Coolhaus Ice Cream Truck





Artist Megan DeArmond asked if I'd ever had the Coolhaus Ice Cream sanwhiches or "Sammies" and I'd never heard of it. An Ice cream truck that only does ice cream cookie sandwich's. The ice cream is original and the cookies are original. The paper like wrap it comes in is edible and vegan (soy inks and made out of potato). Currently, they have only one truck and through their site eatcoolhaus.com, you can follow the location via Twitter. Two architects and a realtor started it. One of the architects was at UCLA and did a paper on the effect of food on architecture and that idea blossomed into Cool Haus (i.e. Rem Koolhaas). Other sammies are named after other architects or related institutions like "Mintimalism" and one named after the late Julian Schulman. The $3.50 sammies are chunky, filling and DEE-licious! Today's venture coincided with Park-ing, the Citywide temporary pocket parks sprouted at various street meters. Also fitting was the Kogi truck across the street. I ate two sammies first and then walked across the street and ordered the Korean styled Spicy Pork Burrito; dessert first and meal second as in shoot first and ask questions later. Gotta have your priorities straight on Park-ing Day.
