Fat fights back

KRUSCHIKI.jpgIt's food week at City Hall, where the Public Heatlh and Human Services Committee will convene in Council Chambers Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. to discuss menu labeling -- as in requiring Applebees and friends (chain restaurants, essentially) to provide nutritional information on everything they sell. Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown and Juan Ramos are backing the bill.
On Wednesday, angry bakers will descend on Council Chambers at 10 a.m. to get out from under the city ban on artificial trans fats. Bakers like Connie Szypula will bring some kruschiki (pictured here) made with and without transfats, and see if City Council members can taste the difference. The Dining Car from the Northeast will bring some Jewish Apple Cake, Termini's and Isgro's will offer cannolis. Councilwoman Joan Krajewski wants us all to know what a living hell life will be like without trans fat in our favorite bakery items. Bring on the babka, Joanie!

Just tell them to keep their mitts off the Stock's pound cake and Eiselen's butter cakes and nobody will get hurt.

Connie Jesiolowska:

The Chrusciki pictured are not Szypulas.Our Chrusciki (note the correct spelling) are all hand rolled and cut. Our Chrusciki have a thin and delicate texture that melts in your mouth.

Connie Jesiolowska is the owner who retained the name Szypulas in honor of the original owners of the bakery so that customers from afar will recognize the quality products we offer.

Our specialties include authentic Polish rye bread, cheese babkas loaded with almost 50% cheese, and our Chrusciki.
