This summer, foodies in Burlington, Atlanta, Denver and San Diego are being treated to a "non-expected culinary experience" from Ben & Jerry's by the name of Dessert'd. With this series of events, the beloved dessert brand is shining a spotlight on plant-based dining by serving plant-based small bites and an all-you-can-eat spread of Ben & Jerry's ten non-dairy flavors. The experience unfolds in a comfortable atmosphere that's capped off with local, live entertainment.
On each of the tour stops, Ben & Jerry's is collaborating with award-winning chefs from each city to showcase an exclusive dessert. Tickets for Dessert'd start at $15 and proceeds will go towards the chef's non-profit of choice. Additionally, Ben & Jerry's may even add the most popular chef-created treats to its national Scoop Shop menu.
