Dandy Don’s Ice Cream is now being served at the legendary Tam O’Shanter restaurant in Los Feliz.  The 90-year-old Scottish-themed eatery is owned by the Lawry’s group.  They acquired the rights to keep selling and serving C.C. Brown’s Hot Fudge.  They make a huge, killer ice cream sundae with our ice cream and that wonderful hot fudge.

Chef Govind Armstrong has opened a new restaurant, Post & Beam, with his partner Brad Johnson.  They’re bringing sophisticated Southern food like deviled eggs with house-smoked catfish, grilled beer-brined pork chops, and long-cooked beans with ham hocks to Baldwin Hills.  There are also fresh California dishes on the menu like salads using produce from their patio garden, hand-stretched pizza pies cooked in a wood-burning oven, and roasted salmon with Romesco sauce.  Dessert involves Dandy Don’s Homemade Ice Cream!  Check it out.

We’ve developed a new flavor here in the lab of Dandy Don’s Ice Cream.  For St. Patrick’s Day, we give you the neon green Irish Vanilla.  You’re welcome!

Fukuburger owner Harry Morton, son of Peter Morton (Hard Rock Cafe founder) and grandson of Arnie Morton (Morton’s Steakhouse founder), was profiled in the March 5th edition of the Los Angeles Business Journal.  The LABJ mentioned how Harry also owns Pink Taco in Century City and The Viper Room.  Fukuburger, a Japanese-inspired burger joint, started as a food truck in Vegas. Harry approached the owners and made a deal with them.  We’re glad he did because now Fukuburger in Hollywood serves Dandy Don’s Ice Cream.

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.

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!

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 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?)

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.”
