Cousins Kim and Tyler Malek opened [Salt & Straw Ice Cream ](https://saltandstraw.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw2cWgBhDYARIsALggUhpH34u2CudYBU0In5Q0VqEUiLA2YoHDgfzNRwp1rjpKltelaEbAWbMaAleeEALw%5FwcB&ref=cascadepbs.org)over a decade ago in Portland, Oregon, and from the very start they were scooping up unusual flavor combinations like pear & blue cheese and bone marrow with bourbon smoked cherries.

Tyler shares the WORST flavor he's ever made (hint: there was seafood involved) & they talk about Grandma Malek, the matriarch behind both of their last meals. 

Food historian [Sarah Lohman](https://sarahlohman.com/?ref=cascadepbs.org) joins the show to talk about the history of ice cream (Black Americans played a huge role) and we'll learn about Staten Island's delightful [Enoteca Maria](https://www.enotecamaria.com/wp/?ref=cascadepbs.org), a restaurant staffed by a rotating crew of grandmothers who cook up dishes from their native countries.
