seen it on a restaurant menu or in a bakery (not that bakery lemon meringue pie is anything like homemade). And, yes, it is labor-intensive, but surely no more so than some of the fancy ganache cakes that are now fashionable....

to expect. While the restaurants themselves are somewhat to blame, for not offering sufficient training, etc., I suspect that part of the problem could be a shortage of qualified high-end servers in the local labor pool. Anyway,...

to a shortage of oven space. (I personally think they’re freaking NUTS to try to bake their own bread and do all the other labor-intensive stuff they’re doing, but by god, bravo to them for trying) As far as the prices...

You can’t have too much ice? I guess there is a shortage, globally.

, and that very few of us have a strong southern accent. Since Katrina, lots of Mexican laborers have moved here, and I can’t tell you how much better the restaurants they’ve opened are than what we were previously...
