What They Ate
Quotes
"It's actually ice cream made from yeast, which doesn't sound appetizing, but this totally was."
"It has a slightly fermented taste like sourdough bread and it was super creamy."
"The petit fours come out next, which make me think we are finished. Not even close. More desserts are coming."
"It's called Crunch Grapefruit, made with layers of preserved and raw grapefruit with sorbet. It was a total acid bomb."
"Next is Ice Dark Chocolate with roasted peanuts and Carambar. Carambar is a chewy candy from France that has been in business since the 1950s."
