The Sugar Bowl - YUM

I like to schedule business meetings with my favorite people outside of the office. The day can be long sitting inside, so why not get out and talk work over something yummy?

I've worked with this particular sales rep for the past 3+ years over the course of 3 different jobs! He sells newspapers in many different markets and makes it a "one stop shop" for me and my media buying. It has become tradition for us to skip the usual business lunch and do dessert instead.

This past visit, we went to the Sugar Bowl in Old Town Scottsdale. I've wanted to go here for years now and finally had an excuse! You may recognize this ice cream parlor because it has frequently been featured in Bil Keane's Family Circus cartoons.

I had the Top Hat Sundae. It is FABULOUS. It's a HUGE creampuff filled with vanilla ice cream and topped with hot fudge. It's the most popular sundae on their menu and according to them it's enjoyed by several area baseball stars.
My rep Rich and the company's VP of Interactive Media each had banana splits. They were giddy over them and they disappeared before my eyes!

It was such a great meeting (yes, we were productive too) and needless to say, I didn't eat dinner that night :)
