Summary: Dog days of summer getting you down? Why not treat yourself to a story about one of the first families of ice cream in 19th century Philadelphia? Learn how a modest ice cream shop went head to head with New York’s famous Delmonico’s to become one of the finest restaurants in America. A special feature from The Feast this week, in collaboration with Becky Diamond, author of “The Thousand Dollar Dinner”, we’ll cool you down with some scandalous vanilla ice cream and take you behind the scenes of one of America’s first great cookery challenges. Find out how to buy “The Thousand Dollar Feast”, more about the history of ice cream, and all the songs from the episode on our website, www.thefeastpodcast.org. Written & Produced by Laura Carlson. Special thanks to Becky Diamond.
