Brooklyn NY – Walt Whitman penned the words “I too lived – Brooklyn, of ample hills, was mine”  back when Brooklyn was ample hills, valleys and livestock. 

 

Today not so much, but the carefree and relaxed feeling of old has returned to the Empire State.

 

Located at 623 Vanderbilt Ave, the store is in the epicenter of food and culture in the Brooklyn area. Brian and Jacquie Smith opened the store earlier this year with a plan to make ice cream from scratch and teach the process to their customers. Their open batch room is a testament to their passion for ice cream and their willingness to share the process. 

 

But its not only flavors that make them unique.  Try a salted buttered caramel slushee or a custom made spiral cone and you will realize what a unique ice cream experience the Smiths offer their customers.  For more information on Ample Hills, go to their website at www.amplehills.com

St Louis Missouri – Ice Cream Eating in the summer has always been a family activity in St Louis.  The hot steamy conditions are perfect for a cool creamy treat.

But add to that treat a 2 minute time limit, no utensils of any kind except your face, and a wild and screaming gallery and you have yourself an Ice Cream Eating competition.  Mr C’s Ice Cream Emporium, the Ice Cream Blokes Ice Cream base held their inaugural contest over the Memorial Day weekend and the final was held the week after.  And boy did the crowds turn out.  After 8 hotly contested heats, 8 finalists fronted up with their eyes on the prize and they didn’t disappoint.

Did little Billy take on the big guns and win it all? Does green hair give you the upper edge? Does tag team eating with your brother give what it takes to take awy the cup.  Press play and all will be revealed.
