A Child's First Love
Becomes A Chef's Creation

DANNY RASKIN LOCAL COLUMNIST

o youngsters everywhere,
the Good Humor men and
women are those friendly
folks with all the luscious
goodies in their trucks ... No won-
der they're so happy all the time,
say the kids.
But to Lou DeCillis, the fellow
in Brooklyn was more ... You
could say that he started him on
his way to being an ice cream
man from the day the Good Hu-
mor gent let Lou ride around the
neighborhood in the front seat of
his ice cream truck.
Lou was only 6 years old when
he visited old Italian bakeries and
had his first taste of lemon ice ...
which was probably the begin-
ning of his passion for frozen
desserts.
First it was Savino Ices, after
discovering in 1977, when visit-
ing Detroit from New York, that
no one here manufactured Ital-
ian ices ... a shocker to him how
anybody could get through the
day without them ... And be-
cause of his Culinary Institute of
America learnings, Lou was able
to come up with fat-free and cho-
lesterol-free varieties.
The challenge though, had
only just begun for Lou ... Being
a chef, he never did go for using
chemicals and was Very emphat-
ic in the ingredients used ... No
artificial fat replacers or sweet-
eners.
And so came the dark tunnel
that would take him over three
years to crawl through until fi-
nally seeing daylight ... Not just
fat-free, cholesterol-free ice
cream, but with the creamy taste
variety of most leading brands.
Imagine, Lou used to think,
chefs like himself serving a fat-
free ice cream that not only tast-
ed good, but was also 100 percent
natural.
It took three-and-a-half years
of formula testing and a lot of
tossed-away ice cream before Lou
finally hit on his dream ...fat-free
ice cream with the same texture
and consistency as those with
butter fat (an almost impossible
achievement).
At the Culinary Institute, Lou
used to dabble with the thought
... While classmates were con-
centrating on sauces and entrees,
he experimented with ice cream
concoctions, from the traditional
chocolate to the out-of-the-ordi-
nary carrot.
When he opened his Savino
Frozen Desserts in 1978 on Mid-
dlebelt in Livonia, the big thing
became Savino Ices ... until not
too long ago, when he perfected

T

the brain storm that hit home.
Today, Savino fat-free Super
Premium ice cream in pints can
be gotten in vanilla, chocolate,
strawberry, chocolate raspberry,
caramel and chocolate mocha.
His Chef Lou Premium Ice
Cream in half-gallons comes in
mocha fudge mousse, red rasp-
berry ripple, double chocolate rip-
ple and vanilla.
Lou's fat-free ice cream has
gone over so big it is already sold
in eight states including, of
course, Michigan ... and there
doesn't seem to be much stopping
its constant move.

The Jewish News "critics" were
recently out en-masse for a taste
testing of Lou's new fat-free ice
cream ... and believe me, there
aren't too many more critical
than our folks ... Especially a lot
of the gals watching their weight
... particularly those who peek
outside and get that bikini
bathing suit look on their faces.
Lou is his own best friend ...
He used to weigh almost 200
pounds ... and is down to 145
pounds ... because he eats fat-
free foods ... so you can easily
guess who is also his best cus-
tomer.

Lou DeCillis loves fat free.

-

Hereabouts, the pints and half-
gallons are both sold at all Kroger
stores, all Nino Salvaggio mar-
kets (Strawberry Hill), all Arbor
Drug stores, Hollywood markets,
Oak Ridge market and Holiday
Food Center in Royal Oak ... The
pints are at Shopping Center
markets (Hiller Food Empori-
ums) and the Vic's locations.
Hard to believe that up until
now, folks had to settle for non-
fat products with seemingly un-
pleasant textures, unappetizing
flavors and unhealthy chemicals
... But their previous unhappy
culinary experiences "melt" into
memory once they have their first
spoonful of Lou DeCillis' creations
... no fat, no cholesterol, no chem-
icals and less than half the calo-
ries of the popular fat, cholesterol
and calorie-laden brands.

But Lou still has another
dream ... to drive in the front seat
again of a Good Humor truck ...
only this time selling Savino fat-
free ice cream.
GOOD NEWS for the army of
Billy Rose followers ... He is with
his quartet through July, Tues-
days to Saturdays, at Excalibur,
Franklin at Northwestern and
12 Mile.
NINETY-DEGREE weather
didn't make things too keen for
gents to wear tuxedos for Michi-
gan Cancer Foundation's recent
Circle of Fellows "Summer Ele-
gance" shindig at the Grosse
Point home of Ken and Debbie
Meade ... But it turned out to be
a beautiful evening as the tem-
perature went down and 160
guys and gals had another fun
time of congeniality in Ken and
