Black sesame. Foie gras. Oyster. These are just some of the flavors Amy Ettinger sampled during her year dedicated to researching, and tasting, ice cream. Ettinger joins us in-studio to talk about her book, “Sweet Spot: An Ice Cream Binge Across America,” and to dish on her favorite ice cream spots in the Bay Area. Tell us — what’s your go to ice cream spot and what makes it rise above the rest? And what do you think of the funky flavors du jour — are they an improvement on a traditional treat or food innovation run amok?
