KOZY SHEA!



















Gluten-free (and Kosher) Kozy Shack pudding is the official pudding of Shea Stadium, which makes it a somewhat unusual stadium food option of interest to many gluten-free/wheat-free baseball fans. At a recent rainout, Kozy Shack pudding was available but not as easy to discern as more prominently displayed non-gf items such as Nathan's hot dogs (see top). Whether or not Kozy Shack is now easier to spot, consider yourself informed!

You can score free Kozy Shack samples outside Shea at the following Friday games:

July 25 St. Louis Cardinals
August 22 Houston Astros
September 5 Philadelphia Phillies

And here's how the Texas Rangers won over Mets fans in the pouring rain.

VINCENT GRUPPUSO (1940-2007)

Vincent Gruppuso, founder of the Long Island-based dessert company Kozy Shack Enterprises, died on December 29, 2007 from complications of diabetes, reports The New York Times.

Kozy Shack is notable for being one of the first mainstream food companies to market its high-quality desserts—most notably its signature rice pudding (pictured)—with a "Gluten Free" label. All of its flans and puddings are gluten-free and Kosher; the Kozy Shack line also includes No Sugar Added products.

If it's safe for you to eat Kozy Shack desserts, why not treat yourself to one in honor of Vincent Gruppuso?
