Let's Travel to Columbus Ohio...for Jeni's Ice Cream

Have you heard of Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream? Last summer my cousin-in-law Brianna, a Columbus resident told me about it's amazingness. This summer I was properly introduced at Whole Foods to the Jeni's Signature flavors: Dark Chocolate, the Milkiest Chocolate in the World, and the Buck Eye State.  Last weekend I traveled to the Columbus home of Jeni's and partook in all of it's Splendor.

The board might be a little hard to read, but clearly there are a lot of choices.

One of the best things about Jeni's is that they encourage you to try as many as you want. I tried a few...Queen City Cayenne (the extremely nice guy fetching all of these samples told me that this was the ice cream that convinced Jeni to drop out of Ohio State and make ice cream - clearly it's that good - but warning it does finish with a real kick), Salty Caramel, Riesling Poached Pear Sorbet, Askinosie Dark Milk Chocolate, Black Coffee (local coffee cold brewed with the cream used to make the ice cream, zero bitterness, amazing) Loveless Biscuits and Peach Jam (based on the biscuits and jam from the famous Loveless Cafe in Nashville - the most intriguing flavor I had), Lemon and Blueberry frozen yogurt (super refreshing)... Yes, I tried a few. 

I finally chose the double toasted coconut paired with the Askinosie Dark Milk Chocolate.

Such a fun vibe.

Of course I couldn't stop at one visit to Jeni's. This time I went with the Lemon and Blueberry Frozen Yogurt.

Not only is the ice cream amazing, but they even make fresh waffle cones!

Just when I thought my Jeni's experiences were over I found this Machine of Goodness at the Columbus airport on my way home. 

And this came out...

And it was delicious. Thank you Columbus and Jeni's for amazing ice cream.
