Some people like hot fudge and pecans on their sundaes. But a Minneapolis chef has people lining up in uptown to top their frozen treats with things like curried peanuts and extra virgin olive oil.

Sameh Wadi is behind the innovative Milkjam Creamery, as well as restaurants World Street Kitchen and Saffron.

In addition to cheffed-up versions of traditional ice cream flavors and toppings, Milkjam also serves grown-up floats with beer, Lambic ales, and sparkling wine.

Wadi sat down with All Things Considered host Tom Crann to talk about his take on all things ice cream.
