Nick's intro[]
Tempe, AZ
Tempe, Arizona: settled in the late 1860s as Hayden's Ferry to provide agricultural support to nearby Fort McDowell, the subsequent arrival of the railroad, construction of the Roosevelt Dam, and Arizona statehood combined to allow it to develop into a thriving center of habitation. With a scorching average summer temperature of 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius), it's one of the hottest cities in North America.
In 1988, locals Susan and Donald Sutherland, no relation to the distinguished actor, opened an ice-cream parlor to help cool down this arid, sun-scorched hellhole.
In the U.S., the F.D.A. regulates ice-cream labeling, from 'economy' to 'regular' to 'premium' to 'super premium,' which is the highest of their high-end. The Sutherlands distinguished their parlor by selling their own store-made super-premium ice cream and by offering a unique preparation involving folding mix-ins in front of the customer atop a frozen granite slab, which gives the chain its name.
Whether, to quote its sizing scheme, you "like it, love it, or gotta have it," you can't deny its success with its hundreds of worldwide locations, and growing after nearly thirty years of operation.
This week on Doughboys: Cold Stone Creamery.

Snack or Wack[]
Reese's Stuffed with Pieces
In Snack or Wack, the Doughboys have a snack and decide if it is 'good' or 'bad.'
For this episode, they try Reese's Stuffed with Pieces, which are Reese's Peanut Butter Cups stuffed with Reese's Pieces.
They all thought these were good, but felt the added Pieces didn't bring enough to the snack.

The Feedbag[]
| “ | One of my favorite things to do is hit the grocery store for breakfast before work across the street. My preference is to get a breakfast sandwich at their mini-restaurant that takes so long to prepare my food there that I often don't have time. More often than not, I end up buying a pre-made lunch or dinner sandwich at the deli counter, so I end up eating a turkey BLT or a chicken caesar sandwich. When I tell people this, they think I'm insane like I've broken some rule.
My question is: why is it weird to eat a turkey sandwich on bread for breakfast, but OK to eat a sausage sandwich on a biscuit? |
