no gelato's? gelato's paradiso's chocolate chip is the best ice cream i've ever had... too bad it's so expensive.

it's like $4 for a small 5 oz. cup, $5 for a 6 oz. i think

the mom and pops out in the middle of nowhere are always the best (good taste, huge portions)

At home. We have an ice cream maker and my gf can whip up some killer stuff. Thing is you usually have to finish whatever you make within the week because there aren't a whole bunch of preservatives and the like, but that hasn't been a problem for us. :)

amy's is bad ass, but i always feel so... full after going there... the ice cream is really heavy... i think the best ice cream i've had was at taos cow in taos, nm. but i can't get there easily.

HEB is a pretty good place to stock up too.

Le Mars, Iowa, the Ice Cream Capital of the World (self-proclaimed). Home of Wells' Blue Bunny Dairy, where I worked for a summer four years ago. They have a visitors' center with an ice cream shoppe that gives these huge protions for low cost, and the place is always packed. Every time I go home to my folks house I try and get over to that place. Blue Bunny ice cream is the bomb!:D
