Synopsis[]

Nick's intro[]
"I am the cream in the World Wrestling Federation and there is no doubt about it, yeah! Mean Gene Okerlund, you know that I'm the cream of the crop!"
Macho Man Randy Savage
These words, delivered while holding aloft a disposable single-serve container of coffee creamer, are from a legendary promo by pro wrestler, Macho Man Randy Savage.
One of the greatest showmen in wrestling history, as famed for his flashy wardrobe and gravelly gargling voice as his in-ring technique, Savage was among the biggest stars of the squared circle in the '80s and '90s and achieved mainstream exposure as the pitchman for Slim Jim's, the meat-flavored convenience-store stick.
That Savage chose to boast of his kayfabe grappling process by using 'the cream of the crop' cliché, comparing himself to the fatty top coat of milk, speaks to cream's status as a decadent dairy delight. And as the artisan ice-cream movement grew in the 21st century, cream itself became centered in many brands' marketing as premium parlors embraced the term "creamery."
Among those creameries was a Brooklyn parlor opened in 2011 by the husband-and-wife team of Brian Smith and Jackie Cuscuna. With Smith focused on the product and Cuscuna focused on the brand, this sweet treat inter-gender tag team drew huge lines to their shop and would soon expand throughout the borough, then the city, then the greater metropolitan area.
Despite their relatively small footprint, they were even given the license to make ice cream for Star Wars: The Force Awakens for its 2015 release and sold 40,000 pints of their limited light and dark edition flavors.
Today, with Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker just weeks from release, the frozen-dairy chain has seventeen locations, including one in Los Angeles, and one at Disney Orlando.
But does this Brooklyn-based ice-cream shop deserve its enormous hype?
Does their cream, as the Macho Man declared himself, and as Star Wars promises of Skywalker, indeed rise?
This week on Doughboys: Ample Hills Creamery.
