Could this be the best $5 you've ever spent? 

Two words: Choco Taco. But not the packaged kind you pawned off the ice cream man. This one is fresh from the back of Hub Ice Cream Factory, where the employees dutifully make their own waffle cones and pipe in a thick vanilla bean ice cream, covering the top with Callebaut dark chocolate and salted roasted peanuts. The shop, which opened downtown in May, specializes in gourmet versions of childhood favorites. But there's something about this dessert that rockets it to the top of the list, above the soda float and ice cream cookie. Is it the addicting contrast between the smooth ice cream and crunchy chocolate? The fact that you don't need a spoon? Oh I don't know, maybe I just like tacos! 245 E.
