Exhibit B – more people noticing and respecting the powerhouse that is the Columbus Ice Cream Scene. Columbus is to ice cream what Seattle was to music. Jeni’s Fresh is one of my favorites and has been recognized by Gourmet Magazine, two books, Roker on the Road (TV) and many other media outlets. Of course it is in Ice Cream Ohio. Here is yet another endorsement. Click below to see this article from Apartment Therapy – all the kids rave about Apartment Therapy – maybe they are right.

Big Fun with Dim Sum at Little Dragons
Posted by CMH Gourmand on September 3, 2006
Little Dragons
1508 Morse Road (Morse and Karl)
846 – 9114
Sunday to Thursday 11 AM to 10 PM, Friday / Saturday 11 AM to 11 PM
There are plenty of average Chinese places in town. Little Dragons flies above the peasants and offers decent Chinese food at an affordable price. The restaurant remodeled in 2005. Most people order carry out. It took me many visits to discover the secret Chinese menu – which is generally not made available to western looking types like myself except on request. One day I noticed the other diners had food very different than what I had seen before. Also, I noticed that 95% of the customers dining in are Asian. I then discovered the secret Chinese menu (with English translations – written on the side) and started to unlock the mysteries of it. Some of the offerings scare me – most leave me very excited. After crossing this line, I found out about the Dim Sum on Sundays. Basically, Dim Sum could quickly be described as Chinese tapas or appetizers. Dim Sum is quite the experience in “real chinese” restaurants expecially those on the West Coast. The offering and presentation are scaled down here in the heart of the Midwest but the items available on both the English and Chinese menus were good and not to be found elsewhere in Columbus. I have never had a bad meal at Little Dragons and I consistently enjoy the pot stickers and Crab Rangooon.
