Recreate Iconic Greater Palm Springs Flavors in Your Kitchen: Virtual Food Tour

Whether sweet or savory, Greater Palm Springs offers local favorites for every palate and age. Join our Chill Chaser, Amy Yerrington, on this virtual food tour via videos below to discover mouthwatering details. Bring these oasis flavors home without leaving your kitchen.

TKB Bakery and Deli (Curbside and takeout available)

Our first stop: TKB Bakery & Deli, short for "The Kids’ Business." Siblings who started selling cookie dough door-to-door have built a thriving bakery and deli. Amy demonstrates a fan-favorite, "The Trump" sandwich, featuring avocado, salami, turkey, bacon, chipotle mayo, and—topped off—potato chips layered inside, inspired by a customer's challenge to outdo his prior order.

Recreate at home: Add your favorite potato chips to your next sandwich for extra crunch.

Brandini Toffee (Takeout available)

Next, Brandini Toffee transforms simple ingredients into irresistible treats. What began as a high school fundraising effort has evolved into a family-run business since 2006. Brandon and Amy reveal the handmade process behind their toffee bites and toffee popcorn. Craving a sweet indulgence?

Recreate at home: Order from their online toffee shop.

Shields Date Garden (Takeout available)

Finally, enjoy a virtual date at Shields Date Garden, established in 1924 and a Greater Palm Springs staple. Amy tours the 17-acre garden, showcasing why date shakes are iconic. Locally grown dates shine alone or blended into creamy ice cream delights.

Recreate at home: Use date crystals if available, or blend sweet dates with vanilla ice cream for your new go-to dessert.
