????對Three2Oh公司來說，為客人奉上一份讓人驚呼叫好的液態氮冰淇淋不僅意味著一樁前景大好的餐飲生意，還是一種附帶的機會，能讓其他創業者可以在液態氮上放手一試。

????2010年3月，比爾?蘇利文，巴里?雷斯尼克和拉爾夫?任德蘭德合起來投資3萬美元創立了Three2Oh公司。這三位個個都經驗豐富：蘇利文1988年起就一直從事冰淇淋分銷。雷斯尼克在向賓館推銷產品上擁有30年的經驗。而任德蘭德則從頂級烹飪機構美國烹飪研究院（CIA，Culinary Institute of America）畢業，擁有30年烹飪經驗，Three2Oh的食譜正是由他一手打造。

????Three2Oh現在主攻本地慶典活動市場，為高檔賓館和婚禮提供服務。公司推出了傳統口味冰淇淋和閃凍（flash-frozen）雞尾酒冰淇淋，如咖啡酒（Kahlua）冰淇淋三明治和酒味香蕉圣代（banana splits，在剖開的條狀香蕉上澆冰淇淋、摜奶油、果仁、甜水果等制成——譯注），拜液態氮驚人的速凍能力所賜，這些美味能一直保持冰爽可口。

????該公司2010年總營收的20%——20萬美元來自向餐廳和酒席承辦者銷售液態氮機，這些客戶就指望著這筆生意來賺錢了。

????For Three2Oh, show-stopping liquid nitrogen treats mean a booming catering business with a sideline opportunity to help other entrepreneurs take the liquid N2 plunge.

????Three2Oh was founded in March 2010 by owners Bill Sullivan, Barry Resnick and Ralph Rendsland with a combined $30,000 investment. The trio brings a wealth of expertise: Sullivan has worked in ice cream distribution since 1988. Resnick has 30 years experience in product sales to hotels. Rendsland, a grad of top culinary institute CIA, has three decades of culinary expertise and develops Three2Oh's recipes.

????Tapping into the local event market for high-end hotels and wedding receptions, Three2Oh offers traditional flavors and flash-frozen cocktail ice creams like Kahlua ice cream sandwiches or liquor banana splits that stay chilled due to liquid nitrogen's awesome freezing power.

????Twenty percent of the company's 2010 revenues -- $200,000 -- came from sales of liquid nitrogen machines to chefs and caterers looking to steam-power their bottom lines.
