    Forget chocolate chip cookies, where can you find the best wild Thai bananas? I’ve yet to try one outside of an OH stout...

    Why did we have to bring the Jets into this. Honestly they looked better than I thought they would. Lamar Jackson and the Ravens are just too good

    Thank Christ it only took 36 minutes for the choc chip debate to be settled by a recent transplant, no less. It's clearly levain. I'm proud of everyone here.

    While delicious, I take umbrage with the fact that thr Levain CCC has walnuts in it. I’ve always felt that it should disqualify it from the category if we are talking TRUE Chocolate Chip Cookies.

    When it was open, City Bakery probably had my favorite in the city. Thin and crispy like an ice cold can of Crickets :wink:

    I find if hard to believe there is a better cookie than Levain anywhere on the planet, let alone so close. This is intriguing

    I’ve generally thought Levain is best and best value for sure. You can ask them to warm them which is nice but take their advice and don’t get one straight from the oven as it’s molten. I recently had the one from Maman and think it may be slightly better due to better and more chocolate which I prefer. Maman also makes a nice s’mores cookie.
    Pretty clear this is relevant to this thread. We are probably talking similar calorie count and health impact. Personally If I had to choose I think some of these desserts are more enjoyable than the beers who are trying to taste like them.

    I may be a recent transplant, but I've been gobbling up the gooey wares from Levain for well over 2 decades, long before beer was even a glint in my eye.

    for anyone that’s confused by @Feaor ’s comments about lining up during the day / do people work, earlier this week - on Wednesday he resigned as Chief Investment Officer at Blackstone, and took on his new role as assistant night security officer at the Target @ Atlantic Terminal. Congrats on the new role!

    I was going to get the ball rolling with a completely original "don't people have jobs" post, but unsurprisingly rozzom has it covered.

    Anyone have any idea on bottle counts for BA Drupe? I'm already pretty hesitant given the bottle I opened last night, but the lure of OH is strong. Might swing by at lunch.
