Adam Sandler’s Hustle featured a gym in Coatesville onscreen, while offscreen, the actor often dined at DanDan in Wayne, where owners Catherina and Kevin Huang adjusted several recipes to suit his taste, including a pork-free soup dumpling. He also sometimes stopped by Handel’s Ice Cream in Berwyn for a sweet treat.
