Husky Deli

Bavarian Themed - Go for the Ice Cream

Tuesday, August 16, 2005

When Ben and Jerry's opened up kitty corner in the Alaska Junction to the venerable Husky Deli, a collective hush came over the area to see who would win the ice cream show down. Ben and Jerry's had the name recognition, but Husky's had Kona Koka Rum . . . and you just can't beat that. There are many things to like about Husky, the ice cream has long been a local favorite, but I also desperately love the lightly bavarian themed interior (it took many years before I realized that not all delis were bavarian themed). I also like the blue-hued fading posters of Sweden and Germany, the candy section where you can get it measured out for you by the scoop-ful and the cool blocky logo that has stood the test of time. In this place, the concept of "self serve" is still unheard of.
