If you’re flagging during a shopping trip be sure to check out Scoop too but don’t leave Snowy Joe in the cold.If your snowblower is having problems running for long periods of time, or not starting up at all, the issue probably lies in the carburetor. It looks a little lost on its own without any other food stands to accompany it and would perhaps be more at home in the Food Court or at the cosy cliquey end with Ditsch and Subway and Bagel Nash, but perhaps being independent and standing ground is what Snowy Joe is all about, whoever Joe is and why he happens to be snowy. Otherwise it’s doughnuts (actually, DONUTS, this stall does have an American flag), hotdogs, cookies and everything else that makes the Olsen twins break out in cold sweats. The stand itself is indeed a relic of the original Arndale Centre (architects have coldly said the bomb was probably a blessing in disguise… these mean designer types and their lack of respect for human life!) and I must confirm that the Fro-Yo is just about the only thing remotely healthy available from there. Which is why when I spotted Snowy Joe’s marketing itself as a healthier dessert of frozen yoghurt I was in there like swimwear. Fro-Yo!
