Iceberg Drive Inn

St. George outpost of a Utah drive-in founded in Salt Lake City in 1960, known for thick hand-dipped shakes and made-to-order burgers.

He ran it for thirty-six years. Thick hand-dipped shakes and made-to-order burgers are still what it is known for.

Context

The two-n spelling of 'Drive Inn' was a deliberate choice by Lamar Sorensen, who thought an inn sounded friendlier than a drive-in, and it has been preserved ever since. He ran the business for thirty-six years from its 1960 opening. Hand-dipped means the shake is made from scoops of hard ice cream blended to order, rather than drawn from a soft-serve machine — the reason a spoon will stand up in one.
