Malt shops had the right idea — fatten the customers with ice cream, then use jitterbug-friendly jukeboxes to help them sweat off the calories. The formula endures, even six decades after Benny Goodman’s peak; Hudson’s Ice Cream Emporium trots it out again, every week this summer (beginning Monday at 8 p.m.). The parlor, complete with soda jerks, is at 18 N. Catherine Ave., in LaGrange. 708-352-1937.
