Food Republic: Master Your Cone at Home

Malek is the creative director of Salt & Straw, Portland's legendary artisanal ice cream shop (and soon to be in LA, too), which means he's the guy creating awesome flavors based on local ingredients like goat cheese/marionberry/habanero, bone marrow/smoked cherry and a whole lineup of wacky Thanksgiving flavors. I hopped on the phone with young Tyler (dude's only 26) and got the lowdown on becoming an at-home pint champion.
