Each thick, creamy milkshake is hand-topped with pie crust pieces and real whipping cream to create a sweet, smooth blend of spiced apple pie and ice cream in every bite.

Thanks to our sponsor, Tekserve. “At a young age, I was exposed to a lot of different types of food and cultures. I think as a kid, I really got it and it stuck with me. I judge a lot of places based on the local food.” [10:15] “Organic and local food- we grew up with that in Portland, Seattle, and the West Coast in general… it’s not a trend, it’s real.” [13:00] “It’s really important to honor local food. People talk about its environmental impact, but it’s also about local culture.” [19:50] — Mike Thelin on Snacky Tunes
