美国最古老的冰淇淋店仍然挖掘
Fenton’s Creamery
在哪里:奥克兰,加利福尼亚州
While the claim that it’s the“oldest continuously operating creamery west of the Mississippi”需要一些创造性的解释(它被关闭了2001年由于纵火超过一年),奥克兰芬顿奶油饼的历史博物馆仍然强劲。Elbridge Fenton于1894年建立了这个家庭乳品,但它是冰淇淋,总是开展业务。在它的原始挖掘太大后,芬顿在1961年搬到了Piedmont Ave的几个街区,从那里仍然仍然是.Fenton的冰淇淋镜片也闻名,这也是争议的。Fenton的故事的一面是,1929年,糖果制造商和Fenton的乔治法伦员工正在尝试制作新的核桃和棉花糖味道。把它扔进一块巧克力冰淇淋中,他意识到它很好吃。所以,他与他的朋友威廉·德雷德和约瑟夫·伊迪分享了它 - 当然也碰巧是冰淇淋制造商。爱它也是如此,他们将其命名为“岩石之路”,在艰难时期致敬美国人在大萧条中都会经历。到这一天,芬顿的奶油饼仍然声称是actual inventor of “Rocky Road” ice cream, althoughDreyer’s disagrees。

The Angelo Brocato Original Italian Ice Cream Parlor
其中:新奥尔良,洛杉矶When Angelo Brocato arrived in New Orleans from Sicily at the turn of the century, he was already a gelato-making expert, having trained with three different gelato-makers. Despite the fact that gelato was previously unknown in America at the time, Brocato’s was an immediate hit, bringing a slice of Italian culture to the French quarter. Perhaps the most popular item on the menu was torroncino, a vanilla-based gelato with cinnamon and ground almonds that’s sliced like cake.Flash-forward a century: Literally a month after the family-owned business celebrated one hundred years of gelato in New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina hit andflooded their entire Mid-City location(where they moved from the French Quarter in the ‘80s). It took a full year, but Brocato’s reopened, turning the parlor into a vision of Old World Italian charm. Today, the business is still family-owned and they still serve torroncino using the exact same 1905 recipe.

Doumar’s
在哪里:Norfolk, VA
对于许多人来说,只需舀勺或五个冰淇淋就不够。它也必须在华夫饼干中。这个完美的冰淇淋船是由康尼岛的Abe Doumar发明的,在1907年弗吉尼亚州诺福克的运营之前发明了。然而,真正的惊人是令人惊讶的是,杜马尔曾经在一个世纪以前制作华夫饼干的原始机器仍然是努力工作,churning out fresh cones to this very day根据起源故事,Doumar出售paperweights at the 1904 World Fair when he had a hankering for ice cream, but the nearby salesman had run out of bowls. On a whim, Doumar bought a waffle and wrapped his ice cream that way. The rest is culinary history. He opened his own stand in Coney Island but moved to Norfolk because of the longer summer season there. After moving around town, Doumar settled on the location on Monticello Avenue in 1934, where the store has been ever since. Until 2014, Doumar’s son Albert was still working there.

Leopold’s
在哪里:萨凡纳,GA
由来自希腊的三兄弟于1919年开放,Leopold在萨凡纳的Gwinnett和Habersham街道上是南方最着名的冰淇淋店之一。不幸的是,在原来的所有者死后,时间不久,客厅在1969年结束。但Leopold没有消失。原来的建筑和大部分设备都被送进了业主的斯特拉顿利奥波德,儿子和侄子的手中。虽然他在好莱坞工作,作为一个地点经理和生产者,斯特拉顿在大草原的车库中保存了大部分设备。当他在2004年回到城市时,他使用多年来陷入困境的大部分东西重新开放了这家商店。当冰淇淋店在今天的不同地点(东方Broughton St.)时,许多相同的夹具和设备是原创的,包括最近的refurbished signfrom the 1920s. It gets extra cred from Academy Award-nominated set designer Dan Lomino (nominated for his work on Close Encounters of the Third Kind)who designed the new interior。To bring it back full circle, Leopold recently announced a second location set toopen in early 2017- in the original building that his father and his uncle’s first opened Leopold’s in nearly a century ago.
