Happy Taste Tester Tuesday! We have a very special guest in the gelato room with us today, Jonathan Zaragoza. One of the best chefs in Chicago was in our gelato room and it was a true honor to have him here!
He came up with two super delicious gelato flavors for us to make, and they turned out absolutely amazing.
- Horchata Stracciatella Gelato & Mango Chamoy Sorbetto
Please head over to Massa Cafe in Elmwood Park to try them out! And check out all of Jonathan‘s pages if you haven’t already, especially his YouTube channel!!! See you next week, ciao!
