Ice Cream's Burning Man near New London?

[jkarpf]

Recently someone from New London told me that she'd discovered a sort of regional, invitation-only event for ice cream. Lots of cream is trucked in and attendees bring ingredients for making dozens of unusual flavors. Plus there's activities like contra dancing.

She's a family friend I see annually; I'm sure she wasn't pulling my leg. But I don't have her contact info, so I'm hoping the fellow food nuts here will know about this. No, I'm not angling for an invite. My gf lets me get away with the occasional midnight steak or raw milk, but not a day (or more) of ice cream.

She might've said it was called Bait, or something sounding similar to that. A couple of hours of googling have been fruitless.

I live in the area and I've never heard of it, though I'll admit to not being very "connected" food-wise. You might want to call Mystic Drawbridge Ice Cream and ask if they know anything about it. It's locally owned so I'd guess if there's a big ice cream event around here, they'd know.

Yes, it exists. I don't know if it's near New London. People bring in LN2 (liquid nitrogen) and have a making-ice-cream-fest.

This is quite the puzzle! Can't you contact the friend and ask for more clues?

Baltic, CT (similar to bait?) is near New London.
