Gotta Go Right Now
The announcement of America’s Best Restroom has me counting the days until my next trip to St. Louis. Unfortunately I’ll have to hold in my enthusiasm until January.
The winner of this year’s award is The Fountain on Locust, an art-deco ice cream parlor and restaurant. I can’t believe I haven’t already been there. I’ve been to Ted Drewes a couple of times and to Fitz’s American Grill and Crown Candy Kitchen once each.
After reading the news, I scoured through The Fountain’s menu. If only I could eat it all. The salads sound good but it’s the ice cream desserts that have me salivating, especially:
Dark and Sinister
Tall glass coated with hot fudge, filled with Zanzibar chocolate ice cream, topped with marshmallow sauce and a chocolate coin. $6.29Standing Banana Split
A tall glass with a bruléed banana and scoops of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream, layered with fresh raspberry sauce and hot fudge. Topped with real whipped cream. $6.99
