Kitty Kitty Bang Bang Ice Cream Cone
The Chocolate Ox
Um, what is it?: It’s a cheesecake ice cream with a raspberry ripple, Oreo cookies and chocolate chunks.
28 chances: There are 28 different varieties of ice cream in the Chocolate Ox freezer at the Nisswa location. There are classic flavors like rocky road and then there are some out-of-this-world creations.
Dunked: If you can eat it, the Chocolate Ox will dunk it in chocolate. From animal crackers to sunflower seeds, there are a lot of things you can’t imagine covered in chocolate that are in fact covered in chocolate.
Old-school candy: Along with the obvious housemade chocolate yumminess, the Nisswa Chocolate Ox also sells classic candy you can’t find very often. I won’t spoil the surprise.
Breakfast Two Ways Adirondack
The Waffle Sammy: This crazy concoction features a Belgian waffle cut in half. Placed between the slices is a sausage patty, pepper jack cheese and two eggs. The top of the sandwich is drizzled with hot honey.
The Sunburn: The breakfast burrito is stuffed with potatoes, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, red onion, red pepper, pepper jack cheese and a housemade *UV sauce. *A delicious, housemade creamy sriracha sauce.
Adirondack is now owned by the same man who owns all four locations of Rafferty’s Pizzas, including the one right next door to Adirondack. Both restaurants will utilize the shaded and inviting courtyard next door.
Chef and operator Tony likes spice and the UV sauce is one way for him to add a little kick to his dishes. It’s a creamy sriracha sauce, but don’t be afraid. It’s
Burrito
BARAJAS MEXICAN BAR & GRILL
Packed: This 10-inch flour tortilla is stuffed with grilled chicken, bacon, onion, tomato, habanero, rice and beans and then topped with a spicy cheese salsa on one end and a burrito salsa on
Why two sauces?: Chef Ruben uses two sauces on this burrito because it’s so big. He figures if you get sick of one sauce,you can turn it around and enjoy the other sauce for a while.
Turn the heat on: This specialty burrito is not the hottest menu item. That distinction belongs to the Diablo burrito. The Sabanero does have a kick that will induce tears of joy.
The perfect pair: You won’t feel like you’re in Mexico unless you also enjoy one of Gabriela’s natural organic margaritas. It’s mixed with fresh lime juice, natural triple sec, organic tequila and a splash of water. New this year is a jalapeno version that is a rollercoaster of citrus and jalapeno flavors.
Winner, winner chicken dinner
JULIE’S
ANDY’S BAR & GRILL
A bowl of goodness: Iceberg salad topped with a coconut-crusted chicken breast mixed with sharp cheddar cheese, tomatoes, hard-boiled egg, artichoke, avocado and a housemade honey mustard dressing.
Are you coconuts?: The chicken is juicy and plentiful and the coconut flavor comes through from this flour, egg and coconut combination.
But the dressing?: Yes, the hot honey mustard dressing does pair well with the coconut flavor along with all the other accompaniments. And as a sandwich?: The staff at Andy’s will also be offering this dish as a sandwich this summer. The crusted chicken will be topped with lettuce, tomato, cheese, egg and avocado with the honey mustard dressing. It’s bound to be messy and that means good.
Rave Creamworks Pink Squirrel Ice Cream Victual
Not your mom’s pink squirrel: The flavor is spot on to the old-time boozy concoction often enjoyed at family occasions. This ice cream is flavored with Creme de Noyaux, a pink almond-flavored French liqueur and a chocolate liqueur made by broVo in Oregon. Don’t worry all age levels can enjoy a scoop or two or three.
There are 24 varieties of ice cream in the Rave Creamworks Super Premium freezer. What makes this ice cream so unique is it is lactose-free. It’s chemical free and there are no artificial flavors or colors. For more on the lactose-free part, watch the video with co-owner Paul.
