The food world is about more than chefs. Profiles of butchers, a vegan, a sommelier and an ice cream maker show that passion for food, drink and ingredients knows no bounds.
Beware the brain freeze when you get the scoop on America's greatest ice cream parlors on Top 5 Restaurants. Towering sundaes packed with brownie boulders and hot fudge lava, crazy flavor combos on handmade cones, and fresh fruit-flavored delicacies -- you'll want to skip dinner and go straight to dessert. Whether it's concocted by a quirky San Francisco couple, a Midwestern family, or a couple of corporate dropouts, ice cream is the one food guaranteed to make you feel like a kid again.
