I love fried pickles but I thought your comment about spears was really weird because I find the exact opposite to be true. The chips tend to get soggy and cold much faster than the spears. Which made sense to me because the spears are crunchier in the first place. I actually avoid places that have chips. Hooters for example has the chips. Which almost everywhere has a hooters so there you go but I don't go because I want the real thing. The full on spear and if you're lucky and you're at Little River BBQ in Townsend, TN then you get the special sauce too (some sort of sweet mustard). It's absolutely the best. Chips really?!!? So confusing....

How did I ever miss this? Toots was my first exposure to fried pickles back in college over 10 years ago! Now, Jockamo's is my place to get my fix!

Adam makes a very good point. Who were they? Why did they do it? This brief article touches on the fertile topic of illegal immigrants but fails to delve into the topic at all. I would like to see a longer article, to give this important subject the space it deserves.

I wonder what they did with all the cocoa powder?? Hmmmm

While it is fantastical -- in that it sounds like something out of a dream or zany skit, it is sad. They put themselves in serious danger and must have had no other options if they'd resort to going inside the tanker.

Gives a new meaning to "Death by Chocolate".

Finally got over there last week. All I can say is OMG!!!!! One of the best things I have ever eaten and I have eaten alot of good bakery treats. Will have to save all my calories for my next trip. Was not as impressed with the other baked treats, but this would be worth going back for. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I am in Boston two to three times a month, so this temptation will have to be carefully dolled out or I will look like the Pillsbury dough boy!!!!

Without a doubt, very much worth the trip-especially in the am when they are fresh!

Thanks! I'm actually heading to the druid for an official burger tasting next week. I'm doing a similar sort of roundup on Boston burgers (with a slightly different slant). Keep your eyes tuned on the Sunday Globe Magazine in a couple weeks - the article should be out then (I've had 8 burgers in the last three days. ouch).

aw, i wanted to send my bf an angry burger message, but it doesnt have his name as an option. lame.

Ham with manchego cheese pressed on Sullivan St Stirato bread.

Grilled Ham

cheese - either baby swiss, Havarty, Muenster or Cabot White Cheddar

bread - cajun mustard on artisan bread, pumpernickel or croissant - toasted till cheese melts

I luv mustard & melted cheese on it!
