Ithaca, an area long known as a dining hotspot, has extensive history and documentation supporting the ice cream sundae's creation here in The information is so specific, the city can almost pinpoint the exact hour the first ice cream "Sunday" was served.
While other cities may claim the sundae, none can support its claim with primary evidence. This gives Ithaca title to the first documented ice cream sundae in the United States. Food historians are quite certain that Americans served ice cream with toppings prior to the s. But the combination only became a sundae when somebody viewed the completed dish as new and unique—distinct enough in preparation, presentation and taste to be worthy of a special name.
That's exactly what happened in Ithaca in Shop proprietor, Chester C. Platt, was church treasurer and he met often with Scott for conversation after services. Seeking refreshment for himself and the reverend, Platt asked his fountain clerk, DeForest Christiance, for two bowls of ice cream.
But instead of serving the reverend plain vanilla, Platt took the bowls and topped each with cherry syrup and a candied cherry. The finished dish looked delightful and tasted delicious—so much so that the men felt obliged to name the new creation.
After some debate, Scott suggested that it be named for the day it was created. Platt concurred and the first "Cherry Sunday" was born.
Local folklore or historic fact? What makes Ithaca's ice cream sundae story unique is the surprising evidence discovered to support the claim. But decide for yourself. Just follow the clues. Could the ice cream sundae have been created earlier in another city? It's certainly possible, but without historical documentation, such claims are pure conjecture. A certain crunchy college town in upstate New York, though, begs to differ with that designation.
Instead of the usual unadorned scoops of vanilla, Platt decided to add cherry syrup and a candied cherry to each serving of ice cream. Realizing he had a hit on his hands, he advertised the dish in the local newspaper, and soon after introduced a chocolate and a strawberry Sunday.
Several years ago, a pair of intrepid local high schoolers rooted around in the town archives and came up with a solid paper trail. Well, not quite. With both sides firmly dug in, a civic albeit good-humored spat has developed between the towns.
Officials have written letters back and forth over the years. Two Rivers even issued a cease-and-desist order to Ithaca regarding their sundae story. Despite the various stories and cities claiming to be the real birthplace of the ice cream sundae, there are a few common elements in each one that point toward this dessert's origins.
According to Farmers' Almanac , one part of the story that's generally accepted is that ice cream sundaes were the result of Blue Laws. These laws are based in religion, and usually restrict or prohibit activities that could be considered sinful. One Blue Law that existed in the s made selling soda illegal on Sundays, which was a problem for anyone who liked ice cream sodas or root beer floats.
