Riz au Lait: The Frenchman's Ultimate Comfort Food
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Ask anyone from New England if she remembers Friendly's and she will probably instantly recount an obsession with their Conehead Sundaes (pictured) or gigantic, thick Fribbles (what Yankees call frappes, or milkshakes). The Barbie-pink color scheme and 80s cursive script invoke many a memory for folks from the region, so we suspect they'll be in line when the chain gives away free one-scoop cones and dishes on Saturday June 6 (between noon and 5 p.m., the prime sugar-crash zone). It's the second freebie-scooping year in a row and one exec reports, "We want to give away as much ice cream as possible."
Done and done. See you in line, buddy.

Stef: Good grief. Of course it's a Conehead. Total senior moment (for a 33-year-old). Thanks for the correction; it's fixed!

(and friendly's ice cream was great -- but the food was notably wretched)
