Credit for the accidental invention of frozen custard is often given to Tom Carvel. However, the real credit seems to belong to the unheralded Archie C. Kohr, who re-configured an ice cream machine in 1919 and added eggs to the recipe to create a light and fluffy product that “tasted just like a custard.” He was a big success at Coney Island in New York City, and while he did not become a household name, Kohr Brothers is still selling frozen custard made from Archie’s original recipe, and has stores in 10 states. So give a "thank you" to Mr. Kohr today! ~ Chef ~ Thursday, August 18, 2011
