cream puffs

Cream puffs rise to meet demand. USA Today piece on how cream puffs are making a comeback nation-wide, powered by two Japanese chains. I'm personally crazy about Beard Papa's—I'd have a cream puff every day if my wallet (and body) could afford it, but there is no real point in any of the special flavors, the original is by far the best. I imagine the green tea cream puff would sell so much better if it was strongly flavored, instead of barely. [via amuse-bouche]
