Jen Levinson, a bubbly energetic mom of 5 boys who writes a daily email blast, mentioned Dandy Don’s Ice Cream Social in a Box in her Friday email.  After a short description of the portable ice cream party she said: “We just had it at a family get together and it was a total hit!”

Thanks, Jen!

Pulitzer-prize winning food writer Jonathan Gold of the L.A. Weekly mentioned Dandy Don’s Ice Cream in a story he wrote about hot dogs.  While talking about Marty D’s, he said, “There is a lot to like about Marty D’s, from the excellent French fries to the hot-fudge sundaes made with Dandy Don’s ice cream, from the Brill Building songs on the sound system to the almost aggressively cheerful demeanor of the staff.”

Thanks, Jonathan.  We like you, too.  For the full article, click here: http://www.laweekly.com/2008-07-10/eat-drink/dog-day-afternoon-bites-of-chicago-in-l-a/
