food shopping: Please Donut Kill My Vibe

February 12, 2021

Are you ever about to eat some ice cream and then stop and say to yourself, “Wait a minute. I don’t know if this ice cream has enough calories in it for me?!” You are stuck staring at your creamy deliciousness wondering how you could get more calories into your bowl. You thought about toppings, but that’s a lot of work. Well have I got a solution for you, donuts! That’s right my friends, donuts. Why eat regular ice cream when you can have ice cream with huge chunks of donut mixed in? I mean honestly if you are going to cheat on your diet, do it right.

I know what you are thinking, but no such combination exists. Oh it does, it does. Head over to Concord Market and pick up a pint of Gracie’s “Please Donut Kill My Vibe.” It’s vanilla ice cream mixed with chocolate and Boston creme donuts from Concord Market. If you didn’t already know, Concord Market sells donuts on Sundays with a weekly popup called “Dan’s Donut Domingo.” And Gracie’s is a small batch, local ice creamery, located in Union Square in Somerville, MA. They are known for their creative flavors. Beyond the one we are taking about here, they have things like, Grapefruit Black Pepper Sorbet and Twinkies and Jam.

Look, this is not going to be your everyday donut, I mean ice cream, but it is something you really should try. It’s kinda like those donut ice cream sandwiches in reverse and we all know that needed to happen. I will also tell you, this type of creativity doesn’t come cheap. Try $9.99 a pint. That’s a steep price for ice cream. So if you do give it a try let me know what you think, and let them know I sent you, that way maybe I’ll get some free ice cream, or donuts, or donut-ice cream!
