JUST IN: Food Network Names Jeni's America's Best

Above: America's best pints of ice cream, according to the Alton Brown and the fine folk at the Food Network 

The Best Thing I Ever Ate and now America's Best? In one year?

Oh, go on, Food Network.

That's right, friends and fans (and uninitiated readers): tune in to the Food Network at 9 p.m. Thursday Sept. 23 to learn why the stalwart station's speed-talking host Alton Brown has deemed Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams one of "America's best" sweets.

(Additional show times here.)

We'll be watching the proceedings in the Burgundy Room in the Short North where we watched the Food Network's first piece on Jeni's back in 2004 (Roker on the Road). If you're in the area, come out and say hello.

So, thanks a million to our compadres, our customers and our mothers and fathers for bringing us into this world (stole that last bit from a long, lost Michael Jackson Grammy Award acceptance speech). We can't wait to see what the loquacious Mr. Brown has to say about the ice cream our crack kitchen team is cranking out every day for the people and we couldn't be more proud of the latest acknowledgement by the tastemakers at the Food Network.

Cheers!

I saw the show and I am dying to try your ice creams. I live in new jersey. Is there anyway please please please that I can get a taste of your ice creams? I am full term pregnant now and you have just spiked up my craving exponentially :(

Just saw a repeat of the show! Your Ice cream looked amazing!! Living in Louisville here, but travel a ton, and will stop in sometime for sure!! Mmmm!

Amanda: It was Esquire editor Ryan D'Agostino -- the Hot & Spicy episode, starring Queen City Cayenne.

Brinda: (a) we'll ship right to your doorstep, if you like and (b) you can pick up pints at the Gourmet Library in Springfield.

Paul: You can pickup pints locally at Whole Foods!

Here's a treasure map for you both: http://bit.ly/pintmap

I saw the episode that featured you guys, and thanks to that episode, I just ordered four pints from you guys. I'm so excited to get my ice cream next week! I ordered salty caramel, askinosie dark milk chocolate, backyard mint, and sweet corn & black raspberries.

[Ryan Morgan]

Excellent choices, Kat. Thanks for the order -- can't wait to hear more once you get a taste! (P.S. Try a duo with Askinosie + Backyard Mint.)

I got a pint for my birthday and I concur, Queen City Cayenne, is one of the best things I've ever eaten. Congrats!!!
