The Butter Milk Drops were so awesome, the old fashioned powdered jelly donuts and the turtles were like no other. I live in Houston TX now, but I do miss the days of growing up in New Orleans and my mawmaw taking me to McKenzies.
Sometimes it feels so long ago, sometimes like only yesterday. But those were good days. 1/2 gal of K & B ice cream for $1.89... you can't get much anything for that $ now. It was good ice cream too. At least we still have the Cafe Du Monde and Central Grocery
no. apparently it was sold in 2000 and went bankrupt the following year. i grew up with mckenzie's. their baked goods were good and affordable. i especially liked their simple no-filling king cakes, their donuts, pound cakes, coconut cakes. maybe sales were down and that was the reason for the sale and eventual bankruptcy.
I believe they were shut down due to health code violations. Tastee bought their recipes and sells stuff like buttermilk drops, king cakes, blackout cakes, etc.
Worked at McKenzies in high school….best job. We could sample anything we wanted.

"Showbiz pizza, where a kid can be a kid!" I love that!!!
That commercial was a cheap thrill! I was expecting the Rockafire.
RIP McKenzies, No donut shop like em. I used to live next to their facility
There is only 1 location left.
It's on Harrison Ave (Lakeview) area.
The recipes are now owned by Tastees donuts
I remember all of these commercials
McKenzie’s. I remember that.
I'm feeling sad that's they don't have showbiz pizza anymore
The Showbiz name may be gone, but the old Showbiz in the New Orleans area (in Metairie) is still open as a Chuck E Cheese's today!
LOTSA NUTZ!!!
K&B has LOTSA-NUTS???? WTF???
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Did you ever try the SPUMONI ice cream flavor from K&B?
LOL!!! 0:03
I miss K&B
Say was that Tempsett Bledsoe in the K&B commercial?
Who's the SOB who disliked this
I feel like a kid again.

Is McKenzie's not around anymore? If not, when did the close the stores?
