Cream of the Crop
We tried a bunch of cool locally made ice cream spots and here’s the scoop. No matter how you serve it up, in a bowl or in a cone, with toppings or on its own, when it comes to ice cream, nothing beats fresh. Step out of the freezer aisle and check out one of these locally made frozen treats.

Cravings: Jeremy Grandon
“If I’m not in the kitchen of my restaurant,” says Jeremy Grandon, chef/proprietor of Yardbird Smoked Meats in Keego Harbor, “I am at home in the kitchen, cooking for myself and my wife, Paula.

On Fridays and Saturdays (weather permitting) they host the tiki-themed Honi Honi on the Oakland’s back patio, serving up cheap beers, mai tais, and Kaleidoscope Eyes. Owner Sandy Levine says the drink started off as something made for the bartenders to “catch up” at the end of a long night, and as such, it’s as potent as it is easy to down.
