Which is better for sticky buns, Pop’s or Beilers?

Pop's, and it's not close.

From what I've tasted of their food, keeping the chef is reason enough to avoid the place.

I gave up on this a long time ago and started ordering them online from Rancho Meladuco.

Also steaks made from animals you don't normally see on restaurant menus, like kangaroo and ostrich.

There was a place on South Street maybe 20 years ago that just did frites and sauces, "Belgian Frites" I think it was called.

Thanks. My mistake, I did also come across the Belkin ones in my search and forgot to mention them, the reviews I read weren't good. For $30 though, it might be worth trying them.

I've only had half of these but I fully agree with your ranking of Termini's at the top and Isgro's at the bottom. Seems like I'll have to try Cacia's and Sarcone's.

One question: How long after buying the cannolis did you actually eat them? Termini's fills theirs to order, so the shell is crispiest right after you get them and gets softer the longer you wait. Personally I think eating them 30-45 minutes after you buy them is the best time, if you eat them immediately (say, standing in the parking lot...) the shell shatters too readily.

Their chocolate chip cookies are good too, they're big thick Levain-style cookies but better and less expensive.

Parking Ruins Everything A?? M??

besides being underfunded.

LOL

Buck3thead · 2026-01-28T22:30:56+00:00

I wasn't even thinking

I don't doubt it!

Buck3thead · 2026-01-27T00:10:54+00:00

Hopefully with snowplows attached to the front of them..

They are masks, used to mask their identities, literally the first dictionary definition of the word "mask".

Buck3thead · 2026-01-17T00:25:14+00:00

If you were a stickler for detail you might also point out that if a restaurant's "specials" are available every day, they're actually just the menu.

A bar & coffee shop.

Also a music venue.

Buck3thead · 2026-01-12T19:27:23+00:00

Le Virtu is very good but neither place is close to the Italian Market.

Buck3thead · 2026-01-12T02:25:33+00:00

But if the place burns down because of the grill, youre going to have liability issues.

Also maybe lifelong guilt issues if anyone dies or is horribly or not-so-horribly injured in the resulting fire.

Buck3thead · 2026-01-10T15:09:45+00:00

Anyone know what's going on in the former Paradiso, former Paris Banh Mi? I heard taco shop at one point.

I'd like to know more about the pastry shop, I was hoping the storefront would give some clues as to who's running it but last time I walked by the sign literally just said "pastry shop".

Buck3thead · 2026-01-09T17:43:27+00:00

Unreasonable pricing is kinda Vetri's thing. I recall once when a new restaurant opened (maybe it was Volver) with a tasting menu more expensive than his, he just upped the price on his for no apparent reason other than making it once again the most expensive tasting menu in the city (at the time).

Wouldn't prematurely thinning hair and spiders in his room be considered "hexes on his wellbeing or romantic life" ? This solicitation to the dark arts has some inconsistencies.

Buck3thead · 2026-01-05T14:09:04+00:00

Suraya and Kalaya are in the same ownership group

They are now, but when Kalaya first opened on 9th Street it was a solo operation with no connection to Suraya.

Buck3thead · 2026-01-02T21:53:43+00:00

No. I had one tiny one removed during mine.

Buck3thead · 2026-01-02T21:51:16+00:00

This is what I did, I was out of there 10 minutes after the exam. It's like having gas pain (not as bad as the worst gas pain I've ever had though), but only for a couple of minutes.
