San Francisco is cool, but right now, Chicago is HOT! We know its been a while, so we thought its time for another great guest postfrom Parties That Cooks awesome Chicago team. City manager, Brandy, take it away:
Its been one of the hottest Chicago Junes on record so bring on the ice cream, gelato and custard! I polled our lead chefs to see where they go to cool off and enjoy some sweet treats.
When Chef David isnt working at Girl & The Goat, he gets his fix at Black Dog Gelato. They offer a great selection of out-of-the-ordinary flavors like goat cheese+caramel+cashews or brown butter+bourbon. He also loves Black Dog because its truly a home grown Chicagobusiness.
Chef Liz, our chef in the burbs, raves about All Chocolate Kitchen in Geneva. According to Liz, they have the best Gelato outside of Italy! I dont doubt her All Chocolate Kitchens gelato is made fresh everyday using natural and artisan ingredients. Swing by for a taste of Stracciatella, vanilla with chocolate traces, Pistachio from the region of Bronte, or a sweet Passionfruit. Yum!
Chef Heidis favorite spot, Ollies Frozen Custard,is close to her hometown in DeKalb. She used to go with her parents and now brings her children! Heidis pick for the best menu item is Black Raspberry Custard, but you have to go on Saturday to get that famous flavor. If youre a chocolate lover, the Turtle Sundae is TDF (high five for anyone who correctly guesses that acronym). All summer long, the custard is served up by local high school students to a long, winding line of dedicated patrons. They tough it out even while being attacked by relentlessmosquitoes! City dwellers who make the journey: If you cant get enough of Ollies on the spot, theyll pack a quart on ice to take home!
My favorite spot is the famous Margies Candies. My parents took me there as a kid after White Sox games, and the whole family would share one of their Jumbo Creations. Oh, memories of the Turtle Tummy Buster Five scoops of Margies Famous Ice Cream and a Turtle on top. Over the top? Yes. Worth the 30 minutes wait? Yes. Delish? Oh, yes! I even hear the joint has been visited by Al Capone, and after performing at Comiskey Park,The Beatles dropped by with dates and enjoyed Margies Atomic Buster Sundaes a fruit and fudge delight. Nice choice, fellas.
Heres to a long summer of spooning up some of the best!
Thanks for that fun round-up, Brandy! Im sure mouths are now watering and ice cream cravings have been sparked! Now Im off to see if theres some way to incorporate ice cream into our cooking classes in Chicago! Date Night, maybe? Brews & Bites?? Cupcake Wars?!
