Sixteen competitors from across North America will descend on Austin for the Gelato World Tour May 9-11, and the festival has just released the full list.
In addition to Austin's own Teo Gelato, competitors include Houston's Dolce Gelato and Sweet Cup Artisan Gelato, as well as New York's Il Laboratorio Del Gelato and more. The competitors were selected by Austin restauranteur (and alleged wine feuder) Damian Mandola and Luciana Polliotti, whom the press release calls "the most expert writer in artisan gelato." Check out the full list of competitors and their signature flavors below.
