Speaker 1 (00:09):
Okay, you've been to cupcake stores, and you've been to
slurpee stores and ice prange gelato stores. How about puffy
cotton candy. We're all adults here. We can talk when
was the last time you had cotton candy? But when
was the last time you had gourmet cotton candy? And
we're standing right here at the Off One Paddock Club
overlooking the track and a man who invented this puffy
(00:30):
cotton candy with it sounds like about eight retail places
around the United States too. In Las Vegas, yes, where
you can get late night cotton candy after too many
martinis in Vegas.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Those are your locations that are open the latest, which
obviously makes sense. If you have a hankering for cotton
candy at ten or eleven pm at night, you can come.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
To our stores. Our headquarters are based in Nashville, Tennessee.
We have two stores there.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
We just it's not a late night place either. Yes,
it is broad.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Way it is, and we try not to mix too
much whiskey.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
And rye bourbon with our product.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
But for now, it's safe for kids, and that's generally
our target and setographic as kids, and they get most
excited about the enormous, magical rainbow characters that we make
out of cotton candy. So we take the cotton candy
and we sculpt it and we create it into different
forms like famous movie characters or cartoon characters. We just
have a license now with Peanuts, so we do Snoopy
(01:23):
and Woodstock and Charlie Brown. And we're obtaining more licenses
to do a lot of the famous ip that you
see in movies and TV shows soon. So we're thrilled
to be here at the Las Vegas Grand Prix. We've
done an exclusive helmet made out of cotton candy. The
whole thing is edible. It's made out of cherry cotton
candy and birthday cake flavor cotton candy. They're about two
feet tall, and we can do them in different sizes.
(01:44):
But the best part about it is not just how
beautiful they look, but they actually taste.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Incredible, and they have different flavors.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
They're not just different colors, but each color you see
is in a unique flavor, and the mixture and taste
in your mouth, it's just magical.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I can smell it from here and it just makes
me feel like a kid again.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Yes, yes, it's very nostalgic and it's been around for
one hundred years.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
It was invented by a dentist in Nashville, Tennessee, of
all places.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Oh no, well, incidentally, we happen to kind of birth
this concept of a cotton candy store in Nashville, Tennessee.
So we're thrilled to expand across the US. We've got
locations in Orlando and New Jersey, two in Las Vegas,
two in Nashville, opening in Dallas soon. Hoping to go
international after this, but for now we've got about ten
retail locations, with ten more coming next year. So yeah,
(02:30):
I'm kind of sweeping the nation with our cotton candy concepts.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Did the dentist not want kids to like chew on
hard candy and gum?
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Was that the idea might.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Be the thing?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
And a fun fact about cotton candy is it's only
called cotton candy in the United States. Outside of the US,
in Europe or Australia, it's called fairy floss or candy floss.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
So I don't know if that floss.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Parts the time a dentist let's go with it, but well,
we're going to go with it.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
For now.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Flost your teeth with this stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
So if you're listening right now and you're a corporate
listener and you say I would like to have you know,
two hundred or five hundred or eight thousand, you're having
a corporate event and you want something to be your
logo or be something that represents you, they can contact
you and do that.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
You absolutely could.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
You could visit us at Puffy Cotton Candy and that's
Puffy Cottoncandy dot com. We do corporate events across the US.
We've got locations across the US, so we can fly
in or in most cases we're local now because we're
expanding so quickly.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
So what if somebody asked you they wanted to have
a puffycotton candy that looked like Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
We've done it before.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
We haven't posted it on social media or anywhere, but
we did it behind closed doors as a joke, and it.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Actually looked pretty authentic with the hair especially.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
We used orange cotton candy and let's just say it
was flowing nicely in the wind.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I'm glad you can have a sense of humor about it.
That's terrific. Well, congratulations again in your name.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Brendan Curtis, co founder of Puffy.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Cotton Candy, and the other founder is Holland Curtis. Is
she standing right over there? Yes, her hair looks nice.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
In the year, which is much prettier than I am.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
You weren't on Shark Tank or anything, were you.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
We've been asked and suggested many times to do it.
I think we need to apply because it would be
a great fit.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Yeah, do you need the sharks.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
We do need the sharks, but I think we're doing
so well on our own that perhaps maybe we don't
need a shark to kind of.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
That's what the last what do you need those for?
You know, you got just to wonderful. Oh, give me
the five hundred thousand. But I want a royalty for
the first blah blah blahed.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Roy up the company. So we're proud of that.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Just the first time you remember tasting cut candy, Oh.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
My gosh, I probably was about four or five years old.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
I think circus or something, right, Yeah, literally carnival. Yeah.
Las Vegas is a giant circus and you made it
even more fun, especially.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Here fit right in here with the sort of magical
electricity of the city and just hitting all the senses
and it's such a unique concept and it's why we
opened here.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
It just made a lot of sense. Can't really beat it.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Thanks for being so sweet.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Congratulations NICs to Mutia, thanks for having us.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
It's puffy cotton candy and Las Vegas at F one.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
There will not be cotton candy, but it wouldn't surprise
me if there was. Today, Tony Cuthbert, when you and
I go to lunch at Cavellino. Now, Cavellino is not
a restaurant that you will find in Las Vegas, but
it is today and the world's number one chef, Massimo
Batura from the Amelia Romana region of Italy, has taken
(05:23):
over Le Cirque at Bellaggio, and this is because his
restaurant at Ferrari Headquarters in Marinello is in the old
dining room that Enzo Ferrari had for his executives, and
they decided, you know what do we do with this
room here at the headquarters. They turned it into a
high end gourmet restaurant and anyone can go there if
(05:47):
you go to Italy, and you'll have the cuisine of
the very, very creative Massimo Batura, who has been on
this program, and so today the Ferrari executives, I presume
will be there and some of the column world because
obviously Ferrari is a big force in Formula one racing
and that's where we are.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
So you'll get to.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Experience food that is so colorful you barely can you
can barely eat it because it looks like beautiful artwork.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
I don't know if you've seen some of these pictures
that I have MPs, because it made me. One of
the dishes that is going to be sampled. They have
a dessert and it's almost like a it's a race car.
It's a little mini race car on the plate, and
it makes me it makes me think of the beautiful
apple dessert at Mission Point Resort. You have something that
is so beautiful that you want to indulge in, but
(06:37):
it's like, what do I do with this thing?
Speaker 4 (06:40):
It's similar and and there's some wackiness to it also,
But if you go there, it's really fun. And it's
right across the street from the old entrance of the
Ferrari headquarters. And if you get a chance, and if
you're into cars and history and you want to go visit,
make Cavalino part of your visit, and we'll be there
today and experience some of that with you. It's quite visual,
(07:01):
so you know, food on the radio, wine on the radio.
Next thing you know, they'll be dancing on the radio.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
And here we go.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Well.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
JP McCarthy used to have that swimsuit edition of his
show every year, like Sports Illustrated WHOA Probably couldn't get
away with that today, but it was pretty.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Funny at the time.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Yep, he would have swimsuit models come in and describe
the smirls. No, no, no, that's a Thanksgiving, that's a
treat next week.
