More praise for Jeni's Ice Cream from a national outlet:
imagine the pleasures of that mint from your backyard in ice cream form. Think of a dessert whose flavor perfectly mimics its wild, intense essence. Well, that ice cream exists (it's called "Backyard Mint," naturally) and is found at Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams in unassuming Columbus, Ohio.Jeni's features unorthodox but delicious flavor combinations, all of them following the company mantra of "Less Sweet and More Flavorful." Take the Bourbon Buttered Pecan, which is made with Maker's Mark, and is an ideal marriage of whiskey, toasted pecans, and cream (think of it as the older, drunker cousin of Rum Raisin). Another is Goat Cheese with Roasted Red Cherries, a tart, tangy delight, with a deep, toasty sweetness from the cherries. One of the most unique is Thai Chili, which can best be described as pad thai scooped into a cone. It's spicy, yet subtly sweet, and full of peanut flavor. (The heat comes from cayenne, not sriracha, but I still couldn't help but wonder what it would be like with a little rooster sauce on top.)
