I actually disagree with the bad reviews of Black Hound. I got excellent service - all the people working were fantastic and very attentive, and gave my friends and I free samples to try. I didn't really like the cakes though. I don't like sweet cakes too much, but theres could have done with a bit more
Ed - email me at rozettj@aol.com so we can talk about this privately. i have some reservations. i will tell you more and why.

Wow, that's an amazing story, John. Would you consider posting the recipes on Serious Eats? Maybe we can find a pastry chef who will test the recipes.
I would love to work with you on getting these recipes on Serious Eats.
Mrs. Herbst's did not close because the ethnic enclave was disappearing. It close because the 3rd generation had moved on (for example, one is a physician in L.A.) and because the land had become so valuable that it was inevitable that it would be sold. But what a fabulous bakery it was. I have a loose-leaf binder with ALL of the Herbst recipes (including non-bakery food items). Long story - but my grandmpother and the original Mrs Herbst were friends in Hungary and came here at the same time. And my non-Hungarian wife can make a pretty good Dobos Torte and palascinta.
Hey, you got it right. I've been going here all my life. There is nothing that matches it. I got mad when my meals started to hit the $5 mark.
You should get the large fries next time. 40 cents more but more than double the fries.
that lady at the counter has been there for a long time. I love that lady.
This is exactly the kind of article that I treasure AHT for. I will be checking out All American the next time I am in that area.
I need to get here. I have a friend who lives in the area and I'm sure I'll make a stop next time I'm making a visit. Looks great.
Happy to see this place reviewed. It really is a treasure. I live a couple of towns over and trust me when I say it's worth the 20 minute drive.
this totally makes me want to be near small-town America. ahhhh.. $2.55 for QP w/ Cheese? oh man, sounds like heaven!
