Is Krisch's Restaurant & Ice Cream Parlour Still Open? Man v. Food Update

Man v. Food's February 1, 2022 Long Island episode centered its food challenge on Krisch's Restaurant & Ice Cream Parlour in Massapequa, where the Kitchen Sink Challenge asks a diner to finish ten scoops of ice cream with three toppings, bananas, waffle wedges, whipped cream, sprinkles, and cherries within an hour, per the restaurant's own site, which promotes the challenge alongside a TikTok clip advertising the show's February 1st broadcast. Krisch's traces its history to a 1920 ice cream shop in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, that closed during the Depression, reopened in Hollis, Queens, in the 1930s, and relocated to Massapequa in 1955, according to the business's own history page. The restaurant still makes its ice cream on-site and serves an all-day breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu at 11 Central Ave. The website, copyrighted 2026, lists current hours and an active online-ordering system.
