Started in 1935, Whitey's Ice Cream is a guilty pleasure of many people here in the Quad Cities and over in Iowa City/Coralville for a number of years. They're just too damn convenient as they have locations all over the place here in the Quad's.
Whitey's is so popular that there isn't a Baskin-Robbins in the Quad Cities. About the only thing that rivals it's popularity is Dairy Queen and it's just not the same as Whitey's.
Whitey's has a Lemon Custard that they have only during the spring and summer months that is to die for. It is the most scrumptious ice cream in the world. And in the fall, they do a Pumpkin ice cream that is very, very good, too.
When anyone comes to visit from out of town, the big thing is to take 'em to Whitey's. But, seriously, I had to really limit my Whitey's intake this last summer. I was there way too much the year before.
But there's really nothing better on a hot summer's night than a cool treat from Whitey's...
