Pandemic Update - a year away from Tiramisu...

Hello valued readers and cherished subscribers!  

I'm excited to be writing today as we are now emerging from this global pandemic.  I know we have all been in this together, but tiramisu just doesn't taste quite the same when the risk of contracting a deadly pathogen lingers.  Therefore, I have chosen to be very selective in my posts, as you'll read below.

It's been a tough year for everyone - especially Tiramisu Guy!  Finding good quality Tiramisu during a pandemic was difficult - making regular posting to this blog a challenge. 

Let's see, during the pandemic, Tiramisu Guy had to resort to ordering tiramisu online through grocery delivery.  The options were just not that good.  For example, Target historically had delicious frozen tiramisu by Archer Farms.  (Side note:  Some of Tiramisu Guy's friends have freezer's full of this stuff!)

The tragedy of Covid - aside from Tiramisu Guy's inability to write about great desserts - was that Target decided to change out their Tiramisu supplier.  They now offer something called Favorite Day Tiramisu.  Judging by feedback received from tiramisu connoisseurs beyond this writer, this was not a good move by Target.  

As an authority on the best tiramisu in the world, I decided to explore the reasons why Target made this change.  What I found out may surprise you... but you won't be surprised to know that Covid-19 struck again!  As it turns out, a critical component in the supply chain for Archer Farms Tiramisu was out of stock.  The unique, red ink for the chicken logo ran out, and Archer Farms could no longer source the ink from China.  As the pandemic wore on, Archer Farms had no choice but to cut production, leading to Target's unfortunate decision.

Well, stay tuned to this blog to keep updated on other frozen tiramisu options.  There are sure to be better ones out there - and Tiramisu Guy has a stable of tiramisu tasters that he will rely on for taste testing and input.  If we are lucky, perhaps we will celebrate the return of Archer Farms Tiramisu!!  Here's to hoping the supply chain crunch gets resolved soon!

Lastly, I'm excited to share that now that the pandemic is over, I will be out and about at restaurants again - of course, searching for the best tiramisu and other desserts in the world!

I'll be hitting the road soon...  Viva Las Vegas!!!

Until next time...
