the brooklyn kitchen sells the product along with 4 or 5 other retailers across the country. none of these stores manufacture or market the prodcut - the company who does that is located in indianapolis. The only connection to NYC is that you can buy it from a store in brooklyn. the connection is loose enough for one to question whether the Bakers Edge director of marketing (David Hall) contacted gothamist about getting a post written about their product. The other possibility is that a Gothamist writer one day wandered into brooklyn kitchen and thought it would be really neat to write a post about a product he found there. but if this were the case, wouldn't more attention be given to the fact that you could buy the prodcut in brooklyn, or about the kitchen itself? you'll notice in the post that no reference is made to nyc until the last word of the last sentence i don't know, it's just kind of interesting to me and i thought i'd see if anyone else had the same reaction as i did. certainly i don't find this offensive or anything like that, and i'm definitely not trying to sound like an angry, bitter old man....which i realize i'm probably coming across as! :-) anyone else have thoughts on this? gothamist editors; i'd love to hear the story about this post, even if it's completely mundane and makes me look like a paranoid jerk-face

what does this have to do with nyc? Jeez, I don't know... it's from the "Brooklyn" kitchen, maybe?

If you live in BK and haven't checked it out, Brooklyn Kitchen is pretty sweet. Has everything you need, and lots of brands I haven't seen before. I'm crossing my fingers that things are going well for them.
