Tasti D-Lite Freebies & Celebration, Feb. 12-14

February 5, 2010 in On the Fly | No comments

– Posted by Editor Kimberly Hundley

Hey Airparkers, Tasti D-Lite in the Airpark is the state’s very FIRST franchise, and has been operating on the down low for a few weeks. I’m finally stopping over there today to experience for myself what those gals on Sex in the City have been raving about for years.

The healthy, low-calorie snack — a favorite of celebrities — is supposed to be delish. The official grand opening is slated for 2/12 to 2/14 with lots of giveaways and FREE tastes. See the official press release below.

The locale is in the Shops at Zocallo, home to Barcelona. Speaking of which, is Barcelona “closed for remodeling” forever? If you know what’s up with that place, let me know at editor@scottsdaleairpark.com.

DC Ranch Gets Krispy Kreme & Cajun

January 25, 2010 in On the Fly | No comments

“Doughnut Dan” Brinton Opens 8th Valley Krispy Kreme and His Latest Concept Beauregard Food Co. Side by Side

The man that brought back to Arizona the south’s favorite doughnut – Krispy Kreme – is serving up a full menu of southern fare at his new restaurant concept Beauregard Food Co., newly opened on Market Street at D.C. Ranch.

Opening next door to Brinton’s newest Krispy Kreme neighborhood store, Beauregard Food Co. is as the sign reads “…a southern thing.” The menu has a Cajun flare and includes gumbo, and shrimp and crawfish wraps. Guests can also experience southern favorites such as fried pickles and comeback sauce (aka “Cajun ketchup”).

“People will soon find out that ‘Doughnut Dan’ knows more than doughnuts,” said Dan Brinton, franchise partner of Krispy Kreme Arizona and Beauregard Food Co. owner. “The restaurant business is in my blood and I’m just as passionate about my fried pickles as I am my doughnuts.”

Beauregard Food Co., named after Brinton’s great-great grandfather’s dry goods company established in 1898 in Clarksville, Tenn., is a 70-seat family- and wallet-friendly destination. Mud bugs, better known as children, have a variety of meals to choose from and are invited to draw and stamp on the paper-covered white tablecloths.

“This is my neighborhood, so I know first-hand that people want a place they can take their families for good food any night of the week,” said Brinton. “I hope to appeal to those folks as well as Valley residents looking for food that’s as fun as whittling and as comfortable as a rocking chair.”

Beauregard Food Co. is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Daily specials include offerings such as shrimp and grits, red beans and rice, shrimp and crawfish cheesecake, and etouffee. The address is 20825 N. Pima Rd. Suite 100.

The D.C. Ranch Krispy Kreme is open seven days a week from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. and features 15 varieties of doughnuts, including Krispy Kreme’s signature Original Glazed® doughnut. The store offers 25-cent coffee, 99-cent specialty coffee beverages, and Shamrock Farms milk.
