Aussie Ice Cream

July 29th, 2010

Sydney Australia – Steve returns to his roots in the first of four episodes filmed in and around Australia. From the beach to the barbie, theres a lot of ground here to cover.

Steve’s first visit is to the Foodservice Australia Show at Darling Harbor on the shores the majestic Sydney Harbor.  All that is new and newsworthy in the food industry happens here, and Ice Cream plays strong part in the aussie culture. Steve visits with Sarah from Serendipity Ice Cream and Laura from Alpino Gelato, two of Australia’s ice cream companies that have stood the test of over 50 years of ice cream making.

Both companies showcased their newest and favoritest ice cream for Steve and the adoring public to sample.  Be sure to tune in next week to see the biggest pineapple youve ever laid your eyes on.

Jacksonville Florida – I guess it’s not the playground of the rich and famous, but it definitely is a playground non the less. Jackson sports some of the greatest beaches and family friendly activities around.  And if you need a good dose of the classic south, Savannah Georgia is only a couple of hours away.  We found this little gem in Jacksonville, and although its not the hoity toity ice cream stores we have filmed in the past, The Dreamette certainly holds its place in Ice Cream royalty.  Any store that can survive 50 years of  change in the marketplace is right up there in my books.

The Dreamette serves up good soft serve, has reasonable prices and the staff are as friendly as they come.  What more could you ask for?  An upside down banana split I hear you ask?  Well they even have one of those. 

Located at 3646 Post St, Jacksonville, this little walk up store is in an area that Jacksonville forgot – but you wont, after a trip to The Dreamette.
