Crown Candy Kitchen, since 1913
1401 St. Louis Avenue, Old North, St. Louis

A soda fountain opened by two Greek immigrants in 1913 and run by the same family ever since, in a neighbourhood that emptied out around it and did not take it with it. They still make the candy on site. The house challenge is five malts in half an hour for a free malt and a photograph on the wall, and the bacon sandwich comes with a stack of bacon that has to be seen.
