Uncle Ray’s Dairyland Featured on Channel 12!
Friday, May 29th, 2009
Uncle Ray's Dairyland
Uncle Ray’s Dairyland of Fenton is named one of the top 10 ice cream places in all of Michigan. See the video clips of the featured segments on ABC local channel 12 where Dave Durant and Todd Durant whip up some interesting flavor combinations for Mark.
http://abclocal.go.com/wjrt/video?id=6831643
http://abclocal.go.com/wjrt/story?section=news/local&id=6831847
The coffee and doughnut ice cream was a hit! The strawberry and chocolate covered bacon ice cream was an acquired taste. And although a deluxe olive burger from Halo Burger is yummy delicious on it’s own, this was the least favorite of the unique flavor combinations explored by Channel 12 news. The yummiest and most visually appealing, however, must have been the “fried egg on toast” breakfast treat. See for yourself with the video links above.
Uncle Ray’s Dairlyand is slated to produce a 175 foot banana split at Fenton’s 175th birthday celebration later on this summer.

FentonSays Pizza Playoffs #05 – Little Dominic’s
Wednesday, May 28th, 2008There’s a hidden little treasure of a pizza place right here in Fenton, Michigan that goes by the name of Little Dominic’s. Located at 1155 North Leroy Street in Fenton, they have a marvelous and delicious pizza at a very affordable price. Our favorite is their $5.99 large pepperoni pizza special. The crust is crunchy and bubbly, and it comes loaded with cheese and pepperoni. Recently they have started a delivery service as well.
In addition to their tasty pizza, we are big fans of their sandwich rolls. Various fixings are stuffed in to a pizza-like crust, rolled up and cooked to perfection. There is a wide variety of stuffing fixings available, so you’ll have fun finding your favorite.
Little Dominic’s of Fenton is located in the strip mall near the dollar store on the west side of the street across from Fenton Home Furnishings. You know the place. Though you may not have known there was an excellent pizza inside waiting for you to pick-up.

This is the fifth entry into the FentonSays.comPizza Playoffs. Little Dominic’s can be found at 1155 N Leroy Street in Fenton. For $5.99 right now you can get a large pepperoni pizza that is mouth watering good. The crust is excellent and there is plenty of cheese and pepperoni. This is a phenominal deal and one of the best, if not the best, economy pizza in Fenton.

Virtual Video Tour "The Eats of Fenton" Burger Battle #12 — TeeBone’Z
Friday, January 4th, 2008This is the twelfth entry into the Burger Battle on FentonSays.com as part of the “Eats of Fenton” video series. TeeBone’z is just over the railroad tracks off of Silver Lake Road in Fenton, Michigan. We’ve generally not been thrilled with the service here, but on this day the service was perfect. And the burger, well, the burger was absolutely amazing! One half pounder stacked with great toppings, and for a couple of bucks more you can get it with a side of onion rings. In our experience, it is hard to find perfect onion rings. TeeBone’Z had them! Perfect, golden, crispy onion rings where the onion doesn’t pull out and slap you on the lip when you bite into them. We featured their half pound burger, but we also have a quick clip of their version of a “slider.” It was all good. You’ll enjoy this!
