2013 Best Bite #6: PB&J ice pop, Ice Cubed truck

Each day in December, I’m celebrating the rest of the best bites (and sips) that I didn’t get to blog about in 2013, posted in chronological order. Browse all of this year’s Best Bites, or look back at 2012’s Best Bites.

Why it’s another 2013 Best Bite: The food truck scene continued to explode in Chicago this year, and Ice Cubed is among the most innovative of the bunch. I ate this creative ice pop at Techweek’s Food Truck Face Off, which featured a host of trucks lined up outside Merchandise Mart on a stormy June evening. It captured a PB&J in creamy frozen form, with tart raspberry sorbet as the “J”. I especially loved the nutty snap of the sesame-seed crust.

The details: The Ice Cubed truck will be back on the Chicago streets in Spring 2014.
