Big ears.
Bigger heart.
Hand-stretched, deep-fried elephant ears — dusted the second they leave the oil — and lemonade you don't have to ration. Put a smile on someone's face. That's the whole idea.
The good stuff
One thing, done right.
No twelve-page menu. A giant, hand-stretched elephant ear, fried to order and buried in sugar while it's still hot — plus cold lemonade by the cup. Simple. That's the point.
The Elephant Ear
Stretched by hand, dropped in the fryer, and dusted the moment it's out — crisp at the edge, warm and soft in the middle.
The Lemonade
Fresh-squeezed and cold, poured big. The kind you go back for — no rationing at this window.
The Whole Vibe
String lights, sugar in the air, a line of happy people. We bring the fair feeling — wherever you are.
Be A Tim
The name is a promise.
Be A Tim Elephant Ears is the Py family's truck, named for their middle son, Tim — who they lost in 2019, at just fifteen. He had a big heart and a laugh that filled a room, and one rule he lived by: put a smile on someone's face every single day. The elephant ear was his childhood favorite. So his family took it to the fairs — and they've been keeping his promise at the window ever since. Every ear they hand out is Tim's mission, still going.
“Put a smile on someone's face every day.”
