Sometime next month, I’m going to appear on What’s Good in Your Hood, a food show produced by Mitú, the Latino Buzzfeed. They approached me to talk about what people usually approach me to talk about: food, gentrification and SanTana. But I was pleasantly surprised at their restaurant of choice for the setting: La Flor de Michoacán, my favorite ice cream shop in la naranja. Mitú found out about the place gracias to my 2013 review, and I got to meet the owners, who said my review has brought the business ever since—BOOM.
I’m not going to give any spoilers here, but I will reveal my nieve of choice: mamey, the most underrated fruit not named soursop. You only see it prepared two ways in Southern California: as a drink (agua fresca or licuado—smoothie), or as ice cream. They have both at La Flor de Michoacán, but it’s best as ice cream: sweet like custard, pink like a Hello Kitty character, all muy muy. Check me out on What’s Good in Your Hood, then hit up La Flor, fam.??
ANNNNND…here’s the video!
