Kimballs in Littleton Mass. Vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, whipped cream no nuts. Orrrrrrr a Kimballs special. Any flavor ice cream you want strawberry ,pineapple and hot fudge sauce with tons of whipped cream. If you want the banana you get a banana split. Can be shared its so big.

I had forgotten about maple syrup over ice cream or custard. Mom used to serve that.Will have to revisit that with the addition of nuts!

Custard or ice cream with just the maple syrup puts a smile on my face, too. I use vanilla Haagen or Ben & Jerry's for it, too, but I have this special love for frozen custard. My dad made it when I was a kid, but I didn't discover the maple syrup until adulthood. Fresh fruit like peaches, bananas and blueberries work well on that sundae, also.

A Dusty Road from Eddie's Sweet Shop in Forest Hills, Queens. Three scoops of ice cream. Think I'll go with vanilla, chocolate and butter pecan, hot fudge sauce (warmed up, natch), roasted salted peanuts, plenty of malt powder, real whipped cream and a cherry on top. And a huge, Mongo-sized glass of ice water!

No one serves my favorite, so I have to make it at home. A couple of scoops of vanilla frozen custard topped with real maple syrup and toasted chopped pecans or walnuts. (No bacon.)

A cherry sundae from Shady Glen in CT.

We returned to the great Shady Glen last month for ice cream and while en route

to Maine. Pure heaven -- and a step back in time with the paper-hatted and bowtied

waitstaff. Loved the Butter Crunch ice cream. Pretty darn near perfection.

Mashed potatos, rich beef gravy, sprinkling of bits of bacon, garlic chives, fresh cracked black pepper, and maybe a few deeply carmalized onion slices on the side.

What? I've never had a sweet tooth.

I wish! Sadly, it is raspberry ice cream with marshmallows that looks like a smurf because of the blue and white coloring. But I just pretend it is smurfette

Chocolate chip ice cream with carmel topping. No whipped cream, nuts or cherry for me.

My favorite sundae does not come from an ice cream parlor. I know that sounds strange but....

Banana Chimchanga @ Acapulco's in Aurora, IN

They deep fry the banana in chimi wrappings with brown sugar (Hints of Banana Foster)

When the chimi is done, sliced open, 3 scoops of your favorite ice cream flavor (usually choc, strawberry, vanilla), topped with whipped cream and drizzled with chocolate sauce and a cherry.

A cherry sundae from Shady Glen in CT. With, maybe, pistachio ice cream, and a bit of hot fudge, whipped cream, nuts and at least one cherry.

I have always loved a sundae consisting of chocolate ice cream covered with pinapple syrup, whipped cream and a cherry. My craving for that combo began when I was approx. 12 and continues to this day- fifty years later.

My all-time favorite sundae dates to the early 1950s. It was a time when there was a national thing going on with super-colossal ice cream sundaes -- something that started with a story in Life Magazine. In my hometown ice cream places started making them and offering deals.

My favorite place made a ten-scoop sundae with sliced bananas, pineapple chunks, at least four or five different syrups including butterscotch, strawberry and hot fudge, plus whipped cream, nuts and maraschino cherries. If you could eat a whole one of these you'd get it, and a second one, free. If you couldn't finish the first one you paid a whole two bucks.

I always got my second one.

Sadly our favorite ice cream place was torn down earlier this year. They're building a jewelry store there now. I'd rather have the ice cream place. My favorite sundae is chocolate ice cream (hand dipped) with hot fudge, hot caramel, whole peanuts, and whipped cream. No need for a cherry on top, I don't eat them anyway. ;)

DQ is still on my favorite places for a ice cream sundae. I certainly enjoy their soft serve with hot chocolate sauce or butterscotch.

They are pretty consistent and most seemed to have upgraded heir facilities. The new ones I have seen are very attractive.

Sundancer,

DQ used to make a "Dixie-Belle" Sundae. Soft-serve with a scoop of Hot Fudge and Carmel or Butterscotch then topped with pecan pieces. it was a real bargain at DQ prices (compared to the parlor prices).

Ben,
The silver treatment was the crowning touch for me. My teeth still ache at the thought of my silver spoon scraping that silver dish...and scraping out the contents of the 'extra' supply of toppings from those creamers. Nut choices were crushed peanuts (salty), walnuts, almonds, or pecans. No aresol can whipped topping either... A large bowl of whipped cream behind the counter had a large spoon in it, to be ladled out into your individual cereal bowl of 'extra cream'!

Some of you older SoCal folks must remember Helen Grace's... They got as much attention as the old Farrell's did in the days before Baskin Robbins grabbed a huge market share in that area.

If they were still open, Farrell's Hot Fudge Nutty Nutty.

Today I go for Aglamesis homemade luscious pistachio ice cream, covered with their decadent bittersweet chocolate topping, real whipped cream, and nuts. Oh my !

Anywhere decent ice cream is served: 2 scoops vanilla topped with lots of good quality thick hot fudge, whipped cream, chopped almonds, and a big maraschino cherry with the stem left on. Double yummo!

CTD-
Great minds think alike! Or is that hungry minds? You mentioned my two favorite places, Graeter's and Crown Candy Kitchen. I would say three scoops of Graeter's Black Raspberry Chip, covered with a generous portion of hot fudge and nothing else.
