Alaina told us to do this, and we did it. But we were using some standard VA ham (leftover) and a ball of mozzeralla that I melted over the ham. Pretty delicious!

This is a great post.

What exactly does salmonella do to you?

Looks good!

We should be back to normal! Thanks everyone for your patience.

Izatryt, we're working on some of the infrastructure behind the eats. It will be humming again soon!

LOVE IT!

It's a wonderful time to be alive!

I FREAKIN LOVE PUMPKIN PIE.

AND THAT THERE ARE SO MANY WHO DON'T LIKE IT MAKES ME SAD INDEED.

I MUST TYPE IN CAPS, I AM SO DISTRAUGHT.

On a (very Fall) Sunday afternoon, I nearly walked right by Grom without noticing it. Reason being, there was no line whatsoever. I popped in for a medium cup of Pistachio and Lemon - not the best match, but still my two favorite flavors, and kept walking down Broadway thanking my lucky stars for cold weather.

Thanks Ed, for the nice writeup. Can you point us to any other good articles or web sites about the history of the web site? I found this one:

Which mentions an interesting stare down with the Giuliani administration, but that's it. Also relatively absent from the coverage - the vendors themselves. Perhaps an interview series here on SE?

w00t!

On the Hush-hush, a source tells me the new supplier of beans at Grumpy "simply offers a higher quality product" than the old supplier, although Counter Culture still takes care of the beans that become their Clover beverages. A separate source confirms this and reveals that Grumpy has an exclusive line on the new beans, so "nasty ninth street" (their phrasing, not ours) can't ape Grumpy's bean selection as they did recently.

For my part, I enjoy the blend at Ninth St. (the Toscano blend) and I also heartily enjoyed the new blend at Grumpy this afternoon. The roast is a little darker than most espresso aficionados prefer, but I enjoy the lemon notes.
