We've been coming to Eddie since I was a little kid, so it's kind of a family affair. We do this every year for her birthday. As for Vito, maybe he is a real life Willy Wonka who's built on a brand that has survived rocky economies and even a pandemic. But through it all, the customers always come back and my father would always say it and I didn't know that I'd be saying it, but seeing them come back with their kids now. So seeing them grow up and now their kids having kids and seeing them grow up. So you may be screaming for ice cream at this point. I get it.
