superman Ice cream is well represented down here in Georgia--at least at a few establishments here in Savannah. My little brother loves the stuff.
What Is Superman Ice Cream?
As a child growing up in Michigan, if I didn't order chocolate, it was ALWAYS either Blue Moon or Purple Cow. Meijer stores (back in the day it was called Meijer Thrifty Acres) used to have HUGE ice cream counters near the entrance, and I always shopped happily with blue or purple lips/clothing. It would be hard to name a flavor for either color. It was simply sweet and cold and creamy and, above all, PRETTY.
What Is Superman Ice Cream?
As a native Michigander I had no idea that this was a Michigan thing! I love Blue Moon and I wish I could find it over here in Australia. I wonder if my mom could ship it over...
What Is Superman Ice Cream?
We had something like this when I was a kid called "Mickey Mouse", which had chocolate ice-cream ears and eyes, a vanilla "rest-of-the-face", and a "chocolate" gumball for a nose. I can't say that the "chocolate" tasted like chocolate, or the "vanilla" tasted vanilla.

kdroste... It's at Scoops in Ludlow.

I grew up on the Jersey shore-- 2 hours from New York City, you can find Superman Ice cream at Sundae Times in Spring Lake.
