No visit to Old Town Scottsdale is complete without a stop at the iconic Sugar Bowl Ice Cream Parlor Restaurant &.

According to research, sugar is the preferred energy source for most or all herbivores and omnivores. Additionally, sweetness has been associated with positive emotions - just look at all the sugary terms of endearment! All of this means that it's perfectly natural to get excited about carefully reading the last section of the menu. Interestingly, desserts weren't always put off until the last course. In Ottoman Turkey and Renaissance Italy, dessert was sandwiched between dishes. The first mentions of dessert as a last course in France date back to the 14th century, but it wasn't until the 17th century that dessert became the name of the last course.
