We also have a coconut, raspberry and mango paletas in a glass with a shot of tequila, as well as a blueberry-balsamic macaron ice cream sandwich. We are offering a Rocky Roadhouse croissant, which is their trademarked flavor but in croissant form. The classics include the Dirty Banana, A Bump and a Shot (Pepper-Coke sorbet served with a shot of whiskey) and an Apricot Gobbler. LO: The way we broke it down,was to put some Big Gay classics on the menu, as well as my twist on their flavors. Alexa Bendek of Star ChefsĬan you share some of the desserts you’ll be doing? We want descriptions with all the glorious Instagrammable details, please. Nico Osteria Pastry Chef Leigh Omilinsky. And why not do some good while eating ice cream? I think it’s a really good way to bring some Pride celebrations to the Gold Coast neighborhood, without going into the madness of Boystown.

I love everything they stand for, plus I think they are cheeky and hilarious. LO: I have been an admirer of BGIC for years. We never considered passing on the opportunity. Nico Osteria is a great restaurant, Leigh is a genius and we both love Chicago.
#BIG GAY ICE CREAM NESTLE FULL#
It’s an interesting full circle because my mom actually worked there in the mid ‘90s.ĭQ: Nico Osteria invited us to collaborate. We will be offering a “Big Gay Menu” consisting of all of our collaborative sweet treats! A percentage of profits will go to Howard Brown, which is a healthcare center that has been celebrating and supporting LGBTQ communities for years. LO: Our collaboration will be a one weekend only thing, which is fleeting and super exciting. Tell us about your upcoming Chicago Pride collaboration. Because we didn’t know what we would be calling the truck I named the page “The big gay ice cream truck.” There you go. Certainly not a vanity name, no simple “Doug’s Ice Cream." I started a Facebook page for my ongoing diary and invited my friends to “like” it. Why did you decide to actually name your shop Big Gay Ice Cream?ĭQ: We wanted to name the truck but had no idea what to go with. I would have an ice cream truck that summer.īig Gay Ice Cream founders Bryan Petroff and Douglas Quinn.

One evening I looked at Facebook and her status message was “if any of you are looking for work this summer and want to drive an ice cream truck, let me know.” So there it was.
#BIG GAY ICE CREAM NESTLE DRIVERS#
Andrea was great at the ice cream truck game so the guy she worked for asked her to find some new drivers for the upcoming summer. Basic, simple, and so so cheap to get running. The overhead is nil – someone else owns the truck and your supplies come out of your earnings. You show up, you sign out a truck, you give a cut to the owner. Bosses own small fleets and use what amounts to “day labor” to run them. A detail – the majority of ice cream trucks in NYC are owned by very few people. My friend Andrea, a Juilliard-trained flutist, had spent the previous few summers working an ice cream truck. I kept an open mind and spent a few weeks watching “help wanted” on Craigslist. It would be fun to tell people about the summer job that blew up in my face. if the whole thing went totally wrong, so be it. It was only going to be for one summer and, of course, I wanted to do something successful but, honestly. I was feeling inspired by the great David Sedaris essay, “The Santaland Diaries,” in which Sedaris took a job as an elf at Macy’s just to see what being an elf at Macy’s was like. I didn’t know what I job I was looking for, I just knew that it needed to be experiential. I had just completed the comprehensive exams for my PhD and wanted to take a few months off from music. Back in the winter of 2009 I decided I would do “something else” that coming summer. I studied the bassoon at Juilliard, and then played with groups such as the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Boston Pops, American Ballet Theater and with numerous Broadways shows. Can you give us a little history about how you got started?ĭQ: I am a trained classical musician. First of all, Doug, I love your ice cream! Second of all, I love the name Big Gay Ice Cream.
