A group of Red Shirts braved the heat to try to conquer the Andorian Ice Cream Challenge May 2022 on May 14, 2022. There were three places on the itinerary:
- Creamistry 7707 BlueBonnet BLVD ste 110, BR 70810
- Popaletas 4855 S Sherwood Forest Blvd Suite B, Baton Rouge, Louisiana
- Buzzed Bull Creamery – Denham Springs, LA 2660 Sac Au Lait Ln Suite C, Denham Springs, LA
The first stop was Creamistry, where the business decided to set the environmental controls to “Vulcan like conditions” as their air conditioning was broken. They had some wild flavor combinations like “Cookie Monster”, “Elemint Creation”, “Cap’n Crunch®”, and “Chocolate”. (yes, really do you need to come up with a fancy name to convince people to order chocolate ice cream?).
Our second location was Popaletas. Note: Next time bring the univrersal translator! This ice cream shop is authentic Mexican ice cream. We all were still recovering from Creamistry, so we split a strawberry ice cream. They used real strawberries for this heavenly treat.
The Red Shirts then beamed over to Chimes and enjoyed a cajun meal of seafood, gumbo, and po-boys.
Alas, our challenge ended there. No one could imagine making it through another bite of food or ice cream, so we’ll plan on another excursion to our final ice cream stop next time!
