Talk:D'Angelo Grilled Sandwiches

Chip's?
According to the Steve's Ice Cream article (and a conversation I had today), D'angelo used to be co-located with Steve's. My memory is a place with a blue sign called Chip's (cherry on the 'i') co-located with D'angelo. I can't find a record of that anywhere...why not? CSZero (talk) 23:33, 30 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I remember Chip's, too. It was in the D'Angelo's location in Northampton MA until maybe 10-15 years ago or so? I don't know anything about when/why it folded. Arguman (talk) 01:33, 31 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Update: I found an article on the Chips issue. Incorporating it into the main page. Arguman (talk) 01:33, 31 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks! CSZero (talk) 02:47, 31 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Sounds to me like some had Steve's Ice Cream and some had Chips, and they were both canned in '93. Can anyone confirm?  CSZero (talk) 02:52, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

I worked for D'angelo's from 1983 to 1988 during High School and part of college, so I know some of the lore. I started at the Wethersfield Connecticut shop during their early Connecticut years and picked up extra shifts at every CT store they opened at that time. Steve's came to D'angelo's around '85 and they would carve out a section of the dining area to expand the service counter with a partition from D'angelo's. We'd serve sandwiches from one line and ice cream from a separate line. As the night crew was often just 2 people, you usually got the same server twice. We didn't literally switch hats (or did we?), but you get the idea. The romance of Steve's was a little watered down from the standalone Steve's, partly due to the fact that some Connecticut town's health departments were too rigid to allow the theatrics of a mix-in, so in those towns we were only allowed to sprinkle the items on top. This sucked the soul from the classic Steve's experience. Also initially we'd whip our own whipped cream in a mixer and make our own hot fudge from cocoa butter, butter, chocolate and sugar, but those gourmet touches eventually became impractical and were replaced with less exotic ingredients. The switch over from Steve's to Chips as I understood it, was a way to save the royalty to Steve's and allowed them to source less expensive ice cream. I think the public noticed the difference. Several years after I moved out the area is when Pizza Hut came in and ripping out Chip's gave them the space they needed for Pizza ovens and such —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.79.80.66 (talk) 23:44, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Other D'Angelo's
Your information is wrong - there were two D'Angelo's in Orlando in the mid 90's, one on Semoran Dr in Orlando proper, and a second on 535(?) in Kissimmee. And don't tell me no, cos I used to eat there almost every day. :-> —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.170.90.47 (talk) 20:03, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

I worked for D'angelo's from 1983 to 1988 during High School and part of college, so I know some of the lore. Dangelo's went through a couple cycles of "yes we franchise" and "no we don't." When I worked for then they were in a "no franchise" mode, but there were a small number of exceptions that held. In addition to the early locations in Florida (which I remember too), there were also a couple of locations at one point in the Kansas City, Missouri area and one briefly in Minnesota. There was also a single Vermont location for years, but I see from their web site (as I see in 2011) that it is no longer there. I also remember seeing a list during their Pizza Hut era that showed a couple of locations in New York. When I worked for D'angelo's, they owned their own bread bakery and that consistent freshly baked bread was delivered to every store, three to four times a week. Also, most every food item and supply was used in the shops came from their own distribution company that they also owned. This might explain some of the logistics and company culture -- and their ability to sustain, which seems to hold steady only in New England.
