Meet the Suspects

At Col. Mustard Hot Dogs and Mr. Ice Guy Italian Ice, we don’t just sling snacks—we serve evidence. Inspired by the classic whodunit charm of CLUE, our team is on a mission to turn every event into a mouthwatering crime scene. From New York and Chicago-style hot dogs to homemade Italian ice in criminally good flavors, our menu is as bold and unforgettable as the prime suspects behind it.

​

The case cracked open in 2020, when lead investigator Steven Klein and his partner-in-crime (and life) Helen Chapman teamed up with longtime associate Frank Raynor to launch Col. Mustard’s—fueled by nostalgia and a serious hunger for food that tells a story. By 2022, the plot thickened with the arrival of Mr. Ice Guy, our frosty accomplice bringing sweet justice to every culinary caper.

​

We believe in hard work, good laughs, and keeping cool under the Arizona heat—even when the grill’s hot and the alibis are thin. Our mission? Simple: deliver dangerously delicious comfort food without blowing your budget or your cover. Whether you’re a suspect, sleuth, or just passing through the scene, we’re here to make sure no one leaves hungry—or uninvestigated.

​

From local fairs to private investigations (a.k.a. parties), and murder-mystery-themed catering gigs, we roll up with flavor, flair, and just the right amount of mischief.
