Eegee’s has teamed up with Tucson Arena at the TCC to create a new flavor in honor of standup comedian Gabriel Iglesias.
From Friday, October 4 – Sunday, October 6, the local sandwich chain will be serving a Fluffy Chocolate Cake Eegee, paying tribute to the comedian’s jokes about receiving chocolate cake from fans.
The new flavor will be available at all Eegee’s locations including those outside of Tucson — folks from all over Arizona can “have their cake and eat it too.”
This Eegee’s beverage is considered a “premium flavor” so the pricing will be: $3.95 for kids-size, $4.24 for small, $4.84 for medium, $5.24 for large, and $6.24 for a “bigee.”
Plus, all proceeds from his Eegee will go to Gabriel Iglesias’ charity, the Esther Mendes Foundation.
Iglesias is coming to the Tucson Arena on Saturday, October 5 as part of his “Don’t Worry, Be Fluffy” tour. Tucson also happens to be where Iglesias performed his first road show.
Upcoming Halloween-Themed Event
Eegee’s is getting creepy, kooky, and altogether ooky with its Haunted Drive-Thru from 7 – 9 p.m. on Wednesday, October 2 at 2510 E. Speedway Blvd.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
