Chicago, IL (PRWEB) May 1, 2004
I scream, you scream, we're all screaming for fresh ice cream this month, now that Bobtail Soda Fountain has opened its doors to those looking for more than just the average ice cream shop. Located on the border of trendy Lincoln Park and eclectic Lakeview (2951 N. Broadway at the corner of Broadway and Wellington), co-founders Jeff Wilcoxon and Christopher Hill know that you cant go wrong with tradition, style and great homemade taste.
Promising to provide the premier soda fountain experience, Bobtail will combine the charm, nostalgia, and warmth of a classic hometown ice cream parlor with the sophistication, energy and quality of a contemporary urban café.
"Jeff and I are strong believers in local tradition, homemade quality, and fair value. The inspiration for this store is that small town parlor with a friendly face that so many of us knew as kids. Our ice cream is the best Ive ever tasted, our coffee and tea are of the highest quality, and our trademark Belgian waffles are unlike anything available." says co-founder Christopher Hill.
A grand opening weekend complete with tastings, free cones, giveaways and a ribbon cutting ceremony will be held Saturday and Sunday, June 5 - 6 at 2:00 pm.
Derived from the nickname of the handle on an old-fashioned soda fountain, Bobtail will produce each homemade batch in the on-site, glass-enclosed ice cream "factory". Customers will be able to watch as more than 20 classic, seasonal and locally inspired ice cream flavors, such as Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip and Signature Sunset (merlot ice cream with pieces of dark chocolate), are created right before their eyes. The menu also features a low-carb vanilla, fat-free sorbets, and low-fat frozen yogurt for those seeking a healthier indulgence.
Beyond the factory, the action continues as soda jerks prepare fresh sundaes, classic sodas, floats, and innovative creations like the Cream Espress (a thick vanilla milkshake topped off with a double shot of espresso). Customers can experience the action from the counter seats at the end of the production line and a marble-top bar overlooking the factory.
Unlike most ice cream shops, when the inevitable Chicago winter rolls around, Bobtail doesnt miss a step, since each day begins at 6:00 am with a freshly baked batch of sweet Belgian waffles and muffins, Lavazza coffees and espressos, organic teas by Numi, and fruit juices. Other year-round warm specialties include homemade hot chocolates and hot-fudge fondue.
Bobtails super-premium ice cream is made from the best ingredients available and served in the classic hard-pack style. The recipes were carefully crafted, through research and taste tests, to match the creaminess of other high-end ice creams but offer reduced butterfat content and calories so the subtleties of each flavor shine through.
The shops interior and exterior design was provided by The Gettys Group, a premier Chicago-based interior design and architecture company that has won national recognition for many of its hospitality and restaurant design projects. Utilizing a mix of both traditional and contemporary design elements, they developed a distinctive interior design that attempts to reflect the diverse Lakeview marketplace.
Contemporary accents include a flat-screen television and mosaic tile doorstep, while a classic stainless steel fountain, white marble countertops and a collection of photographs and collectibles give an authentic feel of days gone by. An outdoor patio with lantern lighting and music provides a perfect setting to enjoy the entire experience on a warm summer evening.
The premier soda fountain will offer corporate and private catering services starting this summer. For special occasions, made-to-order cakes are available or you can create a completely personalized, 20-quart batch of ice cream combining any of the ingredients on the core menu.
The Bobtail Soda Fountain concept was initially developed by Jeff Wilcoxon and Christopher Hill through the Edward L. Kaplan New Venture Challenge, an annual business plan competition at the University of Chicago, Graduate School of Business (GSB). Inspiration came from the Wilcoxons family-owned Johnsons Real Ice Cream in Bexley, Ohio and 50-years of small town ice cream tradition. John Rutledge, a fellow GSB alumnus, successful Chicago-based hospitality/real estate entrepreneur and private equity investor, and co-founder and president of The Oxford Capital Group began collaborating with Jeff and Chris in the spring of 2003. He signed on as lead investor, strategic advisor, and CEO of the new company.
"Chris and I thought it would be great if we could take this plan and continue the tradition of my familys ice cream shop," says co-founder Jeff Wilcoxon. "I grew up watching my father and grandfather serve the best ice cream in town. Weve taken their proven formulas and refined them into our own recipes. We are ready to deliver a unique soda fountain experience to Chicago. Its been fun to watch people rate our ice cream ahead of all the prominent brands during taste tests. You really have to taste it to believe it."
Mr. Rutledge is a member of the advisory board of the Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship at the Chicago GSB. Building on this connection to the University of Chicago, and its founders commitment to providing educational opportunities universally, Bobtail will donate a percentage of its annual revenue to both local and national educational initiatives. Among the first beneficiaries will be Chicagos Inner City Teaching Corps, whose honorary chair is Mayor Richard M. Daley.

Low Carb and Atkins Diet Tips
When doing the Atkins Diet or other low carb diet, it's easy to get stuck in a rut and have the same old foods every day. And getting bored with your food choices is one of the quickest ways to fall off your diet! So it is helpful to get hold of some Atkins and low carb menu plans and a good low carb cookbook to ensure your diet is varied and enjoyable.
Atkins dieters and other low carbers often get fed up with packing a salad and cutlery for lunch at work or on a day out, and think wistfully back to the days of putting their ham and salad in a sandwich. Low carb breads are available on the Internet and in some shops, but even these may be too high in carbs for some people. However, low carb breads containing little more than a gram of net carbs per slice can be made from flax and other healthy ingredients. Low carb cookbooks which include bakery recipes (the minority) usually include recipes for flax bread.
If you are on the Atkins or other low carb diet, you may need to boost the fiber you get from your green vegetables and salads. There are various fiber supplements you can take in capsule form or mixed with water, but how much nicer to incorporate your added fiber into your cooking. For instance, fiber-rich flax seeds and soya bran can be used in making low carb bread, muffins, chocolate refrigerator cake and even fish cakes and 'breaded' fish or chicken.
When starting the Atkins or other low carb diet, many people find the most difficult thing is making the change to a whole new way of thinking in the kitchen. A low carb cookbook will help with this, but it's important to choose one which focuses on everyday, quick and easy recipes and shows you how to make low carb versions of the foods you miss most, be they bread, cookies, pies, quiche, sauces, ice cream, risotto, lasagna or whatever. Many of the so-called low carb or Atkins cookbooks just provide recipes for meals comprising meat, fish, eggs or cheese coupled with salad or green vegetables, which you can find in any cookbook.
Breakfast on the Atkins Diet isn't just about bacon and eggs! Try porridge made with dessert-type ricotta cheese, flax seeds, soya bran and unsweetened desiccated coconut. Just put a teaspoonful of each dry ingredient into your bowl and cover with hot water, leaving for a few moments. Then mix in the ricotta and warm in the microwave, adding artificial sweetener and a pinch of cinnamon to taste. Or try making low carb crunchy breakfast cereal or granola.
High in vitamins, minerals and 'good' fats, nuts are making something of a comeback in healthy eating and their low carbohydrate content means they are also perfect for dieters on Atkins and other low carb diets. But don't just think of them as something to nibble raw -- ground into nut flours, they're also great for use in low carb bake mixes.
Dietary needs and preferences differ, so when considering which low carb or Atkins Diet cookbook to buy, why not think about getting an interactive one? For instance, you might want to be able to adjust the recipes to suit your likes and dislikes, and even recalculate the carb counts if you substitute ingredients or change serving sizes. Or you might want to add low carb recipes of your own. A good interactive cookbook will not only organize and index your own recipes along with the existing recipes, it will allow you to import recipes from elsewhere as well.
When choosing a low carb cookbook, be sure to check which ingredient measurement system it uses. The best cookbooks show ingredients in metric and imperial as well as cup measures, so that you do not have to spend time converting ounces into cups or cups into grams and so on.

Low Carb Snacks That Kids And Adults Will Love
It's the highlight of any school day - recess. This is applicable to any grade-schooler. But as parents, we pretty much have to put healthy and low-carb snacks in our children's lunch boxes. Bear in mind that when a kid gains weight at such a young age, he will have a difficult time shedding the excess pounds when he gets older.
Cakes, candied cereals, ice cream, flavored popcorn, cookies, candies, muffins and all kinds of pastries may seem so appealing. I bet your mouth is watering simply by reading that passage. Sure these are low in fat, but take note, these are relatively high in calories.
But there is a way for us to satisfy our sweet tooth craving the Low Carb Way. First of all, you must have the control to not reach in for the chips and crackers in between meals, or else you're engaging in a low-carb diet will turn out to be completely pointless.
A low carb snack must ideally have healthy fat, protein and fiber. If you are having eggs or jerky, you might as well have vegetables with it.
Here's a rundown of low-carb snacks you can consider munching on:
- Celery with tuna salad
- Celery with peanut butter
- Hard boiled eggs
- Pickles and cheddar cheese
- Berries and cottage cheese
- Nuts. Best serve when kept in freezer.
- Sunflower seeds
- Pumpkin seeds
- Jerky like turkey or beef. Find the low-sugar variety
- Shakes. Make sure it's low carb though
- Cheese sticks
- Sugar free jello
- Apple slices
- Sugar free yogurt flavored with berries
- Lettuce roll ups on luncheon meat, tuna, or egg salad
- Lettuce dipped in bean dip, spinach dip or other low carb dip
- Ricotta cheese with nuts, fruit or seeds
- Mushroom and cheese spread
- Low carb snack bars
Take note though that just because these are low-carbohydrate, these snacks are healthy. It may be popular and has already dominated the snack food companies and market but as a consumer, you must still be careful when choosing the low-carb snacks you will provide yourself and your family.
First off, low carb snack bars. There are tons of snack bars to choose from in the grocery. Not all of them provide good nutrition. Some low carb snack bars are there to maintain phases of low carb diets because they still contain calories. The sugar they have contain alcohol. Alcohol sugars in low carb snack bars will be difficult to digest and result to gas.
If you choose to settle for low-carb cookie mixes, then the best we can recommend are the low-carb chocolate chip cookies mix and the low-carb peanut butter cookies mix. Simply because, peanut butter is already an example of low-carb snack and chocolate chip cookies' sugar content is balanced out with the help of the eggs and butter (light) mix.
If you would like to try out low carb shakes, make sure to read the labels so you will have an idea of the nutritional content. Double check if the shake mix are low on glycemic.
As pointed out by Dr. Robert Atkins in his Atkins diet, the cause of weight gain is "stodgy" food like bread and potatoes. More often than not, dieters trying out the low-carb diet often complain that they miss eating bread. If it is any consolation, there are some low carb breads out there in the market. These low carb breads have added soy flour to the mix.
But that does not mean that this bread is wheat free. They are also not gluten free. So the best way for you to achieve success in the low-carb diet is to not eat bread entirely. Yeah, you will miss it but it is for the best.
Now, if you feel that you have been very good in sticking with your low-carb diet and deserve to have a binge day once in a while, you can do so. Does pizza sound good? Well, glad to inform you that there are low-carb crust pizza with healthy toppings that is most suitable for the low-carb dieter. Fresh marinara on pizza sauce added with goat cheese, basil, vegetables and tomatoes are enough for a dieter's mouth to water.
Being on a low-carb diet does not mean that you will repress yourself, it only means you have to regulate what you put in your mouth.

Experts Agree You Can Eat Diabetic Desserts on a Type 2 Diabetic Diet. Find a Free Diabetic Dessert Recipe at AmericanDiabetes.com
Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) April 20, 2005
Experts now agree that it is possible for diabetics to eat desserts on a type 2 diabetic diet. According to the American Diabetes Association website experts agree you can eat foods with sugar (such as desserts) as long as you work them into your meal plan as you would any other carb-containing food. These guidelines also apply to a range of sweeteners with calories, including honey, brown sugar, and molasses.
American Diabetes Services has a web page featuring your choice of a free diabetic dessert recipe on their website http://www.americandiabetes.com . The following diabetes dessert recipes can fit with a type 2 diabetic diet: broiled fruits with vanilla ice cream, raspberry mousse, diabetic brownies, lo-cal cheese cake, diabetic fudge, and oatmeal cookies.
Diabetics should be practical when eating fats and sweets. said Robert Weinroth, President of American Diabetes Services, a supplier of free diabetes supplies through Medicare and private insurance plans.

Medical experts have increased their knowledge of the causes of diabetes. In the past, diabetics were told to eat no sugar, as experts believed that sugar increased blood glucose and caused diabetes.

Diabetics can eat foods with sugar as long as they include them in a type 2 diabetic diet.
