Micro-sundae anyone? This tiny ice cream treat at Toscanini’s (the place to get flavorful ice cream in Cambridge, MA) was invented by MIT engineering graduate student Kevin Brown. After earning ice cream for life from Tosci’s by installing a sound system, Brown wisely limited his intake by consuming small portions. It took over five years for his mini creation to reach the menu, and only after Brown convinced owner Gus Rancatore that Toscanini’s yummy hot fudge sauce deserved a wider audience. Rancantore decided that kids would be well-served with a tinier sundae. Of course it turns out that adults are the big consumers of this cute cup of ice cream, topping, whipped cream, nuts, and sprinkles. Brown is now president of a sound engineering firm.
