Fourteen gelato artisans from across the US and Canada gathered Thursday at New York's prestigious James Beard House to compete in the Gelato World Tour - #newyork Challenge. The winner, Coconut Pineapple by #kellychu, owner of Cirsea from Charleston, South Carolina, earned a spot in the Grand Finale in Rimini, Italy this September. Chu has been making ice cream and frozen desserts for almost 15 years, and her creamery shop, Cirsea opened within the last two years. Her winning flavor, Coconut Pineapple, was created especially for the Gelato World Tour #event. Special Mention was given to the flavor Coast to Coast by James Coleridge, Bella Gelateria, Vancouver, Canada, and the People's Choice was awarded to Goat Cheese with Fig Balsamic Reduction by Vincenzo Tettamanti, Gemelli Gelato, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
