“Everything but the kitchen sink” (Jahn’s “Kitchen Sink” dessert)
"Everything but the kitchen sink" (from the earlier "Everything but the kitchen stove") is an expression that means absolutely everything (except one, such as a sink or stove that is attached to the house). "He had on everything but the kitchen sink and the door mat" was cited in print in 1914.
Jahn's ice cream parlor began in 1897 and expanded to several locations throughout the city. The big ice cream dish was the "Kitchen Sink," which had a little of everything. There's still a Jahn's in Queens.

Jahn's Old Fashioned Ice Cream Parlor was originally part of a chain which began in the Bronx in 1897. The last remaining one is a Richmond Hill favorite eatery, operating since 1923 at 81-04 37th Ave. (718-651-0700). Many of the original items from the early 1900s are still on display as is the still working nickelodeon piano. This real treat, in my youth, were the free sundaes on your birthday. My new diet has kept me away too long to know if you can still celebrate there for free. However, I'm told that the mother of all sundaes, "The Kitchen Sink" with 22 flavors and 11 toppings, is still available. Oh, bring the kids.
