Soft Serve Alert: Big Gay Ice Cream Truck Coming to L.A.

Great news for soft serve fans: New York's famous Big Gay Ice Cream truck is coming to L.A., and soon. They'll be pulling into town from October 23-27, stopping in to serve their traditional soft serve with a twist at Duff Goldman's Cakemix, Heath Ceramics, Grafitti, and Animal. They'll even be coming out to the Valley on Tuesday the 23, following the Kogi truck's route.
And the owners have some tricks up their sleeve. Says Eater:
"Founders Doug Quint and Bryan Petroff have also brought with them chef Fany Gerson to craft paletas and Humphry Slocombe's Jake Godby to serve as sous chef and prepare toppings in the Animal kitchen. As for flavors and such, think vanilla and dark chocolate soft serve swirled into Salty Pimp, Bea Arthur, or Cococone cones. Sundaes come topped with olive oil and fig, Maker's Mark bourbon butterscotch and more."

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
