Some guy is selling his wife's breast milk cheese at his restaurant. His phone is "ringing off the hook" with total fucking morons who want to try this shit. HE HAS THIS BREAST MILK CHEESE PAIRED WITH A RIESLING.

Is this real life?

Cause I'm actually starting to think that all this shit is part of some big marketing ploy engineered by Denise Albert, and Park Slope Parents and all those other annoying Mombies, just to ensure that the "parenting lobby" stays firmly planted in the weekly news frenzy.

Cause otherwise I've got to acknowledge the fact that we live in world where breast milk cheese is considered OK...and that's a hard fucking pill for me to swallow.

[Sidenote: what is the BALLER equivalent of this anyway?? Pâté made with my already ingested morning after pills? Pot brownies? Oh wait...].

Ok, so they didn't *quite* say that, but they are stepping up to the plate and calling out former chef Katy Sparks as the likely source for the bouncing checks, business is falling off rumor of last week.

Bussaco owner Scott Carney claims that everything is just peaches-n-cream over there, and though they *did* bounce a couple of checks (oopsie!) they paid em off and all's cool. Apparently they have a new chef, Andrew Smith, formerly of Lupa and del Posto, and Carney claims everything is just fine, thank you very much.

UPDATE: I have located a Girl Scout Cookie source. I repeat, GIRL SCOUT COOKIES ARE IN THE HIZZY (or almost). Get thee to the Girl Scout Cookie Cupboard! Here's allllll the scoop, thanks to our friends at Blondie & Brownie.

Ok, I've gotten THREE emails about this shit in the past week or so, and quite frankly I want some answers too.

Where the christ can us BALLERS go to get our hands on some motherfucking girl scout cookies!??

What can I say? After the shitshow that was the Bachelor finale last night, I have true love on my brain. And honestly, this is like the sweetest fucking thing I've ever seen. I'm serious, people: we could all learn a thing or two about kindness from our fave waffle pusher: Wafels & Dinges. Behold (from their blog):

"Every Saturday we park near LA Bagel Delight in Park Slope. And since we sell waffles and they sell bagels, well, you get the picture...there could be some friction.

R'uh R'oh. This in from Eater:

"Since her exit of three months, sales have plummeted to under a third when Katy [Sparks] was present. Now employees have received bouncing checks for the past four weeks. One waitress was held captive by a Park Slope Check Casher when trying to cash a paycheck last week. The check Casher was screaming that the restaurant owed him “much money”. The head chef and sous chef both walked out, understandably after not being paid for some time."

I mostly just walk by this place on my way to brunch at Scottadito ($14.99 for brunch AND unlimited mimosas!), but bouncing checks on your employees?! That shit is so not cool.

Remember a few weeks back when we all got excited as hell to go eat fried Robicelli cupcakes at the Chip Shop? And then we all went to the Chip Shop and they were like "huh??" And then we blogged about it, and instead of saying they were the sorry, the Chip Shop kinda lied and said "we have no idea what you are talking about, so this was probably some publicity stunt." And then we went back to hating the shit out of the "predatory" Chip Shop again, and suggesting you do the same?

Yeah, well none of that changes the fact that Park Slope STILL has not had their chance to try DELICIOUS, DEEP FRIED ROBICELLI CUPCAKES!

But on Friday, March 5, all that changes!
