Doug Quint is the co-founder of Big Gay Ice Cream, a why-not idea that began as a food truck in 2009 and is now a chain in NYC and Philly as well as widely available in retail stores like CVS and Vons across the country. Doug discusses his former life as a professional bassoon player, his deep love of INXS, his dear friend Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Go's, and how he fit the Big Gay aesthetic and flavor into pints fit for big-box retail life.

We paired Doug's life-changing record, Duran Duran, Rio with a sumptuous bottle of brut rosé champagne by Billecart-Salmon, a flagship of the two-hundred-year-old house's roster since 1970
