Today is National Chocolate Day! I'm a huge fan of this dessert myself, although rather than ordering them in restaurants, I prefer to bake my own (which I once did live, on-camera for KCPT-Channel 19 for some kind of cooking-segment fundraiser). I have to confess, though, that I have a secret weakness for the Brownie Fudge Sundae at Steak and Shake -- even if it does have -- gulp! -- over 43 grams of fat!
I've always wondered who invented brownies. The first known reference to them is a box of chocolate candy (named for the characters in a Palmer Cox book) sold in the 1897 Sears & Roebuck catalogue. The first recipe for the dessert was in the 1906 edition of the Boston Cooking-School Cookbook.

I agree about S&S. The chain has gotten very slack about cleanliness lately. The one I used to frequent in my home town in a dump. What happened?
The last time I looked DQ [of whom I have been having quality of service problems in the past few years], Carrow, Dennies had such [usually with ice cream/ ala mode]!
Ah, Steak and Shake, not even a shaddow of the place I worked for in Ain't Louis decades ago!
