Best of Utah 2008: Food & Drink
Best Food Fighter: John Winders, Spotted Dog Creamery
Best Food Fighter: John Winders, Spotted Dog Creamery
After four years of fighting for shelf space in local grocery stores for his gourmet ice cream, you would have thought John Winders would have given up in frustration. Not so! The voluble former chef has up-gunned his State Street ice cream plant with enough stainless steel to make a bosun's mate smile. In the wake of Snelgrove Ice Cream's demise, Winders is equipped and eager to rejoin the battle in a summer offensive. Take heed, Ben & Jerry: Winders has fire in his belly. His "buy local" guerrilla followers continue to press Albertsons and the rest to make room in their freezers for Salt Lake's very own Spotted Dog.
