Audrey Vann embarked on a quest to find the best banana split in Seattle, trying out five different establishments over three days. The traditional banana split includes three types of ice cream (chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry), three sauces (fudge, strawberry sauce, and crushed pineapple), whipped cream, and cherries, all served between two lengthwise slices of a banana. Vann evaluated offerings from The Great American Diner & Bar, Baskin-Robbins, Dairy Queen, Ben & Jerry’s, and Lil’ Tiger Ice Cream. Despite the rich array of experiences, Dairy Queen’s version was deemed the closest to the traditional recipe, while Lil’ Tiger had the best homemade ice cream.
