Who would have thought adding a little egg to ice cream would change the world of desserts forever?

If you're itching for some frozen custard, these are the places you need to try.

In the early 20th century, the three Coors brothers — Archie, Claire, and Elton — made history by creating a new kind of dessert.

The story begins with them going from house to house selling ice cream and milk out of a horse-drawn carriage.

The boys were ready to level up their operation with an ice cream maker called the Meisenhalter ice cream freezer.

Before hitting the boardwalk, they tried their machine out at local spots, and a bit of tinkering transformed the device into a softie-making empire.

The Coors just needed some sun, surf, and the salty Atlantic air of the boardwalk.

At a nickel apiece, those servings of ice cream probably seemed like a bargain to the 18,000 people who lined up that first day to get relief from the heat.

There was just one problem.

Salty air plus ice cream equaled rapid melting.

The Coors solved this dilemma by adding eggs to the recipe, which allowed the frozen dessert to stand up to the heat.

This invention merited a new name — frozen custard.

"...frozen." "...frozen cold, frozen?

Frozen to the touch?" Although the original Coney Island Coors closed, the recipe and tradition live on at Coors in Seaside Heights, New Jersey.

How do you improve upon perfections like chocolate or coffee-flavored frozen custard?

By adding extras like Oreo cookie crumbles, mini gummy bears, and some Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

Of course, purists who have tasted the offerings from Surfside Frozen Custard in Seagirt, New Jersey might balk at the idea of adding anything at all to the restaurant's made-fresh daily custard.

In many respects, Surfside Frozen Custard couldn't be more different than the boardwalk ice cream and frozen custard mini-marts.

Like the original Coors restaurants, Surfside Frozen Custard is the passion project of three brothers — T.J. Earle, Michael Earle, and Walter Earle II. Owning a frozen custard business allows them to enjoy the summer sun with local New Jersey residents — an experience that's made lovelier by nabbing a seat at the nearby picnic benches,

Right under the ferry lights.

It's all part of the restaurant's outdoor seating area, and it's pure summer magic.

It's difficult to discuss the history of frozen custard without talking about ice cream, and in the U.S., it's impossible to talk about ice cream without mentioning where someone took the first bite of it.

That first bite happened in 1744 during a private affair at the Annapolis home of then-Maryland Governor Thomas Blayden.

This gives ice cream lovers in Maryland a conversational jumping-off point when they're ready to trek down Maryland's ice cream trail, and the top place to get your custard fix in Maryland is the Queen City Creamery & Deli in Cumberland.

The shop serves vanilla and chocolate custard, plus one other flavor of the day.

Naturally, this spot also knows how to decorate a custard cone by offering a variety of toppings, including peach, strawberry, and Kit-Kat.

The dessert has become so popular that you can now find tubs of it in the frozen food aisle of local grocery stores.

Queen City Creamery & Deli is also the place to go if you'd like something savory with that sweet.

Shop visitors can order a sandwich and a gourmet cup of java before digging into their favorite frozen dessert.

For frozen custard lovers in Springdale, Pennsylvania, a trip to the frozen custard stand means more than two scoops of deliciousness.

It also means a round of mini-golf if the mood strikes, making Glenn's Custard one of the more unique places around the country to get your frozen dessert fix.

Glenn's began just a few years after the end of World War II, and it's easy to imagine how refreshing its frozen custard must have been to Springdale residents after the austere war years.

As of this video, this hand-me-down family business is on iteration number four, with Glenn number three and his son Eli at the helm.

Classic favorites include vanilla and chocolate, but Glenn's also offers a specialty menu filled with flavors like Red Velvet Cupcake, Pistachio, Rockin' Cotton Candy, and more.

You can also purchase made-to-order frozen custard cakes at this beloved establishment.

And for those who just need one more bite of custard for the road, the restaurant makes tubs of frozen custard to go.

It's easy to see why Glenn's is regularly named one of the best places to have frozen custard in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Like the Coors before them, Tish and Tom Lascola of Lascola's Italian Ice & Custard in Highland Park, Pennsylvania, began by selling at fairs before moving their business to a more permanent location.

Granted, they were on the road a lot longer than the Coors, 14 years to be exact, but the wait for them to find a permanent place was worth it.

Now, Lascola's is one of Highland Park's best-known dessert places in the city.

It brings a little something extra to the frozen custard market by throwing Italian ice into the mix.

The combination of Italian ice and its famous frozen custard forms the restaurant's signature dish, the iceberg.

Venturing out to Lascola's, the happy feelings start even before the sugar high sets in.

On the walls near its outdoor seating area is a technicolor mural filled with sunshine, flowers, and other positive imagery.

Once you arrive at the U-Serve window, you'll see offerings for more than just chocolate and vanilla.

Lemon-olive oil, salted caramel, and rum raisin are just a few of the must-try flavors.

Although the custard craze started in New York's Coney Island in the early 1900s, Wisconsin usurped the Big Apple's place to become the unofficial custard capital of the world by the 1930s.

This largely had to do with a combination of three separate but important factors.

First, a lot of dairy cows live in Wisconsin.

Second, since Prohibition put the kibosh on adult beverages, the brewers of the Midwest turned to frozen custard to make up for their shortfalls.

And third, when the World's Fair came to the area, Chicago to be exact, Midwesterners got their first real introduction to frozen custard.

One person to try it there was Paul Gillis' who was wowed by how many people he saw waiting to get their frozen custard.

Not long after that, Gillis' Frozen Custard opened in 1938 as the first custard stand in Milwaukee.

"...Milwaukee's first custard stand has been slinging sweet treats for generations." Throughout its existence, Gillis' Frozen Custard employed some key people, including Paul's brother Tom and later Leon Schneider.

Schneider was Gillis' night manager until he opened his own frozen custard restaurant in Milwaukee.

And while it might be tempting to think that big competitions sprang up from there, it didn't.

This may be a key factor in why Gillis' has been open for so long, and why its classic chocolate custard always makes the city's many best-of lists.

While Leon's Frozen Custard restaurant can't brag about being Milwaukee's oldest frozen custard joint, it can brag about having the coolest retro design.

The neon lights and rounded corners on the roof fit the Googie-style diner architecture that became popular in the 1950s.

It's those bright lights that beckon hungry travelers off the road and into frozen custard heaven.

Given that the biggest serving stands five scoops tall, the capacity for joy looms large here.

And while it might not be Milwaukee's oldest frozen custard restaurant, Leon's is the second oldest, and a longtime city favorite.

When it began in 1942, the establishment only offered vanilla frozen custard.

But by the 1960s, other flavors hit the menu.

The building's current Googie-style design happened between those two occasions, making it modern for the 1950s but retro today.

Its founder was Gillis' former night manager, Leon Schneider.

Currently, Leon's son, Ron, owns and operates the business.

And while making delicious frozen custard means a great deal to him, he says the most fun comes from watching the kids staring through the window in wonder as the magic of the frozen dessert comes alive right before their eyes.

Although Kopp's Frozen Custard now enjoys just as much fame for its burgers as it does frozen custard, it's the company's philosophy of have dessert first that keeps people coming back.

Like all others in the area, Kopp's makes its frozen custard with plenty of egg yolks and lots of butterfat.

That's why it tastes great any time, and why Kopp's sells about 50 gallons daily.

As for its burgers, big dollops of butter on the buns are one of the not-so-secret ingredients that makes these sandwiches irresistible.

On a good day, the restaurant will serve 2,000 of them.

Like Leon's and Gillis', Kopp's has called Milwaukee home for decades.

Started by Elsa Kopp in 1950, the restaurant builds loyalty from the customer's first visit.

It's not unusual for people to begin their relationship with Kopp's when they are mere munchkins, nor is it unusual for them to continue the frozen custard tradition with their own kids.

And Kopp's is so good that it doesn't just attract the locals.

Some longtime customers hail from places as far away as Texas, and while they could go anywhere they want when they visit the city, it's not a visit to Milwaukee until they've made their stop-off at Kopp's Frozen Custard.

When Marty and Denny Moore created Scooter's Frozen Custard in 2003, they wanted to honor the frozen dessert's roots in Chicago.

One way they do this is by getting their custard makings from the same dairy that brought the recipe to Chicago's World Fair in 1933.

And like the World's Fair before it, Scooter's runs a seasonal operation.

Come the second Friday after Turkey Day, it's time to close up shop so the Moores can enjoy a long winter's nap, but not before every last drop of their frozen ambrosia goes out the door.

In the months when Scooter's is open, locals eat up concoctions like the Strawberry Concrete and the Elvis.

If Scooter's Frozen Custard customers would like a little sandwich to go with their custard, the Moores serve hot dogs as well to give restaurant visitors a little savory to go with their sweet.

If you're looking to beat the heat, you can't beat Scooter's.

John Ritter of Ritter's Frozen Custard found himself wondering what to do as he was winding down a 35-year career in animation.

Right before he retired, he got a nudge from one of his sons to start an ice cream shop.

When Ritter was a teen, he worked at the local ice cream parlor, and while his career took many meandering turns, the second act of his life would finally bring him back to the frozen dessert business.

Today, Ritter's Frozen Custard is located in six states, including Texas and Indiana.

The stores serve a variety of custard flavors, including Amaretto Cherry Chunk and Apple Cobbler.

The Frozen Custard restaurant in Franklin, Indiana, updates its flavors regularly and even employs a few cake maestros to create delicious frozen custard cakes to help customers celebrate birthdays, graduations,

And other special occasions.

As any business owner along Route 66 can tell you, being on that trail is very profitable.

Merge that location with nostalgic foods like frozen custard, and you have frozen food gold.

This may explain why Ted Drew's in St. Louis remains a popular stomping ground for tourists, despite being open only about five months of the year.

There's even a street sign touting it as a Route 66 attraction.

But no sign would engender that kind of loyalty that Ted Drew's does if the restaurant didn't serve quality frozen custard.

And if the number of people lined up at the window proves anything, it's that the frozen custard here merits the wait.

To the uninitiated, the store's signature dessert, the Concrete, is a frozen dessert that runs so thick you can liken it to the consistency of concrete.

Being able to turn the full-cup Sands Lid upside down counts as one of the Concrete's most convincing selling points.

Add some delicious toppings like cinnamon and pecans, or chocolate and mints, and you'll be convinced that Ted Drew's Concrete counts as the tastiest Concrete on all of Route 66. A quick perusal of Irma's original frozen custard's special flavors reads like the who's who of the custard world.

Banana kicks it off, followed by flavors like Toasted Coconut and Dutch Apple Pie.

Naturally, come fall harvest, pumpkin, pumpkin, and even more pumpkin land on the menu as a last hurrah before Irma's shutters for the season.

Everything is pumpkin spice.

And while some may be tempted to think that it takes menu ideas from Starbucks' fall playbook, that isn't the case.

Pumpkin has been featured there since the 1970s.

It's even made with the good stuff.

That is, no food substitutes.

The pumpkin and the pumpkin pie spice are as real and wholesome as the fresh eggs and butterfat in the custard itself.

As if that weren't enough, the custard restaurant offers at least 30 different kinds of parfait, giving fans an excuse to come back every day of the month to try something new.
