Our founders, Joe and Katherine Sapp, had a particular affinity for ice cream, but were never satisfied with just one flavor. So when they opened the first Rainbow Cone in 1926, their signature slice (not scoop!) cone featured not one, not two, but five delicious flavors stacked together. Little did they know this imaginative combination of Chocolate, Strawberry, Palmer House, Pistachio, and Orange Sherbet would become a beloved Chicago institution that rivals some of the city’s most remarkable culinary contributions.
