Brooklyn Ice Cream Takedown

Sample scoops from 30 amateur ice-cream makers at this summery cooking contest. Then cast your vote to pick the People's Choice Award winner. Judges from Adirondack Creamery, Blue Marble and Il Laboratorio del Gelato will select the top flavors in a separate judges' category. Prepare for unusual varieties—in past years the frozen treats have featured offbeat ingredients like black pepper, jalapeños and (of course) bacon.
