Mama Ida Ice Cream Social at The Dallas Farmers Market: The Winners

Mama Ida and the winning team of Joshua Webster, Elvin Westbrook, Charles Miller, and Aaron Cessac.

Full disclosure: I overslept and missed the ice cream tasting, but I did get down to the Dallas Farmers Market in time to meet the winners and take their pictures. The 3rd Annual Mama Ida Ice Cream Social is a fundraiser for the Dallas Farmers Market Friends, founded by Ida Papert. Local culinary students and kids from the Dallas County Youth Village are given local ingredients and a chance to compete for a cash prize.

Congratulations this year go to “Reckless Abandonment,” a sub team of Le Cordon Bleu Cooking School for their roasted fig and brandy ice cream. And kudos to Parigi chef Chad Hauser for immediately asking the winners to supply his restaurant with their ice cream.
