GUEST PICK

Best Ice Cream/Frozen Yogurt

ENTREPRENEUR JEAN NIDETCH

     The 74-year-old woman who founded Weight Watchers in 1963 confesses that she hasn't eaten a conventional dessert "in years. ... This is God's truth."
     But Jean Nidetch, who moved to Las Vegas in 1991, does have a soft spot for frozen yogurt, which she apparently doesn't classify as dessert.
     TCBY, which has several locations throughout the valley, is her pick for the best frozen yogurt.
     "I go anyplace I can find it," says Nidetch, who still travels a great deal as a consultant to Weight Watchers International, which she and other stockholders sold to the H.J. Heinz Co. in 1978.
     "I always get the chocolate. I like plain chocolate. It's almost a comfort food."
