Battle #3 is all about ice cream. It's the end of the summer here in MN and soon my appetite for this cool and creamy treat will diminish in direct proportion to the growth of the snowbanks that line all the streets. For years I have firmly believed that there was no competition in this realm -
Izzy's Ice Cream was it. Done. No conversation needed. From the first taste of Black Cherry Chocolate Chunk ice cream that my husband bought me on our first date, all other ice cream joints have ceased to exist. Now I have been led to believe that there is a serious contender located nearby in St. Paul -
Lynden's Soda Fountain. Who can blame me - whenever I'm on that block all I see is The Nook, with its outrageously good hamburgers and fries. Yet my co-worker Tara(who is arguably MN's premiere expert on ice cream) assures me Lynden's is the place to go.
So once again, I'm looking for Twin Cities eaters to head to these two joints, and put them to the test. This battle is a bit different though...I won't specify the flavors, you can pick - just make sure the glorious dishes of creamy goodness have enough in common to be compared to each other!
