In addition to Farm Aid next month in Hershey, Penn., we have some delicious travel plans on the horizon.
Dead ahead: a full slate of scooping events in New York, beginning with Meatopia on Saturday.
Founded by omnivore extraordinaire Josh Ozerksy, the festival of meats prepared by chefs from around the world will take place on Randall's Island. "Meat*Drink*Fire*Music" is the motto and we can't wait to be a part of something The New Yorker called "a carnivorous bacchanal."
We're expecting to face a crowd of more than 3,500 hungry people, and our Mobile Dipping Division will be ready to scoop and serve all comers.
On our menu: Yazoo Sue with Rosemary Bar Nuts ice cream (pic below) and Rainbow Frozen Yogurt.
The former—a limited-edition, nut-jammed number available soon in our scoop shops and jenis.com—is a collaboration with the great Yazoo Brewing Company, which is near our East Nashville shop. The latter, an eye-popping, super-creamy, and tangy Meatopia exclusive, features Raspberry, Lemon, and Passion Fruit frozen yogurts.
Meatopia, an eater's eden in N.Y.C.—sounds like the only place to be on a Saturday in September.
Above: Yazoo Sue with Rosemary Bar Nuts ice cream—where Yazoo Brewing Company's smoked porter beer, Snowville Creamery's grass-grazed cream, and fistfulls of mixed nuts (roasted with rosemary, brown sugar, salt, and cayenne in our kitchen) become one. Going to be at Meatopia? Be sure to step up and get a scoop.
I'm sorry I no longer live in NYC as that bar nuts ice cream looks reee-diculous. Thanks for making my mouth water. Now I have to scrounge around here and see what frozen concoction I may have at hand.
