Elvis
The Fat Years, Tiramisu, Hansel He’s So Hot Right Now, Sage and
Burnt
Butter,
Risotto Milanese, Breakfast of Champions: The Sequel, Pavlova
and
Raspberry
& Rose Gelato with Pomegranate Brownie – these are just some of
the
attention-seeking
flavours that have made Gelato Messina famous over
the
years.
Nick Palumbo, who opened the original gelato parlour in
Darlinghurst
more
than a decade ago, chats about the very first scoops that
launched
Messina,
how he and his team come up with such original, unexpected
flavours
(one
flavour was inspired by his nephew's twisted love for 'The Mighty
Boosh'
TV
show) and if there's any downside to being surrounded by ice cream
all
day.
He also chats about Gelato Messina's expanding universe, which
now
includes
stores in Pyrmont and Surry Hills and, soon, Bondi and, yes,
China!
We
wonder how Elvis The Fat Years will translate.
