YOUR PICKS
You say, “Even though snowballs originated in Baltimore, Orleagian Snowballs has perfected the process. They are the best frozen treat in Atlanta.” And “Perfect for a hot summer day. Cold and refreshing.”

OUR PICKS
1) Morelli’s Gourmet Ice Cream
Food and beverage writer Bob Townsend saysm “Morelli’s in Ormewood Park is famous for crazy-cool homemade ice cream, like bacon brittle, coconut jalapeno, rosemary olive oil and sweet corn. Lately, though, Kevin Gillespie of Woodfire Grill has upped the wow factor, stopping by once a week to create small batches of fun flavors. Amaretto popcorn, fried pie and smoked caramel-infused chocolate with marshmallow swirl are among the recent ‘Top Chef’ hits.”

Happily, all of the following choices are within an approximately one square mile radius:
(1) Orleagian Sno-Ball truck at Ponce and Moreland (try one of the berry flavors with condensed milk added, yum!);
(2) King of Pops cart at North and N. Highland (honeydew melon and lime);
(3) Paolo’s Gelato – sublime plum; baked apple; wonderful “flower” flavors;
(4) Zesto’s Nut Brown Crown; and
(5) Morelli’s.

Yoforia!! The yummiest frozen yogurt on the planet. It is so addicting, we will drive 15 minutes out of our way (past Sheridan’s in Tucker, past a Rita’s, past several Bruster’s) for it @ least once a week.

…if you are going to play at least get the recommendation right – as others have pointed out, and as you tried to, the F.O. at the Varsity is great, but it stands for FROSTED orange, not frozen orange…
