Thought we melted away?

Nah.

The shop may have closed, but Big Awesome Ice Cream is still rolling for catering.

Today we served up BBQ and ice cream for the crew at Atlas Bituminus. If they aren’t making your asphalt… it probably ain’t made right. We were just there making sure the sundaes were, too.

Thanks for having us, Atlas. 🍦

Apparently we’re nominated again.

We’re not reopening the ice cream window in Cato.

In a small town, community matters. And what you stand for matters—especially when it involves kids, families, and the kind of place you want to live in.

Everyone can have opinions. I chose to stand on mine.

I did what I felt was right. I made my point. I’m good with it.

We appreciate everyone who showed up—whether it was for ice cream or for the reason we were there.

We’re not going anywhere. Just closing the window.

Need ice cream? We’ll bring it to you.

We’re looking for one solid person to come up with us on the food truck.

You start on the truck.
You learn how it actually runs.
You keep up.
You show up when you say you will.

If that works, you take on more:
Running shifts.
Opening and closing.
Leading a crew.
Making calls when it’s busy.

At some point, that includes towing the trailer — which means starting and ending days in Cato / Weedsport.

Until then, we’re all over the place, so reliable transportation is required.
If getting here is a daily adventure, this won’t be a good fit.

This setup works well for people with flexible schedules —
consistent evenings and weekends, with some daytime work popping up in July and August.

Start part-time while things are still in session.
Be ready to roll solo by the end of June.

If this sounds like you, message us.

We’ve been closed since August.
It’s January.

It’s snowing.
There’s no school tomorrow.
And a big ice cream sundae sounds right.

Hot fudge. Peanut butter sauce. Whipped cream. Cherry.

Snow days mess with your head.

I’m gonna be honest…
I didn’t even know there was a vote happening.

Meanwhile Syracuse was out here handing us Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Top Picks like it was nothing.

We didn’t ask. We didn’t campaign.
You just ate and apparently spoke up.

Respect.

🔥 FUNDRAISING, BUT MAKE IT DELICIOUS 🔥

Need to raise money for your school, team, fire department, church, or community group…

Yeah. Same.

👉 We’ve got a better plan:
BIG. AWESOME. BBQ. FUNDRAISERS.

We roll in with real food, cooked fresh out of our trailer, serve your crowd, and a portion of sales goes straight back to your organization.
No inventory. No upfront cost. No awkward sales pitches.

Just:
✔ Legit BBQ
✔ Happy people
✔ Money raised the right way

Perfect for:
• Schools & booster clubs
• Sports teams
• Fire & EMS
• Churches
• Scout packs
• Local organizations

Because fundraising shouldn’t feel like a punishment.
It should smell like smoke and taste like victory.

Dessert meets defense.

In a delicious twist, new research suggests that ice cream long considered a guilty pleasure might actually offer heart health benefits. The study found that people who consumed moderate amounts of ice cream showed lower risks of cardiovascular disease compared to those who didn’t.

The reason? Scientists believe the unique combination of dairy fats, calcium, and certain amino acids may help regulate blood sugar and support vascular function. Unlike ultra-processed desserts, traditional ice cream made with real milk and natural ingredients may offer protective effects when enjoyed in balance.

It’s not a green light to binge, but it challenges the idea that all sweets are harmful. When paired with an active lifestyle and whole-food diet, a scoop of ice cream might just be a small act of self-care for both the heart and soul.

Sometimes, science serves up sweetness with a side of surprise.
