Overview
Brisbane's Damian Griffiths is doubling down on his mission to put the entire population of Sydney — and indeed, Australia — into a diabetic coma. A mere six months after giving us our first taste of his insane Doughnut Time creations, the sugar-mad restaurateur is bringing his retro ice cream parlour, Mister Fitz, across the border.
The first Mister Fitz opened in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane last December, followed quickly by a second location in South Bank. Speaking to Good Food, Griffiths confirmed that he's already found a location in Glebe and is currently looking for real estate in Surry Hills. "I'd plan to have them both open by the start of summer," he said. Plans for stores in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth are also on the horizon.
Like the doughnuts at Doughnut Time, the ice cream at Mister Fitz is pretty damn ludicrous — and we mean that in the best possible way. Their homemade creations include pink sea salt and caramel, coffee and oreo, and banana, brown sugar and bacon. You can get it in a waffle cone or build your own ice cream sandwich.
They also offer seriously epic milkshakes, including the Gold Digger, made with banana, brown sugar and bacon ice cream with whipped cream, candied bacon, crushed chips and salted caramel, and the Boom! Shake The Room, made with Nutella ice cream, whipped cream, Nutella drizzle, crushed hazelnuts and feuilletine.
The news of Mister Fitz coming to Sydney's streets follows the opening of Nathan Sasi's wildly popular soft serve parlour Good Times in Potts Point and Messina's announcement that they're opening a degustation bar this month. Doesn't look like our love for ice cream is slowing down any time soon. And if it does, these guys will sure be in a spot of trouble.
