Michael Recchiuti ice cream?

I hear its tasty, especially the burnt caramel but I haven't had any yet. Has anyone out there tried it? Opinions?

    I used to buy it from him outside at the Ferry building. It was wonderful.

      I had some at Piccino this week, the burnt caramel stuff. way too delicious. Not at all salty (I'm also a fan of the BiRite Creamery salty caramel ice cream), this was more burnt, which I truly loved. Another at my table found it too burnt, maybe his tastebuds are more refined? Worth checking into if you're in Dogpatch.

        Not "refined" tastebuds, but perhaps a supertaster who tastes certain flavors much more intensely and thus would have problems with the burnt or any bitter flavors.

        I really want to try this, as I love the burnt caramel sauce.

        If it tastes anything like his burnt caramel sauce, I'm there! Where did you see it?

          Is he making it again? He used to sell it at the Farmer's Market but when it moved to Ferry Plaza there was a problem of competition with Ciao Bella or something. I was one of his biggest fans. The burnt caramel was fantastic.
