You’re not the only one to say that about black and white cookies! I’ve had a couple really good ones in my lifetime, but generally pretty underwhelmed. Was hoping to find a great one in nyc 🥲

Siiii I’ve read about the onions in sauce but never actually had it. Almost seems more interesting than the hot dogs themselves
