Sweet nostalgia at The Comfy Cow [Food&Dining]

Bring your break-ups, your birthdays, your beloved and your best friends to the Comfy Cow. Also bring your stretchy pants.

 

Remember the way ice cream used to taste? Remember running on hot asphalt in flip-flops after a tinkling ice cream truck? Recall the chill of that freezing chocolate against your lips, the stickiness on your fingers, the melting sweetness against your tongue. Ice cream is the ultimate comfort food, the treat of childhood, birthdays and break-ups. The Comfy Cow updates the feelings and flavors of ice cream with equal parts panache and taste.

Graeter's ice cream had me at hello [Louisville newbie]

I didn’t believe in the perfect ice cream…until I found Graeter’s.

Before moving to Louisville, I thought that Cold Stone or perhaps Blue Bell (I am a Texas girl, after all) had the market cornered on being the “World’s Best Ice Cream.” However, even before I officially made the move to Louisville, I had discovered the local favorite, Graeter’s. It was recommended that I first try the Black Raspberry Chip flavor. It is creamy, not overly raspberry-y, and has enormous (yes, enormous) chunks of chocolate embedded within.

The Comfy Cow to Add a Store on Frankfort Avenue [Crescent Hill]

Coming soon: it's time to trade in your Big Daddy Burger for an ice cream sandwich.  As of Monday, Tim and Roy Koons-McGee, owners of the Comfy Cow, have purchased the much-maligned house and Genny's Diner, owned by Frank Faris, which they will convert into one of their delicious stores, selling ice cream and other sweet treats. 
The Comfy Cow is coming to a neighborhood near you.  After months of litigation over a decaying house on Frankfort Avenue, Frank Faris is selling his house and the Genny's Diner property to Tim and Roy Koons-McGee, owners of the Comfy Cow, a local ice cream and sweeet treats shop.  

Bruster's Ice Cream hosts ice cream eating contest [Lyndon]

Little did Ronald Reagan know that he would be affecting the way Louisville eats ice cream a generation later.

In 1984, President Ronald Reagan declared July "National Ice Cream Month", and the third Sunday in July "National Ice Cream Day." Little did he know the effects of that proclamation a generation later.

Lyndon Area Business Association sponsors blood drive [Lyndon]

If you have some extra blood, and a little extra time, you can give blood, receive a free pint of ice cream, and get a chance to win a 2010 Ford Focus!

The Lyndon Area Business Association is known best for connecting the business owners of Lyndon with each other, and keeping commerce in the neighborhood flowing smoothly. But three times a year, they team with The Red Cross to sponsor the Community Blood Drive, an act which reaches far beyond the borders of Lyndon.

A tale of two scoops

Two cool places to go for your ice cream fix downtown
Two hot workday afternoons downtown. Two ice cream runs at lunch. One in a car and one by foot. They couldn’t be more different, but they both make me happy in the way only a frozen confection on a summer day can.
