It’s been cooler the past few days, but summer ain’t over yet if the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck (run by Bryan Petroff and Douglas Quint) is still going strong. Bionic Bites Facebook peeps know I’ve been eating lots of ice cream at the truck this summer, but my favorite is still the Salty Pimp ($5), vanilla soft serve on a wafer cone drizzled with dulce de leche, sprinkled with sea salt, and dipped in chocolate.
