Hey guys,
I don't know if you guys all saw this, but there's an article on the front page of MSN.COM right now that talks about the top 9 ice cream places in the US. Before I clicked on the link, I was telling myself how awesome it would be if they listed Jeni's (because really, there is no better icecream!). Thus I clicked the link, and there's a mention in the article! They also have Graeter's on there. So...+2 for Ohio.

The direct link is:

Anyway, congrats to Jeni's! I love it when stuff like this gets national attention.

Very cool, thanks for posting.

Well deserved recognition for Jeni and her marvelous ice cream.

My mom also read about Jeni's in a magazine -- something like "Midwest Living?" I don't remember the title.

I was happy to see the MSN article mention goat cheese and cherry -- my favorite flavor.

Jeni's was recently in Food and Wine, Cafe Corner was in Bon Appetit. My parents were REALLY happy to come here last week to feast.

Columbus is the ice cream capital of the world and we always place at least one if not two Columbus shops in any top ten list. And Ohio usually gets 2-3 out or any top ten list.

I agree, it really is the ice cream capital. You can get basically anything you could want between Jeni's, Graeters, and another one of my favorite's Denises on north high street!

I'm really craving ohio sweet corn icecream right now, too bad its not the right season :(. In my head its always the season for that flavor!

The only ice cream place that I occassionally think about outside of Ohio is Lapert's in Hawaii. Has anyone been here? They've got some really great flavors (a lot of them with macadamia nuts!). It's pretty expensive though.

University of Wisconsin makes some great ice cream (and cheese) at their Dairy school.

Does OSU do anything simular?

Interesting that Ohio's (Youngstown) Handels wasn't mentioned. Better than Graeter's, IMO. They made Natural Geographic's 10 Best of Everything for ice creams in the world a few years ago.

Awesome stuff.

Handel's is a-freakin-mazing. I never thought Graeter's was anything special at all though...just kinda...hey guys...look at all these flavors we can put big disgusting chocolate chunks in! Blech.
Where are the Handel's around here? I used to trek up to the one nearly in Powell. Is it still around?

Nevermind...I seee. :)

Furthermore, I'm kinda dying for some Jeni's pistachio honey and some gravel road now.

For those of you on twitter, you can follow Jeni's now -- not just Jeni or Charly (they each have their own individual accounts, still) -- at twitter.com/jenisicecreams.

Yummy.
