Ice Cream Cones

Blogged in Cool Stuff, Food, Travel by Tyler on March 15, 2007 at about 18:05

I’ll bet you didn’t know that the first ice cream cone was created at the 1904 World’s Fair by Abe Doumar or that he was also the first to make an ice cream cone machine! Well, neither did I, until tonight, when I stumbled across Doumar’s Cones & Barbecue in Norfolk, Virginia. That first ice cream cone machine is still in use, in fact, and still creates a tasty ice cream cone!

Here it is, along with the product of its labors:

Doumar’s Barbeque was OK, but the Ice Cream was very good!

Note: Yes, I’m still in Norfolk. There were some paperwork issues that have delayed my departure for about a week. Just a few more days…
