Ted Drewes Frozen Custard is legendary in St. Louis and among Route 66
travelers. It is located on Chippewa St. and Prather Ave. There's another
shop on s, Grand in St. Louis, but the very first stand was in St. Petersburg
Florida.
The original five service window stand was later expanded to twelve
service windows. From the day after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve
you can buy a Christmas tree here. There is no inside seating here,
just outdoor walk up order windows. There may be a few park benches
along the adjacent Prather Avenue otherwise be prepared to eat in your
car or stand around on the sidewalk while enjoying your frozen custard.
Ted Sr. seems to have liked tennis as witnessed by his having won the
Muny tennis championship annually from 1926 to 1935.
