Graeter's is a Cincinnati-based ice cream. They've recently started moving out - Kroger carries them in some locations (they started in South Carolina a couple years ago), and Winn Dixie and Publix started carrying them down here in Alabama earlier this year.

So if you've got a Kroger, Winn Dixie or Publix nearby, I'd look for 'em. Best ice cream I've ever had.

Not sure whereabouts you are in NC, but they're all over the place there. Pop in your zip code: http://www.graeters.com/locations.aspx

Help is on the way, Rain Man. Moose Tracks is not a "store brand". That is Denali! Did you know there are now 30 different flavors of Moose Tracks now? I didn't until I checked the website. http://www.moosetracks.com/

imitation cookies & cream.

Not a brand name guy with food.

I've tried many of their flavors, but never their coconut. Can't stand the texture of coconut.

Oh and the bread and butter has to be Blue Bell's Rocky Road.

I lived within 2 miles of one of their stores.

It's even better there if you can believe it.

Ben and Jerry's Half Baked, when I used to eat Ice Cream.

LICK in Austin, TX

I know! I've had it "fresh" at one of their Louisville stores. I've also figured out already that the Publix does a better job than Winn Dixie. It seems it's melted and refrozen from Winn Dixie...

You have to love coconut, obviously. I actually prefer it sometimes.

Maggie Moos used to be good when it was based in the KC area, then those jack asses from the Washington DC area took it over and screwed it up.

Vanilla Bean

Anything but Chocolate

I've been there a few times. they have some very odd flavors sometimes, but they're awesome. the salted pretzel is good and butternut squash
