I saw this today. They are remodeling the "food & wine" building to put in a gelato station. This is the building in Italy that sold coffee & wine. They are also remodeling the display kitchen area by the restaurant. This is a really quick turn around job, start 2/20 complete 3/12, just in time for preview weekend. So I guess the real question is, what exactly is gelato?

What are you talking about? Gelato and ice cream in Italy has roots traced back as far as ancient rome.
Gelato in San Marco fits a billion times more than pizza in Das Festhaus.
Gelato has twice the sugar as American ice cream. I remember having some a while back and it is extremely sweet and delicious. It is sure to be a hit especially on those hot summer days.
Not really. It has about the same sugar.

Well sure you can trust that, but it also depends on who is making it. Someone could make it with extra sugar 
Also, that was a line in an old-ish movie. I didn't expect it to be true or anything.

Would that be the Lizzie McGuire movie?

Not true at all!
I've had gelato all over this country and even in Italy and never had any sweeter than any Ben & Jerry's flavors.
The difference between the two is that gelato has a different churning process and has less fat than ice cream because it's made with more milk. Gelato is also a lot more dense than ice cream because it has less air added during this process. And because of this process this gives gelato a more robust and intense flavor than ice cream.
I thought we already discussed how wrong I was and I fully admitted to me being wrong in my previous post.
No, your ignorance of Italian frozen delights shall be remembered forever. You will regret ever mentioning it.
I recall a travel channel show saying that it has less sugar and fat than ice cream. Its much for healthy than Ice Cream and tastes better IMO. Can't remember the name of the show though...
Stuff like this is the reason why I want the season to start.
