Tucked into a strip mall, next to a movie theater, is an ice cream parlor/cafe ahead of the times. Mario'sice Cream and Pizza. No, they don't serve Dippin' Dots. They pair food. With. Ice cream.
Being in the pair-beverages-with-food business, I was delighted to see such thought going into these recommendations. Sugar- and fat-free Butter Pecan after a greasy gyro, Classic French vanilla after a classic hot dog,super-sweet cotton candy after a savory club sandwich topped with salty bacon... It's too bad that I had dinner already and only had the ice cream. Hmmm, I should have asked which flavor paired with grilled tilapia and fried plantains. I went for with-sugar, with-fat Butter Pecan, and I can't say it was a bad choice.
