Scoop up unusual flavors, even beer, with this ice cream
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Slow Food Atlanta is sponsoring an ice cream tasting from noon to 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 13, after the Peachtree Road Farmers Market closes for the week.
The lineup of churners includes David Larkworthy of 5 Seasons, known for his peanut butter and muscadine grape jelly swirl, as well as rutabaga ice cream; Carmen Cappello of JCL Global Culinary, and Doug Wiggins, owner of Hank’s Ice Cream, will bring Brewery Ommegang’s Three Philosophers Quadrupel With Candied Pecans, Terrapin Rye Pale Ale With Oranges and Mint, and other beer flavors. And Linton Hopkins of Restaurant Eugene will also bring some frozen delights. Slow Food members also may be bringing homemade ice creams to sample.
$5 gets you in. The tasting is in the parking lot of the Cathedral of St. Philip, 2711 Peachtree Road N.W.
If you’re interested in how restaurants are going greener, check out George McKerrow’s interview on Tuesday, Oct. 16 on “Tastebuds,” Beci Falkenberg’s radio talk show. McKerrow started Longhorn Steaks, and now is a partner with Ted Turner in Ted’s Montana Grill. Among other actions, the chain just switched to greener light bulbs, and uses biodegradable straws rather than plastic ones. You can listen to the show at 11 a.m. at the Radio Sandy Springs web site or catch a replay.
