The City Sage Anyone who knows me even passingly well knows that I have two favorite foods. The first, ice cream, stirs me to such a frenzy that I could devote not a single post but an entire blog to its greatness. And the second has known me to walk the length of a city and wait in line for hours simply for its light, spongy, maple-soaked promise. I’m talking, of course, about pancakes. The breakfast staple has near-deity status in my family; every weekend of my childhood we’d worship around great steaming stacks prepared to the exact specifications handed down by my great-grandfather.

The restaurant is right by my house so I'm pretty addicted to their sandwiches and their homemade chocolate chip cookies (which blow my mind and are currently my favorite cookie of choice). Made with the addition of Cap'n Crunch cereal and peanut butter chips on top of regular chocolate chips, it's a chewy crunchy protein-packaged cookie I can't get enough of. I begged them to share the recipe, and they kindly said yes!
