Happy Birthday (Maybe) to the Ice Cream Sundae
On April 3, 1892, the ice cream sundae was born at the Platt & Colt Pharmacy in Ithaca, New York. Or was it born in 1881 at Ed Berners' Ice Cream Parlor in Two Rivers, Wisconsin? What's Cooking America shares some history behind the "Sundae Wars" between these two cities who claim to be the birthplace of the sundae. Ithaca appears to have the most written documentation to back up its claim as the sundae's birthplace, including the oldest record of an ice cream sundae in the form of an ad placed in the Ithaca Daily Journal on October 5, 1892. There's even disagreement about the origins of the word "sundae," the most popular explanation being that it was changed...Hot Beef Sundaes in Lincoln, Nebraska
Photograph by Matt Stoller. Beef and sundaes—individually delicious, but together?

Three wall ovens, and an '80s-era TV sunk into a wall niche. [via MetaFilter]...Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Ice Cream at Baskin-Robbins
Baskin-Robbins is featuring a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup flavor all through March, April, and May, offering it in stores as scoops and prepackaged quarts, shakes, and sundaes, the latter of which sounds particularly scrumptious: "This madness is not just a layer of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, but three scoops of Reese's Peanut Butter Cup ice cream. How to top that? Hot fudge wouldn’t be enough. Let’s also add Reese's Peanut Butter Sauce and some whipped cream. Just for good measure."...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
