But I just say people haven't had good macarons. I used to be indifferent to them and then I tried Laduree and my whole view on macarons changed. Still, though... who picks brownies over pie? :P<br /><br />I think the whole thing with Magnolia in NYC is that they rely a lot on foot traffic, "best of" lists, and hype from <i>Sex and the City</i>. Honestly, without that show, I don't think Magnolia would've gotten big at all. But when you take the bakery out of the city, I think it kinda loses its rustic charm. And quite frankly, if I was visiting Hawaii, I'd wanna go to where the locals go, not where the tourists go.

I have a friend who doesn't like cake or pie, so when she got married (okay, it was an ex), she had a tiered wedding brownie.<br /><br />They opened a Magnolia here in Honolulu and for some reason it only lasted a year. onebadscrivenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14369040536178632130noreply@blogger.com
