A gastronomical and emotional treat that put the proverbial cherry on top to my visit to Phoenix.

Dessert Dealer: At Least They Tried
Despite its literal barriers to entry, this is the sundae that got me back into the reviewing spirit.
The Churro Company: Sundaes Are for Dates
I'm back with more content for the masses. I've been living it up here in Orem, UT. I should clarify: by "living it up," I mean "withering in the heat and only braving the outdoors when I eat out." When I do go outside for non-food-related activities, it's usually after 9:30 or 10 PM. On … Continue reading The Churro Company: Sundaes Are for Dates
Rockwell Ice Cream: No Warning
A dear friend of mine told me about Rockwell as we were debating our dinner options. We opted for a "lighter meal" so we could fit in an ice cream pit stop. And by lighter, I mean we each got a half rotisserie chicken with a side of fries/yuca from a Peruvian restaurant. By the … Continue reading Rockwell Ice Cream: No Warning
William’s Dairy Bar: Return of the Fudge
I know, I know, it's been nearly a year since my last review. What's my excuse this time? I can't hide behind dieting, because we all know that's a load of stupid. I have a real job now so a thin wallet isn't a good excuse either. My best fake excuse would be to blame … Continue reading William’s Dairy Bar: Return of the Fudge
Freddy’s: A Long Time Coming
This technically should've been my third review ever. Unfortunately, I was more of a rookie in early 2018 and forgot to take a picture of the building AND the hot fudge sundae. Now, I only forgot to take a picture of the building. Thank you, Google. I've had a certain feeling of dread over this … Continue reading Freddy’s: A Long Time Coming
Mora: Brownie Fudge
This review marks a very exciting moment. My journey to Mora was a humble one. The friend I was staying with was with a girl and I didn't want to "cock block," as the kids say. So, I found myself typing in the Google search bar for a quick sweet fix. There were a few … Continue reading Mora: Brownie Fudge
Stardust Diner: For Dudes and Dames
A friend of mine wanted to try out this diner near his home in Vancouver, Washington. The facade is covered in blindingly reflective metal; when the sun's at the right angle, it could decimate a large colony of ants. Stardust Diner looks like it hasn't changed since the 1950s, though for all I know it … Continue reading Stardust Diner: For Dudes and Dames
Farr Better Ice Cream – “And Dole Whip”
Farr is a chain of ice creameries in Utah. There is also a candy shop in Idaho Falls with the name "Farr," but my research can't confirm they're from the same company (the research lasted two seconds, stopping when I couldn't find a web link about the candy store). My colleagues and I chose Farr's … Continue reading Farr Better Ice Cream – “And Dole Whip”
Salt & Straw: Wrong Location
People from my hometown often point out I haven't gone to the mecca of Portland ice creameries: Salt & Straw. This is true, but I don't like being told where to get my sundaes; one should never be compelled to go buy a sundae, it should be a natural occurrence. It just so happens my … Continue reading Salt & Straw: Wrong Location
