It's not even July 4th yet, but here's an update fast forwarding to tomorrow's NYT Magazine. The focus is on San Francisco ice cream shop, Humphry Slocombe. The owner is described as painfully shy and socially awkward, a seemingly odd character for an ice cream shop owner. From personal experience, I can attest that scoop shop owners are strange, nocturnal people who experience extreme stress in efforts to make other people's indulgences happy ones. According to NYT reporting, Humphy Slocombe's owner, Jake Godby, takes his food stress to the next level: seeking art appreciation. With flavors like prosciutto and duck-fat pecan pie, Godby is coined the "alternative ice cream" man. It seems like the alternative is forced in an unnatural, middle-school way, but I have yet to try, so must remain optimistic about Godby's ability to deliver diary bending art.
