San Fernando Valley Business Journal
Thom Senzee wrote a nice profile of Dandy Don for the Entrepreneur section of the San Fernando Valley Business Journal on April 27, 2009. One of our favorite quotes: “After a couple of course corrections, Dandy Don’s HomeMade Ice Cream was well on its way to becoming a Southern California icon.” Thanks, Thom!

Chocolatt mentioned in Westside Today magazine
Westside Today magazine (covering Los Angeles’ West side) wrote a nice article about our client Chocolatt. . . from Belgium. In it Delores McKinney says, “One of the best eating chocolate sources in Los Angeles is Chocolatt from Belgium. This cheery little store on Wilshire Blvd is overseen by owner Tarcis Verfaillie who will soon celebrate six years in the neighbourhood.”
McKinney also mentions Dandy Don’s Ice Cream: “Delightful as chocolate is, this bright spot on Wilshire’s bland commercial face is not all about candy. There’s Dandy Don’s Ice Cream (home-made in Van Nuys), French croissants, Peerless Coffee, and ‘Velvet Hot Chocolatt’, a specially formulated recipe.”

Tutu’s Ice Cream reviewed by blogger
Tutu’s Hawaiian Ice Cream Shack in Simi Valley was reviewed by Brian on his EatMeCalifornia blog. You can read the whole review here http://eatmecalifornia.com/2009/02/27/aloha-oe-aloha-owwww/ but here’s an excerpt:
“One of the cool things about Tutu’s is that they offer the little things that other places don’t. Is your shave ice not as flavorful as you like? They’ll remake the syrup. It’s that kind of a joint. Plus they are the only place I know of that has a birthday cake ice cream that tastes like buttercream frosting. We’re not talking cake batter ice cream here, this is a whole new ballgame (and you know how much i love cake.)”
It seems Brian really likes the Birthday Cake flavor of ice cream Dandy Don’s created just for Tutu’s. We’re glad.
