Ice Cream at the LA County Fair

After all the salt consumed by eating tons of deep fried foods like avocado and Oreos and a huge brick of cheese fries leaves one desiring sugar. The easy answer is Dr. Bob's in the farming area of the fair. When National Geographic released their 10 Best of Everything guide for travelers, Dr. Bob's Handcrafted Ice Creams came out at number two on the list.
Being blueberry ice cream fans, that's what we ordered and loved. To us, it definitely tied with the blueberry ice cream at Reimer's Candies & Ice Cream in Three Rivers, California just outside of Sequoia National Park.
