Ted Drewes A ST. LOUIS TRADITION
Hello and welcome to the best site for frozen custard on Route 66 and myspace.
I never anticipated being on the internet, much less posting a site on here but its what the kids are doing now days. While I may not have high speed graphics and videos, I do have an outstanding staff that delivers great frozen custard and I invite you to visit one of our two great locations.
My family has been selling frozen custard in St. Louis since 1930. The attention to quality has made custard the finest in St. Louis. The store on Chippewa (Rt. 66) has been serving frozen custard and smiles since 1941. The famous "Concrete" is so thick that it is served upside down to customers. First timers get quite a start from that one!
Ted Drewes Frozen Custard has been a tradition in St. Louis since 1929. The most famous location is on the St. Louis' stretch of Old Route 66. There is also a second location at 4224 South Grand in South St. Louis. This unique to St. Louis frozen custard treat is sold in cones, in sundaes and as "concretes," which is the name given to shakes so thick you can turn them upside down and they don't fall out of the cup. The unique formula for frozen custard was developed by my father, also named Ted, back in 1929.
This recipe is still used today and although the custard is always vanilla, the topping choices and flavors for concretes are endless. Some of my specialties include:
The Southern Delight - a concrete or sundae with praline pecans and butterscotch
The All Shook Up - which has a strangefamiliarity to the peanut butter and banana sandwiches that Elvis used to eat.
The Sin Sundae - a concrete or sundae with tart cherries and hot fudge
The Fox Treat - a concrete or sundae with hot fudge, raspberries, and macadamia nuts.
The Crater Copernicus - Devil's Food Cake topped with frozen custard, hot fudge, and freshly whipped cream.
The Dottie - a concrete or sundae mint, chocolate, and macadamia nuts. This treat just happens to be named after Ted's wife.
The Terramizou - a concrete or sundae with Ted's special blend of chocolate and pistachio nuts.
The Dutchman - named for the team of a nearby high school, this luscious concoction contains fresh roasted pecans, hot fudge and butterscotch.
This is just a small sampling of some of the fantastic treats awaiting you and your family at Ted Drewes. In addition to the standard ice cream cones and sundaes, I'm is always coming up with special concoctions and seasonal offerings.
The main Ted Drewes main location on Chippewa (Historic Route 66) is open from February through December. The store on South Grand is only open during the summer months. Both stores open at 11:00 AM and close as late as midnight during the summer. It is always best to call first. Make sure and visit my new website, www.teddrewes.com. Our regular stores carry a wide assortment of logo items, including mugs, t-shirts, caps and keychains as well as items with the Route 66 logo. In the near future you will be able to order Ted Drewes directly from the website!
