Dairy Queen—Multiple Locations

It has been a while since I went to Dairy Queen, but I went their yesterday and got a dip cone. I forgot how much I used to love going to Dairy Queen and getting some of my favorites, like the Peanut Buster Parfait, and banana split.

I haven’t been in a Dairy Queen in a while but I used to remember them focusing more on ice cream rather than food, but now it seems like they are focusing more on food than ice cream. I know it is probably hard operating an ice cream stand that is franchised, but I used to always think that their ice cream was so good. I hope their ice cream does not suffer because of the food they serve.

A dip cone is what I ordered and it was good. I got the small and it was big. From what I can tell, the ice cream is still delicious at Dairy Queen.

Price: I ordered a small dip cone for $1.70, but it was pretty big.

Crown Candy
1401 St. Louis Ave
St. Louis, MO 63106
314-621-9650

Crown Candy is still a favorite lunch, dinner and dessert place among the St. Louis people, despite their location. Located in North St. Louis City, and opened in 1913 this little hole in the wall place is a throwback to how things used to be. Everything is old, but it adds to the atmosphere of the place. Crown Candy is famous for their BLTs and desserts. If you go for lunch you better get there early. We went on a Sunday and got there at 11:30 and got the last table available. At about 12 o'clock the line was out the door waiting for tables.

I ordered the Roast Beef Melt and split it with my girlfriend who ordered the BLT. I also got a chocolate shake and my girlfriend got a chocolate and banana malt, which is much better than the chocolate shake that I ordered. The best thing about getting the shakes is that they serve it to you in the silvery mixing cup and you get a lot. The BLT had a ton of bacon on it. It was piled so high I could barely fit it into my mouth. It was very good. The roast beef melt was surprisingly juicy and loaded with melted cheese. Both sandwiches were very good.

Prices: Two sandwiches and two shakes for $20

or
442 S. Grand Blvd

Ted Drewe’s is was a great place to eat along the American highway, Route 66, and it is still a favorite among many St. Louis people. The place is constantly packed with people lined up waiting to get a taste of some of the best ice cream St. Louis has to offer. Ted Drewe’s has been a summer time favorite for families after Cardinal baseball game, a trip to the zoo in Forest Park, or just a great place to get a good desert on a hot St. Louis summer night. Ted Drewe’s is famous for making their concretes so thick than you can turn them over an you won’t lose a drop of goodness. Ted Drewe’s also has great traditional favorites like banana splits, hot fudge sundaes, or any ice cream concoction you can think of they can make it.

I ordered the chocolate chip and cherry concrete. It had their frozen custard mixed with chocolate chips, and cherries. This is the best thing they have. If you want something good to cool you off then make your way to one of the Ted Drewe’s.
