'We'll do a magic trick for you, or two. We'll juggle for you. We have a contortionist on staff,' Sideshow Gelato owner owner Jay Bliznick said.
Where can you get great gelato and a sideshow worthy of a circus - jugglers, a contortionist, and all? We found a place in Lincoln Square; it's one of Chicago's hidden gems.
With flavors like dark chocolate with blueberry jam and cayenne pepper, the exact recipes are secret. CBS 2's Joe Donlon saw them, but our cameraman couldn't, and the operation is pretty low maintenance.A former restaurant chef, Bliznick said he fell in love with gelato on a family trip to Italy. He took lessons from a master gelato maker, but it as a hard start.
But he's done it well enough to attract the attention of magic and gelato lover Penn Gillette, of Penn and Teller. "Penn wants to get behind the counter and scoop gelato," Bliznick said."There's going to be gelato everywhere, I just know it.""This, in itself, would entertain most people, but I know you guys are sophisticated, refined, and have the internet," he told a group of kids visiting the shop.
