Cornbread + bacon = unnecessary bacon

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

Au Bon Pain (or “ABP” as we Brown kids call it) now offers a bacon and cheese mini loaf that looks a lot like the southwest cornbread they used to sell. I bought a mini loaf yesterday while hurrying to a class, but about half way through, decided I much prefer my cornbread meat-free. I [...]

The illusion of choice

Spike’s on Thayer Street has two types of napkin dispenser in close proximity. They both dispense the same napkins, but it’s still nice to have options.

Friday, July 20th, 2007

First off, just so we’re clear, I’m not making a commitment to blog about a restaurant every week. Do you hear me internets? I owe you NOTHING!
