A hot tip on a treat cool enough for the First Lady
Michael Klein reports that First Lady Michelle Obama treated daughters Malia and Sasha to Capogiro Gelato this past Saturday while visiting Philadelphia; and apparently, Michelle likes chocolate. She chose chocolate banana and cioccolato scuro, Capogiro's signature dark-dark chocolate, for her cup.� Malia paired fior di latte with dulce de leche, while Sasha went all-dulce. Yum.
The Obama ladies took in historic sights, visiting Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell and the Betsy Ross House before hitting South Street and the Gayborhood for some Philly atmosphere.
Meal Ticket heartily approves of the First Family's selection of Capogiro for a quick cool-off; we have only one recommendation for future visits.
Capogiro offers complimentary, lightly sweetened, homemade panna (whipped cream) to top off your gelato.� Double up your treat by asking the barista to fill a cone with the panna, then put the gelato on top.� Now the sad moment of no-more-ice-cream becomes a happy, all-new-dessert-moment of a delicate French gaufrette cone full of fluffy panna.� You can thank us later.
