Restaurants try to fill every belly
J. F. McCullough dreamed of developing a salable soft ice cream while he managed an ice cream plant in the 1930s. In 1938, he finally succeeded and persuaded an ice company to produce it.
Advertisements went out proclaiming,
"All the ice cream you can eat for 10 cents."
The store owner later said he served more than 1,000 people in two hours. "We had ice cream all up and down the block," he said. "And we also served cake in the corner tavern down the street."
McCullough opened the first Dairy Queen in 1940. He named it for the cow because he said he considered the animal to be the queen of the dairy, and because, he said, his ice cream was the closest thing to dairy freshness.
Today there are about 5,000 Dairy Queen stores, including two in Lawrence.
For those seeking relief from summer beat, there is also Baskin-Bobkins, 152 W. 46th St.
Baskin-Robins serves such flavors as gudmorp, jamaca almond fudge, daquiri, blueberry cheesecake and Oregon blackberry. The ice cream also comes in a store. The store serves ice cream cakes, pies, rolls, sundaas, ice cream and ice creams.
