Last Tuesday we finished the Slices Of Peoria pizza tour. We started that on June 8, 2021, so that was just about a year of eating pizza! There were a few places I didn’t get to, but just like in poker, you gotta know when to fold ‘em and it was time to end that cheesy series.
So, it’s time for a palate cleanser and then we’re going to announce a brand new MBIP Food Tour.
But first, let’s head on over to Smack & Bolio’s for a sweet palate cleanser!
Here we are at Emack & Bolio’s in Peoria Heights…wow, they’ve done a complete make-over on the place! It’s looking good.
Click here to see a before photo of the place.
Let’s go in and see what’s happening inside of Emack & Bolio’s on this wonderful afternoon.
It’s looking nice in here and I love the sweet ice cream smell that hits you as you walk in the door!
There’s a colorful ice cream wall mural over here.
And there’s some rock ‘n roll photos, a guitar on top of an Emack & Bolio ice cream cone and this wall reminds you that you are indeed in Peoria Heights.
There’s also an Emack & Bolio’s at the Peoria Riverfront and you can check that out here on their facecrack page.
I love this plate, it’s a gift from their next door neighbor, Fired Up.
Check out this MBIP post when we made our official Can I Eat My Lunch In Here plate from there. I need to do another one of those nerve-wracking posts soon!
You can join the text list and get some sweet ice cream savings. They also have gift cards for sale in here.
Here’s a shot from the back of the shop.
Okay, I need to order some ice cream.
Time to mooooove on over to the front counter and make my selection!
There’s a lot of sweet treats available here and I decided to get the Salted Caramel Chocolate Pretzel ice cream in a sugar cone.
Christian was working the front counter and there he is scooping up the ice cream.
And here’s Christian serving up our palate-claensing ice cream cone!
It looks like vanilla ice cream, but it had salted caramel and chunks of chocolate and pretzels mingling in the sweet ice cream mix and it was a delicious and satisfying ice cream treat!
Thanks for the great service, Christian!
And now, it’s time to announce the next MBIP food tour!
Oh Ringo…how about a little drum roll here?
Thanks, Ringo!
And now…
Ladies and gentlemen, the next MBIP Food Tour is going to be…
A hot dog eating tour!
Starting next Tuesday, which is the day after Memorial Day, we’ll be kicking off a tour where I’m sampling hot dogs all over central Illinois all summer long until Labor Day!
This tour isn’t limited to Peoria, so look forward to several hot dog road trips…are you hearing this Scott Turley?
Hot Dog, I can’t wait to start this and the first one will debut next Tuesday! Hope to see you there!
