I was pleasantly surprised yesterday afternoon to receive a call from my friend Voik! I hadn't seen Voik since visiting LA in March, so was glad to hear from him. Apparently he'd just returned from a shoot in Hong Kong, and needed some ice cream. Of course, I was thrilled to accompany him to Scoops to, once again, enjoy the deliciousness of their flavor palette. I tried the Amaretto Cappuccino, and found it good but not exactly what I was looking for. So I went for the Guinness Tiramisu; Voik had, I believe, Strawberry Poppyseed. Deliciousness abounds at Scoops - and Voik recommended Pure, the vegetarian restaurant across the street, for dinner fun as well.
While eating, we noticed the LA Fire Department pull up across the street...and get out to go have some Scoops. "Now we know how the LA FD keeps their cool!" -direct Voik quote.
Punning aside, Scoops is once again highly recommended!

Fred 62 (it counts!)
Last night before a screening of The Lady Eve at the Silent Movie Theatre, Savannah and I had a cathartic waffle at Fred 62 - well, more accurately, I had the waffle, she had the catharsis. I mean tuna melt.
The food was awesome as usual - I mixed it up a bit and had a waffle SUNDAE, hence the post on Ice Cream Betches. The sundae was a vanilla ice cream/dulce de leche conglomeration of deliciousness. I'd say, so far, the ice cream was the best I've had in LA. I'm not a huge fan of vanilla on its own (with hot fudge? yes. in a milk shake? a five dollar shake? so I can pretend I'm Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction? Absolutely. On its own, not so much). But this vanilla was pretty good. The consistency was perfect for a sundae - melty enough to complement the waffle - you didn't feel as though the textures were competing. And the taste was premium quality - none of that ice-chip nonsense or too bland to have a flavor.
Savannah pointed out the little black vanilla bean dots in the ice cream, mentioning that that is a good sign of quality. I speculated that some companies probably put those in now at this point, just to imply quality where there is none; but, not the case with Fred 62. I forgot to ask if they make their own ice cream - the only flavor available on the menu was vanilla - but it's worth it. Plus, the rest of the food is awesome, so go check it out!
