jaxsonsicecream.comJaxson's Ice Cream Parlor & Restaurant is South Florida's most infamous name in ice cream. The ice cream is made in store and sundae seekers and competitive eaters always opt for the the Jaxson's trademark, Kitchen Sink. This gargantuan concoction is served in a miniature replica of a kitchen sink and features 40 scoops of ice cream sloppily slathered with whipped cream, hot fudge, nuts and cherries. It is intended for parties of four or more to share and is the brainchild of recently deceased owner, Monroe Udell. As a testament to his legacy, the Kitchen Sink has been duplicated at several establishments across the United States and has been profiled on the Food Network, but none come close to the original.
