The opponent is a heavyweight behemoth that is not for the faint of heart. Only the bravest souls would dare oppose it. Presenting…
The Kitchen Sink Sundae from D.W. Anderson’s Eatery & Ice Cream Parlor, Gurnee
If size alone were the factor, The Kitchen Sink Sundae would win by TKO with 18 scoops of ice cream: six scoops of each flavor (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry) and assorted sauces and toppings. As if its intimidating size weren’t enough to make you quake in your pants, this sundae does indeed come served inside a kitchen sink.
