While cruising through the Hyde Park neighborhood on an ice cream hunt yesterday, I stumbled upon a big blue truck tucked in the nook of a local strip mall. Being the curious consumer I am, I made my way over to find out more. Upon first sight nothing seemed extraordinary about this truck named "Shawn Michelle's Old Fashion Homemade Ice Cream" besides this cute ice cream statue in front. I began to read such flavors as strawberry cheesecake, banana pudding supreme, and Jamaican rum raisin. Wow, this is getting exciting! I opted for the strawberry cheesecake and my friend took the safe route and tasted vanilla. Oh man, this was heaven in a cup! This was what I call "An incredible-edible orgasm." You know you're eating good food when love is named as an ingredient. My ice cream dealer (lol) informed us that the store offers even more flavors, so what do I do? Well duh, I go to the store the next day! Sundae's titled "Stairway to Heaven" and "Barack Obama Special" are just two of many names that will have me going back with a mission to taste everything this one of a kind ice cream shop has to offer! It is a bit more costly than most ice cream but it is well worth it. Sizes do vary from tease cups to gallon tubs. My days of franchise ice cream are officially over.
