The other day, I turned RQS on to a food truck that travels around the NYC area, serving wonderful lobster to anyone near their 3 food trucks. So we planned a day that centers around decadent food. First, I'd pick up a wholesome, decadent meal from the lobster truck in Bayside, Queens. And after our late lunch, we'd make our way to Tipsy Scoop for some booze infused ice cream.

About a year ago, I found out about Cousins Maine Lobster from a site I stumbled into online. It took me a while to meet up with one of their food trucks. When I finally did, it was nirvana. I've never had lobster that tasted this good - and I've had many tasty crustaceans in my time. Yes, it's a matter of cooking technique that does the trick. But I've cooked many a tasty lobster. They are doing something right that I do wrong.
The booze infused ice cream is nothing new to me. I was introduced to it by an ice cream shop in Beacon, NY. Although I know the ice cream maker that produces their booze infused ice cream, this firm does not list it on their site. (I'll bet that it's because of our alcohol laws in both the United States and in New York State.) And then I heard of Tipsy Scoop. When I first heard of them, they had a limited distribution which would have forced me to travel to Astoria to pick up a pint to go. Now, I can pick up a pint in a specialty market 20 minutes away from me, and still have it in a condition to be served by the time I get it into my freezer.

Luckily, the lobster trucks are not limited to New York City suburbs anymore, nor is the distribution of Tipsy Scoop ice cream. If you can find them, I highly recommend these products....
