Sunday Scoops: Emack & Bolio's

Sunday is a great day for ice cream because, if I have a hangover, which I often do, the winning combination of mood-enhancing sugar and stomach-coating fat make ice cream the perfect breakfast. On Saturday night, while I was still sober and drinking Midori Sours, a new friend recommended the Grasshopper Pie frozen yogurt at Emack & Bolio's, which has an outpost on Houston east of West Broadway. I love the green ice creams so I found some clean clothes and stumbled over to the shop. At $2.99 a scoop I thought it was a little expensive, but the combination of mint ice cream and oreos (even half an oreo) was fantastic. And breath-freshening!

You can submit fantasy flavors to E&B, and get a prize if they make your fantasy flavor!

The picture is of the "Emack Attack", which, as they said, "is a scoop of every kind of ice cream and every possible topping you could ever desire. There was hot fudge and strawberries and Oreo cookie bits and Heath Bar pieces and fresh whipped cream and every mixture and possible taste of every ice cream flavor in the store."
