Ice Cream Testing
With our refined palates from over a decade of dining car cooking and recipe research, our staff is experienced in sampling various flavors and consistencies of ice cream, gelato, frozen yogurts and custards, and other delicious dairy and non-dairy sweets.
Our firm performs regular taste-testing inspections of local ice cream parlors in or around our service areas to ensure the quality, flavor, and overall experience are consistent with our expectations. Whether it’s a milkshake or a sundae, we use our expertise to determine the finest ice cream parlors in our surrounding areas and share this information with our valued customers to enhance their railroad history learning experiences.
