The Genesis of Gooey Goodness

Vanillas and chocolates have been the Ross and Rachel of the culinary world long before television even thought of the pairing. Hot Fudge Sundae Day, observed every 25th July, is a sweet tribute to this love affair, continuing the tradition started by an unknown (but clearly genius) dessert enthusiast.
