I KNOW I just raved (again) about Spicy Shark and the work they are doing to save their noble namesakes, but as it is almost time to mark the 46th anniversary of Jaws, I figured one more lap was not so bad.

Just in time for Father’s Day (which ALSO falls on June 20!), Spicy Shark is offering a 20% sale on all of their sauces and other tasty treats. All you need do is write “JAWSDAD” on the website (www.thespicyshark.com) and, until June 20 at midnight, you can enjoy everything for 20% off! 

Especially as Spicy Shark is a one-man operation, it is kind of a risk to offer so much. As we have seen, however, Spicy Shark founder Gabe DiSaverio is all about giving back!

From their signature Habanero and Jalapeno sauces to the Megalodon Carolina Reaper sauce and Scovie Award-winning Tiger Shark ghost pepper sauce to their smoked maple sriracha and award-winning hot honey and hot maple and blueberry maple syrups, The Spicy Shark has something to put on everything (and believe me, I do!).

You may pick up so many great condiments that you will need a bigger boat!

While I will always be loyal to Abbott’s Frozen Custard, I must admit that I am excited to see that the Cookie Monstah is opening a new shop in Needham.

Created by a Boston-bred mom of four who caught the baking bug at the age of 15 and went on to bake for such vaunted venues as Locke Ober, 75 Chestnut, and Filene’s, Cookie Monstah started as a Boston-based frozen food truck but has since expanded to open stores in Burlington, Danvers, Swampscott, and now Needham. 

No matter where you go (or if you ask their famous truck to come to you for a special event or just to feed a handmade ice cream sandwich craving), the cookies are crafted with Callebut chocolate, real vanilla, farm-fresh butter, Richardson’s ice cream, and (for the older Monstahs) bourbon and come in a wide and ever-expanding menu of flavors that includes apple cider, Birthday cake, oatmeal pumpkin white chocolate, red velvet, salted caramel, and the brownie-based brookie. There is also a gluten-sensitive chocolate chip option so almost everyone can get in on the homemade fun!

So even if you are not fortunate enough to see the famous truck rolling through your neighborhood, you now have one more neighborhood to visit to get your Cookie Monstah fix.

Now only if they had a Snuffleupa-gas station around here!
