Looks like Stumptown Coffee is not the only fresh off the bus, piece of straw-chewing newcomer to the city’s artisanal food scene: as of yesterday, pints of the acclaimed Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream are available at Foragers Market in DUMBO. Introductory flavors include Dark Cocoa Gelato, Salty Caramel, Pistachio (with Ohio honey), Bourbon Buttered Pecan, and Black Currant Yogurt. Owner Jeni Britton Bauer was the subject of a Food & Wine article last year that named her of the country’s best ice cream producers; following the seasons, pints contain fresh fruit and are made in small batches. Also, Jeni’s ice creams do not contain eggs—Britton Bauer adheres to the belief that “I love the taste of cream so much that I hate to cover it up with anything.” Pints are a steep $10 each at DUMBO's Forager’s Market; Columbus-based blog Restaurant Widow assures that each (roughly 20-cent) spoonful is “worth every bite.” Board up your windows and shove towels under your door now so the ice cream cannot get in.
