The melting point of ice cream is a function of how much air is incorporated to the mix, and the size of the ice crystals formed as a result(air acts as an insulator), the less air the crystals are larger.

Exactly what local establishments fill the same niche as a Dairy Queen? For that matter, outside of a couple of Gelato places, what local ice cream shops are in BR?

Peanut Buster Parfait is the devil

We had one close to home when I was growing up and I had every NFL Helmet available from eating Ice Cream sundaes.

Agreed. The original one in Baton Rouge on Florida in the 60's & 70's was great.
But the burgers were fresh beef and hand formed patties. Not the generic chain crap of today.

Not to mention the juke box and pin-ball machines.

Frost Top, which I don't know why they failed to follow the customers when they shifted to the burbs. It is not im any manner grand cuisine, but is a fashion comfort food to the older crowd, and they would hve brought thier grands for a bit of nostalgia.

Dairy Queen is nothing special at all...Besides his gumbo, what else is good at Uncle O's?

Wasn't Uncle O/Ouncy(sp) the big dog at Fairway View back in the day? I do know that he hit a decent size jackpot not long after the La Lottery 1st started.

Ouncy bartended at Fairway View for a long time then bought it and owned it for a very long time. He then had Uncle O's on Harrell's Ferry, sold that, moved across the street to the car lot, sold gumbo, catered then set up a small operation inside and now is moving into the old Brewbachers on Sherwood. I haven't talked to him in a couple years really just because it was a pain in the arse to go into the car lot. Glad to see him coming back and I'll see him soon as he opens.

I loved Dairy Queens over four decades ago when I was a kid. I'd get the foot long hot dog, followed by a vanilla ice milk cone dipped into that red shell coating. Their biggest competition in the North when traveling was Dog n Suds which was sort of like a cross between A&W and DQ. The truckers used to call them "Arf n Barf"

Even though I liked it as a kid, my total visits to this DQ will likely be zero.
