Dr Dovey’s Classic 1904 Banana SplitIn a proper banana boat is placed a banana, SPLIT lengthwise

1904 by pharmacist David Strickler in Latrobe, PA. An Apprentice, Howard Dovey, brought the BANANA SPLIT to

PHILADELPHIA where he attended medical school. Dr. Dovey is credited with popularizing the FAMOUS dessert by instructing

PHILADELPHIA soda dispensers on how to make a SPLIT properly. We hope he’d be proud of ours, served in authentic

period dish. $14
