Speaking of wars and food and TV, a tiny Mystic bakery is competing for a chance to be featured on the Food Network's Cupcake Wars. According to an article in the Mystic River Press, Li's Bake Shop on Holmes Street caught the attention of the show's producers and, if it makes the cut, could compete on TV soon. Good luck to owner Lisa Arsenault.
Thank you to another Mystic business for helping me settle yet another food fight—the Gyro War. Occasionally foodies quibble over how to order the popular Mediterranean pita sandwich known as the gyro. The issue came up one day at work recently, in fact. It seems as if most Americans insist on pronouncing this word as "jye-roh," rhymes with "pie-roh."
