"people think since they are throwing down more money, the food is automatically healthy." Do people really think that? Anyway, the amounts of ingredients used in this recipe aren't all that outrageous. Yes, it's a stick of butter.. but that's for two whole crusts. A serving is one slice.. maybe 1/2 TB of butter? Some people put more than that on their bread.

I hate to draw attention away from this recipe (which looks delicious) but i'm not quite sure why fast food restaurants are being forced to display caloric information, while sit-down restaurants are exempt. this recipe alone uses a stick of butter, two cups of sugar, three eggs and a cup of heavy cream. recipes like this are used throughout NYC's kitchens, yet people think since they are throwing down more money, the food is automatically healthy. NOT SO, FRIENDS!
