The humble ice cream cone is something we are all guilty of taking for granted. Ever wondered who came up with the idea of rolling a thin waffle into a delicious holder for iced goodness? Well, here’s your answer: Abe Doumar first placed a scoop of ice cream into a rolled-up waffle at the St. Louis Exposition in 1904. His invention was such a success that family-run Doumar’s is still turning out tasty ice cream in cones made from the very machine and recipe that Abe used himself. While you’re there, don’t forget to try the array of awesome sundaes on offer, or even a burger if you crave something hot.
