Thirteenth Stop
Ice cream and cake
At Ted Drewes
Ted Drewes was our 13th and final stop on our Baker’s Dozen tour. What a good way to end, ice cream on a nice, sunny afternoon.
Or what I really mean is frozen custard. Frozen custard differs from ice cream in that frozen custard has egg yolks mixed in. Also the amount of air that is in the custard is a lot less than ice cream, which gives it a smooth texture. Frozen custard was originated in Coney Island, NY in 1919.

Ted Drewes started his famous frozen custard stand in Florida in 1929. He then opened up shop here in St. Louis the following year on Natural Bridge Road. Then the following year after that, he opened his South Grand location. The Chippewa location didn’t open until 1941. Today only the South Grand and Chippewa locations remain.
