Jeni’s is better. There’s a Jeni’s about two or three blocks from the convention center.

UDF is better than all.
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

Both Honey Hut and Mitchell’s in Cleveland are better than any of the Columbus ones.

Went to El Lugar this evening, was fantastic. Wouldn't stand in Lincoln Park or West Loop but most of Chicago and certainly the rest of the Midwest cities.

The Indian place in the North Market for lunch will hurt tomorrow, they did not ask about spice level...

Went to Jeni’s today, so I’ve had all 3. All 3 are very good for ice cream. I’d definitely put it behind the best custard spots (Leon’s, Murf’s, and LeDuc’s), but right up there with the overrated custard spots (which is still good, it’s just not on the top level…Gille’s, Kopp’s) and better than the bad custard spots (Culver’s, Andy’s, Freddy’s).

In terms of the quality of ice cream, I can’t say there’s a noticeable difference, so it comes down to flavors. My favorites are at Graeter’s. Then the quality of the waffle cone was a lot better at Handel’s than at Jeni’s. Plus I got probably 3x the amount of ice cream at Handel’s than what I got at Jeni’s for a dollar less.

But it’s worth paying a premium to get that quality of ice cream in a grocery store.

My absolute favorite is Honey Hut in Cleveland. Their Honey Pecan is sublime. Mitchell's in Cleveland also has some really good flavors - Bramble Berry Crunch (pretty much always available) and/or Strawberry Rhubarb Crunch (rarely available) are my favorites.

I know that I brought up Jeni's, but I'm not a huge fan (although I probably do like it better than Graeters and Handel's). My wife and kids love, Jeni's though, so I figured I'd mention it. I agree that it's overpriced. I think Handel's (which they also have in Cleveland) is pretty ordinary -- just trying to copy Ben & Jerry's (e.g., "Spouse Like a House" as a total ripoff of "Chubby Hubby") but not as good. I almost always get it in a dish so I can't speak to any of their waffle cones.

Over the last year or so I’ve become obsessed with waffle cones, to the point is equally as important as the actual ice cream.

Again today MU has the highest representation at the bars. Haven’t seen any MSU fans today and only a handful yesterday.

They must have all went home in between.

My wife mentioned that as well. Was thinking maybe MSU put together a bunch of parties for them by age bracket or something at the hotels event spaces
