Nick visits The Parlour Ice Cream

[By Nick] On our way back North, we took a detour and stopped at The Parlour in Durham, NC. ‎They came onto my radar from the Thrillist 33 Best Ice Cream Shops in the country (Leopold's is also on the list). There's no way I could pass up the opportunity to check this shop out.

Good Humor Toasted Almond Ice Cream Bar

It's time for more "Tales for the Work Freezer". It's time for a treat that has always intrigued me but considering it's a budget Good Humor treat, it wasn't worth the risk of getting stuck with 6 of them at work (and no way I'm bringing these allergen covered treats home). Let's take a bite of...

Nick visits Leopold's Ice Cream

[By Nick] Knowing that we were going to be near Savannah, I knew we had to stop at Leopold's Ice Cream. This shop has been around since 1919 so they have to be doing something right. We got hooked up with 4 cards for free single scoops of ice cream so we made two stops to the shop.

Smashburger Chocolate Peanut Butter Shake made with Reese's Peanut Butter Sauce

[New for end of August 2015] Hey, I just got back from seeing Jurassic World in IMAX. It's back for a one week engagement and it was very enjoyable, but maybe not as enjoyable as....

Nick visits Little Baby's Ice Cream

[By Nick] On our way down to Georgia, I had to check out at least one scoop shop that's been on my radar. The scoop shop of choice was Little Baby's Ice Cream. You know Little Baby's right? Maybe you know them from one of their viral commercials that might be quite disturbing to some. Anyway, we stopped at their World Headquarters in Philadelphia and got a little tour.

Friendly's Forbidden Chocolate Krunch Sundae Cone

[New for 2014] Good day nosh show listeners! We're going to cheat this week and make my episode 62 nosh of the week today's post. Now the great thing about people knowing that you love ice cream means that when you do someone a favor, often they show their appreciation by picking up something frozen for you. Today's review involves just such an occasion. Without further ado, I give you...

PET Birthday Cake Ice Cream and PET Chocolate Moose Tracks Ice Cream

[By Nick] Let's do another double shot of a brand I can't get up North. This time it's flavors that don't relate because honestly, neither one deserves it's own review.

PET Dairy (a Dean Food's company) seems to be the budget friendly ice cream down here. I can't remember the exact price for the larger containers but I know these pints were less than $2 a piece. My girlfriend and I opted for the pint because we had a strong feeling this brand might not be worth the larger investment. Let's go with the flavor I chose first again.

Mounds Ice Cream Bar Quick Review

[Why does this still say new when it came out in 2012?] Oh man, the joys of when the work freezer gets filled up with four different frozen treats. I feel compelled to try something that I've heard good things about but have been afraid to try because of my non-love for coconut. Ok, my co-worker tried one first and said it's good but not too coconutty, so, here we go........

Private Selection Chocolate Hazelnut Mascarpone and Caramel Hazelnut Fudge Truffle Ice Creams

[By Nick] Seeing as the girly and I are down South, there's no way we weren't trying some of Kroger's offerings. Actually, I was in sensory overload just by the selection of ‎not only Kroger brand flavors but all the flavors of Mayfield as well as Trumoo ice creams that I can't get up North (both are owned by Dean Foods). But we were on a mission and those will have to wait because I've heard amazing things about Kroger's Private Selection line. Now deciding on what to try was a different story. There's just so many options that sounded appealing. However, my girlfriend and I are hazelnut freaks so we had to try out their hazelnut options first.

Cold Stone Creamery Original Sweet Cream Bar

I don't know what it is about the morning commute, but sometimes I really want a nice classic chocolate covered vanilla filled treat. Something simple yet sophisticated and well made... but I don't have any Talenti Vanilla Bean bars right now. Hmmm. Wait, I do have....

7-Eleven GO! Yum Double Cookie Dough Ice Cream

[New for 2015] Now I admit, I really really wanted an ice cream with peanut butter today. I tried going for a walk, but the hot sun just made me more hungry. So, I headed to 7-Eleven, but, well, none of the seven new 7-Select flavors involve peanut butter, and I've already tried the very fun s'mores flavor, so I guess we'll go with....

Haagen-Dazs Spiced Pecan Turtle Ice Cream

[By Nick, for 2015 only] I'm currently getting myself ready to head down on a little vacation to Georgia with the lady (follow me on twitter and instagram to keep up with our adventures). Right now, I believe I have the last of the new Artisan flavors from Haagen-Dazs to cover. Seeing as Georgia is known for pecans, this review seems like a fitting note to head south on!

Target Archer Farms Strawberry Blondie Ice Cream

[2015-2016] Ok, technically I've already tried one new ice cream today, but it's so hot and uncomfortable and I just cant think of anything else I want to eat right now.

Talenti Coconut Chocolate Chip Gelato and Talenti Caribbean Coconut Gelato #9

[By Nick, Exclusive is new for 2015] Seeing as I'm a perfectionist, I had planned to review Talenti's Caribbean Coconut awhile ago. After picking it up and trying it, I learned that Target was getting an exclusive Coconut Chocolate Chip flavor. After months of searching, I finally got my hands on that as well. Let's kill two birds with one stone and review both, starting with the original.

Nestle Butterfinger Dipped Drumsticks

[New for end of 2014] A couple of you have asked for drumstick reviews so I apologize for taking so long. I've gotten in the habit of not bringing drumsticks home anymore because of nuts (and nut cross-contamination), so I've been waiting to snag them from the Target near work. Now for the butterfinger variety, you can buy the 8 pack that also includes a chocolate and fudge filled versions, but since it's just me eating these, I picked up the four pack of...

Dairy Queen ROLO Minis Blizzard

[New for August 2015] To be honest, I'm not sure if the thought of the August blizzard of the month excites me or not. We had that disastrous Rolo McFlurry four years ago plus I didn't have much luck with my own mini rolo sundae either. I guess I'm not stoked by this idea, but I'm not scared either. I mean, it's a DQ blizzard involving candy, so it can't be that bad.

Cold Stone Creamery That's How I Roll Signature Creation Review

Baskin-Robbins Oreo Malt Madness Ice Cream

[New for August 2015] Our go-go-go world has taught us that a new month means new flavors, and while most of the freezer aisle has been plagued with 2014 repeats, Baskin-Robbins has something new for us. They do love toying with Oreo flavors, and now we get...

Coolhaus Mintimalism Ice Cream Sandwich

[By Nick] National Ice Cream Month might have ended yesterday but don't worry, we like to celebrate all year long. Let's take a look at a Coolhaus sandwich I got from the Niskayuna Co-op.
