You’re lucky my mom taught me how to REALLY clean.
I woke up this morning really excited to get back out on the streets. Friday and Saturday were rain-outs, and Sunday is when I’m usually off. If you look down at my post from yesterday you’ll see that the soft-serve machine in demon-truck blew up while I was off. Pressure built up inside the machine [...]

Go! Eat! Win!
The BGICT is in the finals for a really cool award presented by The Street Vendor Project. This coalition helps NYC’s street vendors- most of whom are immigrants and could really use a hand- and sponsors an exciting event called The Vendy Awards. The finalists are chosen by write-in nominations and we’ll all be involved [...]
Make ‘em work for it!
Last week I issued a challenge via Twitter: a free ice cream for the first person to show up and sing, in its entirety, “Glitter and Be Gay” from the problematic Bernstein/Hellman operetta Candide.

Wrap it up. Serious Eats.
Today seemed fraught with mechanical difficulties. My truck hemorrhaged chocolate (the victim of a “busted cream seal,” a quote I’m still laughing about); therefore I had to take it back to the depot so that it could be sealed up. Once I got to Union Square nothing would freeze. Eventually I convinced the vanilla to [...]

BINGO!
I recently had my first chance at calling a game of Bingo. Will Clark hosts a night called “Porno Bingo” at a bar in the Village. You play bingo, the money goes to charity, and you can win some porn and hobnob with a porn guy or two. I was a guest caller (and did [...]
Friday 8-20. Lotsa pics!
Friday was another scorching day in NYC. As I was exiting the G Train in Brooklyn a woman fainted into my arms; an ambulance had to be called. Just loading up the truck’s supplies is enough to drain you for the day. At 1:00pn I parked at Union Square, and when making my first cone [...]
