"I've known Smoosh as the popular Houston food truck for cookie ice cream sandwiches, and it's debuting a permanent location this week at Lowell Street Market; the shop announced on Instagram that it will open its doors at 718 West 18th Street in the Heights for limited hours as a practice run before a grand opening on Saturday, September 15 (which will include a party with free ice cream sandwiches noon–4 p.m.). The shop describes itself as Houston’s first destination for “customizable” ice cream sandwiches: diners choose from cookies like classic chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin, stuff them with a scoop of vanilla, chocolate, or butter pecan ice cream, and finish them with toppings such as candy, crumbled bacon, and crushed Oreo cookies. Shakes, sundaes, soda floats, and cookie ice cream splits are also on offer." - Amy McCarthy
