Chunk-N-Chip

Leave a comment


lavender blueberry ice cream on lemon zest cookies? red velvet cookies with stout smore’s ice cream? kettle chips and spicy candied bacon topped on white chocolate fudge ice cream with chipotle chocolate ganache cookies? yes, yes and yes.

you’re now deeper than ever in the fun-flavor realm ruled by the holiest and mightiest of ice cream sandwiches! here the truly amazing happens — cookies and ice cream are hand handcrafted in small batches with simple ingredients – without, you know… that whatchamacallit. warm ooey-gooey cookies. fresh made ice cream. Just old school craftsmanship and a ton of love.

we’re relentlessly adventurous, but don’t expect anything like foie gras ice cream. hey, even we have our limits.

welcome to the premier issue of Chunk-n-Chip… the Newsletter.

let’s dig in shall we!
from LA to OC and their surrounding neighborhoods, we travel far and low to bring our awesomeness to people who can’t get enough.

come visit us at one of these locations:

  • aug-22   marina del rey
  • aug-23   playa vista
  • aug-27   anaheim
  • aug-30   hawthorne
  • labor day weekend – fiesta hermosa
  • sept-3   cypress

for a complete listing of stops, CLICK HERE.

paletas (AKA “popsicles”)
available through september (and maybe october if the weather is good). we use fresh fruit from local farmers market, they’re vegan and gluten free!
flavors:
• minty berry lemonade frozen yogurt
• blood orange vanilla
• spicy mango & peach

ice cream pints
you asked for it, you got it…. now selling our decadent handcrafted ice cream by the pint – from the classics to fun flavors like
lavender blueberry or s’mores. check out the flavor selection for the week on facebook or twitter. available at the truck.

strawberry balsamic & cracked pepper (the three were made for each other.)    

chunk-n-chip just got sweeter (and tangy) with our latest ice cream concoction….. we start
with our classic handcrafted strawberry ice cream, and blend in just the right amount of small-batched balsamic
vinegar, infused with fig and vanilla bean, and a dash of cracked pepper to add that special something.
bu t wait… it get’s better… balsamic vinegar is then drizzled on top of your scoop and then capped off with
chopped mint leaves.  there’s nothing, um “strawberry about this new version of the classic.  available also by the pint.

ice cream sammich: the “butterfinger bites”

   
  inspired by nestle butterfinger bites, this sammich is sure to please all aficionados of our mumbo jumbo. our secret ingredient – the butterfinger bites “mashmallow fluff.” follow us on facebook or twitter to find out when it’s on the truck. 
we’ve been staying up nights, wondering…how much does chunk-n-chip really mean to you?

so that we can finally get some sleep, we’re holding a photo contest to find out.

just share a snap that shows how our sammiches and your world collide. that’s it.

winner will be chosen based on creativity and originality.


how to enter: share your photo on twitter or instagram with the hash tag #chunknchip or post on our facebook wall.

the prize: sammich party for you and 3 other flavor-frenzied friends!

deadline: contest runs from aug-23 to sept-6.

good luck & may the sammich force be with you!
 

forget about the signing of the declaration of independence or the invention of the light bulb. real history was made by ice cream and cookies.

ice cream sandwich – the current edition of the ice cream sandwich was invented in 1945 by jerry newberg while selling ice cream at forbes field. benjamin franklin didn’t even come close.


special shout out to ed and yona! these two loyal fans have been keeping tabs on chunk-n-chip for eons. hey, we can’t do it all. luckily, people like ed & yona are on board, firing feedback in our direction. that kind of involvement helps us create the ooey-gooiest, most tasty ice cream sandwiches in the known universe. thanks for always keepin’ it real guys!

name: ed & yona
favorite sammich: french laundry (brioche / lavender blueberry),
cuba libre (snicker doodle / guava goat cheese)  and their peanut butter cookies!
sammich moment: time they went above and beyond for some sammiches!

Aug 3: Last day for food trucks at SoCo

End of an Era but Not End of the Farmers’ Market

Food Truck Finale this Saturday!
image

You’ve probably already heard by now that this Saturday August 3rd, will be our last day of hosting food trucks at the farmers’ market. Everyone at SoCo is sad to see them go but let’s celebrate and send them off in style! This Saturday we’ll be joined by the delicious menus of: Tamarindo Truck, Seabirds Truck, Piaggio on Wheels, and Pulp Fusion.

In case you’re wondering (by the looks of our Facebook page, many of you are), the decision was out of our hands. The food truck departure is in the interest of SoCo and The Mix continuing to build its own eateries as the go-to dining destination in Orange County.

Starting next Saturday August 10th, SoCo will offer special “Produce Perks” to farmers’ market shoppers at their eateries. Green Leaf will offer farmers’ market shoppers a complimentary mimosa with the purchase of $10 worth of produce from our farmers. Stay tuned for more perks!

Please come out this Saturday to wish our trucks well. They’ve been instrumental in the success of our market and have been a great supporter of our farmers; purchasing local produce from them regularly. The market is here to stay and we’ll continue to grow, as will the excellent and notable dining destinations within SoCo and The Mix.
