The Sugar Bowl

"(Arthur says he can't go to the Sugar Bowl) That's horrible! That's like living in the stone age, or 1980 or something!"

- Buster Baxter

The Sugar Bowl is a dessert parlor in Elwood City, and is one of the kids' central hangouts. They talk here,

make plans here, debate here, eat junk food, among other things. It is owned and run by Carl Manino. It is located in Northeast Elwood City. It serves candy, ice cream, milkshakes, and other treats. It is somewhat competition for Mrs. Power's Ice Cream Shop, but it is on the other side of town and the Brain still eats here.

In How the Cookie Crumbles, it is shown that the Sugar Bowl hosts the annual baking competition for the annual Strawberry Festival in Elwood City. Muffy is a regular in this competition, having won twice so far. She won her second victory with her "Scrumptious Snackeroodles" which she and her friends made together, and now the Sugar Bowl sells these cookies as well.

In Sue Ellen Chickens Out, Carl Manino decides to sell the Sugar Bowl. It would then be turned into a Chickin Lickin'. Sue Ellen rallied her friends to protest against Chickin Lickin' to save the restaurant, but few of them had the desire or courage to stand up for its survival. By the end of the episode, Carl decides not to sell it because he found that he and his customers still loved it.
