Okay, we finished our Dog Days Of Summer…2024 tour last week and so it’s time to cleanse the palate and announce the next food tour.
And of course that means we’re taking a sweet trip to Peoria Heights, the home of…
Emack & Bolio’s Ice Cream, the official palate cleansing shop for MBIP!
The place is looking great and there’s the sign with some of the specials happening in here.
Let’s walk through the colorful door and let this palate cleansing experience happen!
Here we are inside and I see a familiar face down there, behind the counter…
It’s the owner, Matt Algas who took the store over about a year ago here in Peoria Heights. He said business has been good and things are going great, which is wonderful to hear.
You can read all about Matt and the background of him taking over the ownership of this sweet store in this PJ Star article.
I scanned the menus for a palate cleanser and Matt suggested the Apple Brown Betty topped with a warm caramel sauce.
That sounded delightful, so I placed my order and while Matt makes that up, let’s take a look around in here.
As you can see, they have a huge selection of frosted and flavored cones and homemade waffle bowls to choose from.
There’s the Apple Cider waffle bowl that our ice cream treat will be served in! It’s made with Tanner’s Orchard Cider and I’m anxious to give it a taste!
There’s the flavor of the month and other specials happening this month in Emack & Bolio’s.
I love all the colorful and fun art on the walls in here.
Boo! Check out the Halloween decor in here! Trick or treat…and speaking of treats…
Matt just served up our palate cleanser, the Apple Brown Betty with a warm caramel topping. It looks sensational!
Let’s dig in to this sweet treat!
Wow, this is such a sweet and delicious ice cream treat!
i’ve had lots of ice cream goodies in here through the years and I can honestly say that this is the most tasty and sweet thing I have ever had in here!
You need to stop by and check out the Apple Brown Betty with warm caramel sauce right now! It’s just that much of a tasty swet sensation!
Okay, the bowl is all empty, that can only mean one thing…
It’s time to announce our next MBIP food tour…
Which will be a seven week tour featuring 13 doughnuts in the Peoria area.
This will be a somewhat short tour, as there’s not a ton of local doughnut shops, but it wall be a fun tour as I’ve never sampled doughnuts here on MBIP!
We’ve done a Baker’s Dozen of cookies, now we’re goin to be sampling thirteen delicious doughnuts in seven weeks. This sounds like a sweet journey, so tune in as this new MBIP Food Tour begins next week!
