Just tried Smitten Ice Cream in El Segundo. Smoothest, silkiest ice cream yet. Nitrogen churned to order.
I recollect reading about it a few years ago, home made ice-cream contraption hauled around on a radio flyer in SF.
Highly recommended.

I find the giant tank of liquid nitrogen in the shop in Oakland disturbing, not comfortable being in the same room.
N2 is non-flammable, although I suppose the tank could explode if the pressure relief valve stops working for some reason. How does Smitten compare to other liquid nitrogen ice cream (Creamistry, Ice Cream Lab, etc)?
@WesSabi 
Didn’t realize its a similar technique as Creamistry etc. I’ll have to check out Smitten’s competitors.

Highly recommend Creamistry French Vanilla made with organic Strauss cream. The problem is that it is very pricey. Four servings ends up being around $35. Yeezus.
But yeah I agree with the nitrogen ice cream having amazing texture. I’ll have to give Smitten a try when I’m in the area.
do i have to
you guys are on insane budgets
Rick paper scissors then.
If you find a worthy, cheap ice cream, post it there. And then buy us some.
Bwahahahaha.
