Is your mouth watering yet? Because mine was when I passed
by this magnificent space of place, known as Big Booty Bread Co. I was walking
with my dear friend to an art show opening and we literally did a double take,
not only because of the enticing front window display, but because of the
hilarious name. Despite the fact that we didn’t have dinner and that we would
be a little late to the opening, we stopped in and indulged. I ordered the
apple turnover, one of my favorite go-to bakery goods and it did not disappoint.
At $2.95, it caught my eye despite being situated next to the red velvet
cupcakes and extra chocolate fudge brownies – all good choices might I add, as
they were what my friend noshed on and I was able to sample a bite. But back to
the turnover – its flakey crust was sprinkled with enough sugary confection
that it didn’t distract from but rather added to that very special turnover
touch. Usually, I like to pick apart my turnovers and eat the crust and filling
separately, which is what I did here for the most part, but when I took a bite
of the whole thing, the flavors swirled and gave me goose bumps (not literally,
but I did close my eyes to fully savor the taste). The apple filling can be the
tricky part of a turnover as it can’t be too gooey or overly sweet - it needs
just the right tartness from the apples, the right sweetness from the sugar,
and the right consistency of a filling. This turnover embodied all that a
turnover needs to be. Experience it for yourself.
