Yeah, same comment. Picture says loaf pan, recipe says bundt pan.

Soft-Serve Ice Cream Stands in Upstate New York

C'mon folks. She's upstate (although I would also classify most of her trip as being through "Central" NY - with Western NY beginning some miles east of Rochester.) Adirondack Park is just that, the Adirondacks. If upstate was the Adirondack Park and points north, upstate NY would consist of a few thousand people....

Pi Pizzeria, St. Louis: Checking Out President Obama's Purported Favorite Pie

My mileage has varied. I've been to both Zachary's and Little Star 10+ times (splitting my time between their Valencia and Divisidero locations). I find Little Star consistently better and not prone to the undercooked disease that can sometimes consume Zachary's deep dish pies. Plus, although not relevant to this discussion, the "other stuff" (salads, desserts) etc... is miles beyond Zachary's offerings.

That said, I still think Zachary's turns out a good product and were I an East Bay resident as opposed to an SF resident, I'm not sure whether I'd do bart + a cab to get the incremental Little Star benefit.
