Truth, justice, ice cream

I knew that, once again, Taste of the Town readers would come through!

In response to Jane Kidd, a former Michigander who’s looking for Superman ice cream for her daughter, whom she describes as “very pregnant,” fellow readers Janice Giannosa and Charlee Rodriguez each produced a small-town source: Grandma Daisy’s Candy & Ice Cream Parlor in Boulder City and the Inside Scoop in Overton.

The ice cream is called Scooper Hero and is made by Blue Bunny, and a call confirmed it’s in the requisite colors of bright blue, red and yellow.

Grandma Daisy’s is at 530 Nevada Way, on one of Boulder City’s main drags; the Inside Scoop is at 395 S. Moapa Valley Blvd. on Overton’s only main drag. …

For Dee Wolff, who’s looking for fresh halvah, Gerry Baxter recommended Bagel Cafe, which is at 301 N. Buffalo Drive, and Marv Unell suggested Weiss Restaurant Deli & Bakery at 2744 N. Green Valley Parkway in Henderson. …

For Lisa Haley, who’s looking for Dennison’s chili with no beans, Baxter reported spotting it at the Wal-Mart Supercenter at 540 Marks St. in Henderson. …

For Kris Kantebet, who’s looking for ginger sauce/dressing similar to those served in Japanese restaurants, Carole Manganaris emailed to say she uses Maple Grove Farms of Vermont’s sesame-ginger dressing, which she gets at Smith’s at 55 Valle Verde Drive in Henderson. …
