Restaurants: It’s time to order heart-shaped truffles for Valentine’s Day from Dandy Don’s Ice Cream. We have white-chocolate and dark-chocolate covered ice cream hearts with sorbet centers.
New Ice Cream Client, The Slaw Dogs
Dandy Don’s welcomes its newest ice cream client: The Slaw Dogs. Slaw Dogs is a unique hot dog restaurant located in Pasadena, CA. It recently opened a new branch in Woodland Hills. Slaw Dogs starts with many different kinds of hot dogs (kosher dogs, spicy links, chicken-apple sausage, veggie dogs) and then creates a myriad of gourmet toppings for its customers to choose from. Of course there’s coleslaw and Thai slaw (hence the name), sauerkraut, relish, grilled onions, and jalapenos. But then there are the esoteric toppings like curry mustard, goat cheese, kimchi, truffle oil, and more. Sides include Belgian fries, sweet-potato fries, and beer-battered onion rings. Check it out!
Congrats to Graeter’s Ice Cream
We know there are other ice cream companies out there working every day to create a wonderful product. One of those companies is Greater’s Ice Cream located in Cincinnati, Ohio. Dandy Don’s Ice Cream wishes to extend a hearty congratulations to Greater’s Ice Cream for being awarded Plant of the Year by Dairy Foods magazine. You can read the cover story about them here. And here’s a nice photo of the owners, fourth-generation owners at that.
Dandy Don at Burger City Grill
Dandy Don visited a new ice cream account, Burger City Grill in Lomita, CA. They have a new combo–America’s favorite buger combo–of a burger, fries, and a shake (made with Dandy Don’s Ice Cream, of course). Here’s a photo of Dandy Don with the crew from Burger City Grill. (Notice the tubs of Dandy Don’s Ice Cream behind them on the right?)
Fox All-Star Party at Gladstone’s
Dandy Don’s Homemade Ice Cream was served to the stars at the Fox All-Star Party at Gladstone’s. The party celebrated Fox’s television shows including “Glee” and “So You Think You Can Dance.” Stars like Lea Michelle, Jane Lynch, Naya Rivera, and Cat Deeley were there along with Zooey Deschanel from the show “New Girl” and Paula Abdul from “American Idol.”
It’s Getting Hot Out There
Now that the weather is warming up, folks are calling Dandy Don’s Ice Cream Catering to bring ice cream sundaes to their offices and homes. This Memorial Day weekend is already booked solid and the 4th of July (Monday) is filling up fast. Call us soon at 818-994-0111 to reserve a spot on our calendar if you’re thinking of booking an ice cream social.
Ice Cream Club
We here at Dandy Don’s Ice Cream are thinking about starting up an Ice Cream Club. We would send out one pint per month perhaps to willing ice cream eaters. We would ship our classic flavors like Vanilla Bean and Cappuccino Crunch, our seasonal flavors like Harry’s Berries Strawberry and Pumpkin Praline, and experimental or very limited-run flavors like Birthday Cake Ice Cream. If this sounds good to you, give us a call or send an email to [email protected] to let us know.
Staff Appreciation Week
Staff Appreciation Week is April 25-29. A hot fudge sundae bar from Dandy Don’s Ice Cream will show your staff how much you value their hard work.
Valentine Sundae Bars
All Dandy Don’s Ice Cream hot fudge sundae bars served during the month of February will include sweet hearts, red hots and Valentine decorations at no extra cost! We want to be YOUR Valentine!
It’s Affogato Time!
Now that it’s cold outside, affogato is a must. What’s that, you ask? Why an affogato is an Italian treat of a scoop of ice cream (usually Vanilla Bean) drowning in a shot of hot espresso. Steamy and cold all at once. Delicious! When we serve affogato treats, we have people who like to mix it up by adding a bit of hot fudge or using Chocolate ice cream. We hand them out with a Biscoff cookie for that authentic European touch.
