Mon Jun 05 03:14:41 -0700 2000 0 Jim Leff 1 1535360 (No, it's not *my* microbatch ice cream...) I saw this ice cream at the supermarket that is part of "Guitar Center" shopping mall at Northern Blvd. and 48th St. Looked intriguing but they only had one flavor, "Cinnamon Bun" which does not really interest me as an ice cream flavor. Being as it's "microbatch" I guess they have different flavors available different days. Mon Jun 05 08:29:39 -0700 2000 1535359 0 Jeremy 2 1535397 I've gotten "Purple Passion Pills" at both D'Agostino and A&P, right here in Hell's Kitchen. It's pretty good as a substitute for B&J's retired vanilla chocolate mint patty (my absolute fave) - although the ice cream itself is purple. The "pills" are those little chocolate mint candies that you sometimes get in restaurants, in little bags of two. The company is not very micro, though - it's Nestle, I think, or some other of those huge scary conglomerates.

I think he was a kid when he started this company, maybe, but I'm not sure, from the Philly area. Wed Jun 07 23:00:26 -0700 2000 1535397 0 Bilmo 1 1535367 I had a similar eperience a couple of years ago, at a grimy little convenience store near my apt. There it was in the ice-cream case, but I didn't feel like trying the one flavor there, so I haven't had it either. But they have a web site (link below). *Everything* is animated, so it's annoyingly slow and cutesy, but it has details, and you can order through them. I didn't investigate the whole flavor list (as I said, annoyingly slow), but it includes "Wired" (vanilla with caffeine) and "Vanilla Stout Swirl" (no kidding)!

Mon Jun 05 13:03:36 -0700 2000 1535367 0 Caitlin 2 1535369 Star Markets in the Boston area carry Jeremy's Microbatch. I've only tried the Cinnamon Bun so far, but it's damn good. It's a nice midpoint between the intensity of Haagen Das and the complexity of Ben & Jerry's.

Ice Cream Reporter | October 20, 2000 | COPYRIGHT 2000 Ice Cream Reporter. Article excerpt: Just weeks after announcing a new strategic growth plan, Jeremy's MicroBatch Ice Creams reported on October 3 that it will discontinue operations and liquidate its assets to maximize value. The decision to shut down came less than a week after the company's President and CEO, Joseph Phillips, submitted his resignation. Phillips had joined the company in July, replacing founder Jeremy Kraus in those positions. Phillips is being retained by the company to wind-down the operations and to liquidate the assets. Jeremy's announced that it will entertain proposals "to maximize the ... " Sat Jul 18 11:33:25 -0700 2009 1535359 1094710 PeterPiper01
