The Pancake Shop

I'm leaning towards an at-home chef as well, especially considering FIPS reports that a few people called over the last week only to be told they're "not delivering" on that day. This whole thing sounds suspect.

Maybe we can bait him with a pancake...

Sounds like a plan...

as a lone female, exit the 7th Ave Q train, walk down Park Pl with your iPhone on, while eating a non-DOH-approved Pancake.

As you approach Vanderbilt, we will have your back:
1. Camera ready.
2. DOH "illegal pancake" hotline in hand.
3. ?

3. Extra maple syrup. My pancake will taste good, and we can slobber it all over the guy to take him down!

I don't know how it applies here, but I do know people can get their home kitchen approved by the DOH to have an at home bakery or whatever.

I don't really think that a restaurant or home kitchen is an indication of cleanliness or filth, one way or the other.

Subject: my novel on pancakes

I must say that the standard for good/clean food is not measured by state/city/gov health standards.. the DOH is a front for making money on non sense violations. it has nothing to do with cleanliness. I have a restaurant and the inspectors couldn’t care less about clean. they are out for fines=money. if any of you out here have ever worked in a commercial kitchen you know how nasty and hammered it is. not to say that the food counter and sources aren’t clean. but whether it is a chef or line cook or sever or at home chef or creative foodie the truth is in how that person is personally with hygiene is the determination on how 'clean' ur food will be.

there have been a few local bklyn/les entrepreneurs who have done some good food pilots. the mud coffee trucks you see around the les for years. they were started with a basic guy and a basic truck offering top shelf coffee. the juice truck in willyb serves organic juice out of an ice cream truck. and now there are pancakes for the ones who can appreciate good food made with good energy and if you have ordered and eaten them you know they are delicious. personally I have had them a few times. expensive? if u r broke anything is expensive . if you are lazy and stoned than pancakes are good even in a cup. if you are the stay in with ur lover and have the best brooklyn pancake delivered to ur door to share in bed then how could you go wrong.
to me the pancakeshop is a well made healthy good energy belly satisfying treat done in a way that confirms why I live in brooklyn.
