Okay, we finished up the MBIP Mac & Cheese Tour last week, so it’s time to cleanse the palate and announce the next summer food tour!
I thought it would be fun to go get some ice cream at Emack & Bolio’s in the Heights to wash away those 15 cheesy weeks! So it’s off to Emack’s we go!
And through the miracle of these here interwebs…baboom…here we are at Emack & Bolio’s in Peoria Heights!
Let’s go in and get our palate cleansed!
It looks fantastic in here and it’s nice and cool on this warm summer afternoon!
Cathy, who owns the place with her husband, Matt, was behind the counter and she took my order and said it was fine to take some photos in here.
So let’s go and do exactly that!
This side wall is a cool ice creamy dreamy mural. They also have a “Marker Wall” where you can leave a personalized message on the wall in here!
I love the framed vintage Lollapalooza posters on the walls in here!
Here’s a nice corner table that overlooks everyone going by on Prospect Road in Peoria Heights.
Almond Coconut Bar is the June Flavor of the Month for those of you keeping score!
Wow, check out all the different selections of cones and edible bowls they have in here! Suhweet!
There’s Cathy’s husband Matt. These two bought Emack and Bolio’s last year and opened it up under their ownership last November.
They said it’s been a lot of work, but it’s also been a lot of fun. They told me they wanted to keep this fun business going in the Heights.
I applaud this kind of thinking and encourage you to stop by and enjoy some of their delicious ice cream and support this locally owned and run business!
I got so involved talking with Cathy and Matt, I almost forgot to take a picture of my palate cleansing ice cream cone!
I got a single scoop of the Stoney’s Dream in a Butterfinger cone. It was rich, creamy, cool and delicious!

And now, on to the announcement for our next MBIP Food Tour!
Back in 2022 we did a Dog Days of Summer hot dog eating tour and I though we’d do that again this summer! Mybe we’ll make this an annual summer food tour!
Starting next Tuesday until Labor Day we’ll feature a different local hot dog and other surprises, so be sure and tune in!
