Humphry Slocombe shared an Instagram post on Thursday showcasing its latest ice cream flavor in collaboration with Señor Sisig. It’s called “churron,” which is a mashup between the words (and flavors) of a churro and turon, a popular Filipino fried dessert typically made with banana, jackfruit, brown sugar, and lumpia wrappers.

“With our soon-to-be Señor Sisig location at the Ferry Building, this sweet collab couldn't have come at a better time,” Evan Kidera told SFGATE in a statement.

Kidera added that Humphry Slocombe reached out to Señor Sisig ahead of its Ferry Building grand opening sometime this summer with a pitch to craft a flavor together. Kidera shared that for the collaboration he wanted to focus on Mexican and Filipino flavors (much like Señor Sisig’s existing menu) and that the team decided on churros and turon.

“After our first test bite in the kitchen, the sample was spot on and ready to go,” Kidera said.

It’s not the first time we’ve seen Bay Area restaurants collaborate on a unique dish either. Square Pie Guys and Souvla created a pizza mashup reminiscent of Souvla’s classic chicken salad in March. The crispy Detroit-style pizza was topped with tender chicken, red onion, mizithra cheese, and Souvla’s “Granch” dressing, which was part of a fundraiser that benefited San Francisco’s nonprofit food incubator, La Cocina.   

Last year, renowned chef Dominique Crenn collaborated with burger chain Shake Shack for a grilled cheese sandwich made with Boho Belle cheese from Bohemian Creamery, onion jam and tomatoes tucked between two slices of Tartine Bakery bread. That specialty item was only available for one day and, like the Souvla and Square Pie Guys collaboration, was also part of a fundraiser for La Cocina.  

Humphry Slocombe and Señor Sisig’s decadent ice cream flavor is available at all Bay Area Humphry Slocombe stores.
