Everyone likes a bowl of ice cream. Especially on a scorching hot summer day. A spoonful of sweet, creamy ice cream is at once refreshing and comforting. It’s a food that can make you feel like a kid again.
If you have a knock your socks off recipe for homemade ice cream, you might want to think about entering the first ever South End Churn Off to take place at Atherton Market August 4, 2012. The competition is free and open to anyone, but entries must be received by email by Wednesday August 1. Recipe must be included on entry form.
Contestants must provide ingredients, utensils, ice cream makers (manual or electric) and drop cords. Ice, rock salt, tables, bowls, and spoons for tasting will be provided. Ice cream ingredients must be displayed to visitors.
Judging begins at 12pm. $150 in monetary prizes awarded to winners. Ice Cream will be judged on taste, texture, local ingredients, and uniqueness.
An application form can be found at Southendclt.com.
Atherton Market is located on South Blvd in the South End Neighborhood in Charlotte, right next to the Light Rail Tracks. The building used to be a trolley barn and has been turned into a wonderful farmers market that is open on Saturdays as well as Tuesdays from 3pm-7pm.
