The Best Dishes Eater San Francisco’s Editors Ate in October | Eater SF

"He’s a pizza man, he’s a BEC man, but, to me, Max Blachman-Gentile is an ice cream man, and the burnt date and black sesame ice cream may be his first signature. Riffed on his Musso Pola freezer-mixer, the combo delivers huge richness and depth; it eats super-premium-style, with at least 14 percent butterfat and minimal overrun for dense, non-airy scoops reminiscent of Ben & Jerry’s. A dark chocolate date syrup magic shell snaps playfully on top, and in tough times there’s real comfort in the smiles he doles out alongside those scoops." - Paolo Bicchieri
