Spring is just about here in Chicago which means summer is around the corner! In my opinion, Italian ice is the most refreshing summer treat, beating out ice cream, bingsoo, and paletas. It's good when it's just the right amount of sweet and the ice melts the moment you release the spoon from your mouth. I love combining two flavors and then walking around with a little styrofoam cup of fun.
Local shout-out to Miko's Italian Ice in Chicago!

One of the best ice cream stores in Milan!! Located in what I would like to call the Diana-district (idk maybe it is actually the name of the neighbourhood). Anyway its in Porta Venezia just a little to the left. My litmus test for how good an ice cream store is is how unique their flavours are (or if they have any at all). This place has a flavour called Diana so I think it reasonably passes. (In any case a flavour that I believe is inspired by princess Diana is kunt.)

BEST COAST NO COAST (technically wrong because we have THE LARGEST BODY OF FRESH WATER IN THE WORLD).
We're stereotyped as being nice; our signature dishes are all things that make you feel more full than a grain silo at the end of the harvest season; the great lakes are beautiful; supper clubs; 4 seasons superiority; relatively mild natural disasters; endless list of artists, musicians, generally successful and prolific people from the midwest; natural wonders galore (driftless region, boundary waters, apostle islands, etc.); eccentric culture and lifestyle; the list goes on and on.
I love being from Wisconsin, and I will never feel bad about it.

It's my favorite thing to get at dim sum! Crispy on the outside, soft and pillowy on the inside—it's a perfect vessel for chili oil and hoisin sauce. Wash it down with hot tea after, of course
