Day: November 21, 2024

With Summer slamming to a close and it being cold and raw out we’re gonna do a roundup of the best French Onion Soup around town, probably including all of Cape Ann.

Criteria which I think we can all agree on- served in a proper French Onion soup crock, the cheese be the right mix and crusted over the top, the broth be hearty and most importantly, flavor.

Here’s Blue Marlin Grille. Please nominate local place where you think they have great French Onion soup for us to try. Let me know where you think we should go next.

Heart of the Sea…

Store Wins Best in the Northeast, Secures Several Ribbons

Boston, Mass. – November 18, 2024 – Holy Cow Ice Cream Cafe once again impressed the panels and industry luminaries at the North American Ice Cream Association’s annual ConeCon convention. Holy Cow’s new ice cream flavor, Pistachio Baklava, won the Northeast Region’s “Flavor of The Year” for 2024, marking the company’s third consecutive year attaining this celebrated distinction. The flavor was introduced this summer and quickly became one of their top sellers, trailing only Ritzy AF, the company’s previous winner for North America’s “Flavor of the Year” in 2022. The globally-inspired flavor features a homemade honey-infused pistachio butter base, with roasted pistachio toffee and bits of crispy phyllo dough. “We knew we had something special as soon as we added it to our menu,” said Mike Schifino, Founder & Creative Director of Holy Cow. He added, “to win these awards at the largest ice cream competition in North America is truly an honor.”

Holy Cow was also overjoyed to win a Blue Ribbon for its new Ecuadorian Cocoa. With this achievement, Holy Cow earned the rare and prestigious Grand Master Ice Cream Maker Award, an honor previously achieved by only a handful of ice cream shops nationwide for sustained excellence. The company also secured accolades for its core Chocolate, Strawberry, and Vanilla flavors.

“To win the Grand Master Award is an enormous privilege and I’m thrilled to join such a prestigious group of creators from across North America,” added Schifino. “Three consecutive years of winning the Northeast Region’s “Flavor of the Year” award, on top of becoming a Grand Master, validates all the hard work of our team. I’m so proud of our entire crew and grateful for all our loyal supporters. Thank you so much to everyone who’s made Holy Cow a part of their life. We’re excited to continue sharing our passion for unique and delicious ice cream with you all for years to come!”

Holy Cow’s accolades now include:

• ●  2024 – “Grand Master Ice Cream Maker”
• ●  2024 – “Northeast Region Flavor of the Year” (Pistachio Baklava)
• ●  2023 – “Northeast Region Flavor of the Year” (Jackpot)
• ●  2022 – “Flavor of the Year” (Ritzy AF)
• ●  2022 – “Flavor of the Year” – 3rd Place (Eazy Peazy)
• ●  2021 – “Non-Dairy Flavor of the Year” – 2nd Place (Vegan Lemon Cookie)
• ●  2019 – “Best New Flavor” – Honorable Mention (The Charleston)

We impulsively decided to stop at 525 on Lexington Ave for dinner recently and it was a great choice! It is so nice to have a nearby spot that is so comfortable, cozy and welcoming so kudos to Tammy and the crew for making that happen. I had the Haddock Francese and Jim ordered Seafood Marinara. The menus are changing over to the winter but I welcome the heartier choices when it’s so chilly and dark. The place was nearly full early on a Thursday evening which is great to see. Shout out to our server Kirsten who juggled her tables admirably.
