In Cincinnati, the ice cream may be cold, but this rivalry is steaming hot! Graeter's and Aglamesis have been churning out chocolate chip ice cream the old-fashioned way for over 100 years, and the good people of Ohio are divided. Take a step back in time as Michael Symon learns the techniques that give each hand dipped scoop that unmistakable flavor and he crowns a champion of the chip!
Aglamesis vs. Graeter's.
It's one of the great divides in Cincinnati food culture.
Perhaps not as deep and profound as the Skyline-Gold Star schism, but it's a defining preference between two delicious choices.
So it made sense for a new Food Network show called "Food Feuds" to come here and attempt to choose between the two companies' chocolate chip ice creams.
The show's concept, like so many food shows, is a competition: It finds food rivalries in cities around the country and then comes in and creates a show to "settle" them.
Area ice cream makers Graeter’s and Aglamesis Brothers will be featured on “Food Feuds,” a new show on television’s Food Network.
“The showdown becomes a family affair when the fourth generation of the Graeter’s family takes on the third generation of the Aglamesis Brothers Ice Cream,” said a release from Graeter’s.
The television show is hosted by Cleveland-native Michael Symon of “Iron Chef America.” “Food Feuds” visits rival food institutions that each claim the best dish and sets up the competitions. The show’s crew visits two new cities each week.
The show stars Michael Symon, an Ohioan who owns several restaurants in Cleveland. He won the Food Network's "The Next Iron Chef" in 2007, which makes him a superstar of the network.
