Not knowing anything about the making of Ice Cream, we had to learn. My wife and I sampled 6 or 7 ice cream stores, searching for one copy. A friend of ours who lived in Sacramento told us about her all-time favorite, Gunther's Ice Cream in Sacramento. We tried it and couldn't have agreed more. Chris, the manager, while not divulging any trade secrets, gave me some invaluable information about making ice cream and my supplier was also was a wealth of information. He once had a retail store and made his own ice cream in a similar Emery Thompson. He was so nice he came up from San Jose to spend a day showing me the process.. You just don’t see that in people very often.. 4 plus hour drive. You’ll love love love our Ice Cream!!! You’ll love it.. Your kids will go nuts!!!
