The process of blending a light ingredient, such as beaten egg whites, into
a heavier ingredient by lifting from underneath with a spatula or spoon In order
to fold ingredients properly, the heavier ingredient is placed at the bottom of
a bowl and the lighter above. A motion commonly used to fold the ingredients
involves starting at one side of the bowl, moving downward and then across the
bottom to the opposite side, enabling the ingredients on top to be brought down
into and replacing the ingredients on the bottom. The bowl is then rotated a
quarter turn and the motion is repeated. It is important not to completely blend
the ingredients together. For example, if beaten egg whites are blended too
thoroughly, the egg whites will lose their volume.
Keep frozen until time to serve.
History... 1950s
Sonic Drive-In
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Following
World War II,
Troy
N. Smith Sr., Sonic's founder, returned to his hometown of
Seminole,
Oklahoma, where he became employed as a
milkman. He decided to work delivering bread because
bread was not as heavy as milk. Soon afterwards, Smith purchased the Cottage
Cafe, a little diner in Shawnee, Oklahoma. Before long he sold it and opened a
fast food
restaurant, Troy's Pan Full of Chicken, on the edge of town. In 1953, Smith
went in with a business partner to purchase a five-acre parcel of land that had
a log house and a walk-up
root
beer stand, already named the Top Hat. The two men continued with the
operation of the root beer stand and converted the log house into a steak
restaurant. After realizing that the stand was averaging
$700 a week
in the sale of root beer,
hamburgers and
hot dogs, Smith decided to focus on the more-profitable
root beer stand. He also bought out his business partner.

Originally, Top Hat customers would park their
automobiles anywhere on the
gravel parking lot and walk up to place their orders.
However, on a trip to
Louisiana,
Smith saw a drive-in that used speakers for ordering. He suspected that he could
increase his sales by controlling the parking and having the customers order
from
speakers at their cars,
with carhops delivering the food to the cars. Smith borrowed several automobiles
from a friend who owned a
used-car
lot to establish a layout for controlled parking. He also had some so-called "
jukebox boys" come in and wire an
intercom system in the parking lot.
Sales immediately tripled. Charles Woodrow Pappe, an
entrepreneur, chanced upon the Shawnee drive-in
and was very impressed. He and Smith negotiated the first
franchise location in
Woodward, Oklahoma, in 1956, based on
nothing more than a handshake. By 1958, two more drive-ins were built, in
Enid and
Stillwater.

Upon learning that the Top Hat name was already
trademarked, Smith and Pappe changed the name to
Sonic in 1959. The new name worked with their existing slogan, "Service
with the Speed of Sound". After the name change, the first Sonic sign was
installed at the Stillwater Top-Hat Drive-In, which is why the Stillwater
location is officially considered the first Sonic Drive-In; the original sign
still can be seen there.
