Ben & Jerry's hosting Dessert'd culinary experience
The chef-inspired, plant-based events aim to dazzle taste buds in several cities.
Ben & Jerry's said it is hitting the road this summer with a series of events showcasing the surprisingly delicious world of plant-based dining. The Burlington, Vt.-based ice cream company, better known for its euphoric chunks and swirls and pun-filled flavor names, will team up with award-winning chefs in Atlanta (Aug. 29), Denver (Sept. 4) and San Diego (Sept. 13) to unveil an over-the-top, one-night-only-dessert created for each city. The tour kicked off in Ben & Jerry's hometown of Burlington, Vt., earlier this summer.
Ticket-holders for "Dessert'd" will enjoy plant-based small bites, “outrageous” hors d'oeuvres and custom cocktails, the company said. The "non-expected" culinary experience will include an all-you-can-eat array of Ben & Jerry's 10 nondairy flavors. Live and local entertainment will add to the atmosphere of the immersive experience.
