Two years ago, just around Thanksgiving I went to Ohio with this same friend. Only instead of spending the week with her back then, I went to visit my friend at Xavier and followed her and some of her friends back here to Rochester in time for Turkey Day. Before that we made a stop to Graeter's and I ordered Elena's Blueberry Pie ice cream. I'm not a huge chocolate person so I don't eat chocolate ice cream leading me to gravitate towards fruity flavors. It was pretty good but nothing too exciting.

I got back to school and mentioned that to my Ohio native friend.. and she quickly told me that I did it wrong. Apparently the point of going to Graeter's is their chocolate chips. And I of course, ordered one of the very few flavors without chocolate chips, therefore messing up my first visit to Graeter's... whoops...

This time around I did it right though!

I got the special Strawberry Chip and it was great! I understand the hype about the Graeter's chocolate chips now. First off, I'm in love with strawberry ice cream. It's my go to favorite which makes me picking strawberry kinda boring. The chocolate chips were incredible. The big chunks you find in the ice cream are chewy and soft but still chippy! I don't understand how they do it but I'm sold. Graeter's is going to be a must any time I'm in Ohio now.. now that I'm there very often.
