The closest thing we have to that in the West Coast are the Hawaiian restaurants associated with the King’s Hawaiian Bakery. 

I don’t know about rolls, but here in the midwest it’s apparently a law that all “Chinese restaurants” must have some of those lil’ bacon-wrapped weenies, which I assume are a traditional delicacy from many dynasties ago.

That’s what I was wondering. My daughter has a telescope and she’s super pumped to see if she can see this thing, but there’s zero info here on WHERE to look. In fact, most places only say ‘southern sky’. WTF does that mean precisely?

I suspect but have no way of confirming that the more working class/blue collar the area a restaurant is located in, the more likely they are to have rolls. I grew up in the south end of Warren, at 9 mile and Gratiot, at the time my grandparents lived in Detroit at 7 and Gratiot. Rolls were always provided at the…

Okay sometime on or after July 14, point a telescope somewhere at the sky. Got it.

“Never pay extra to sit next to your child”...by taking care of this when booking...

I implore you to read the story.

This might be missing a bit of the lore. It wasn’t just that people were demanding the bread. The owner of the Piantedosi bakery in Malden, MA, actively campaigned through Boston’s Chinatown, convincing restaurant owners that non-Asian folks expected bread with their meals. And they became clients, and word spread. So…

Oh good. I was hoping that children could get slightly less convenient to have aboard a plane. Now we all get to deal with the family of 5 at the gate who didn’t figure this out when they booked their tickets and wants to play musical chairs with rows 9-14 at boarding. 

Wait a minute, “Fuzzy patch of light” You mean to say you can’t tell us what part of the sky to look at?  have you ever heard of constellations?  Please fire this so called journalist!

Grew up in north central Mass. We always used to get rolls. As growing boys, my brother and I would hollow out the rolls and fill them with duck sauce creating an unholy twinkee.

Is it a Mass thing? I live in Michigan, and dinner rolls with Chinese carryout seem to be a thing at most places here as well. Here they are a very specific type of roll, they are very dense, too dense IMO. 

So, did you forget the how to watch it part? You said there is a web stream yes, but to do it yourself you go out and look for a fuzzy spot in the sky? That’s not really helpful.

I don’t care if someone takes all the pics in the world of the food that arrives on their own plate.  I draw the line, though, when people ask you to get out of the way so that they can take pictures of food behind a counter, or frame the food in front of a famous landmark that your mere presence is blocking (American…

Careful. Alerting G/O writers to the existence of human beings outside of the NY tri-state area could be too much of a shock.

In case anyone is wondering about that vague “6.15pm” time posted in the article without any time zone information, that is more precisely 22:15 UTC according to the Virtual Telescope Project.

Because there are many people who go to CostCo and just get the hot dog meal.

Lillian, just saw that you’re leaving The Takeout for a different gig — best of fortune to you, and thanks for your writing. Your “How Native communities are reclaiming their corn” article was one of the best food journalism pieces I’ve ever read.

The hot dog filler comes from all the people who dare suggest they raise the price.

Those are Moisture Vaperators and they collect water... or thats what I’ve been told. I’m not a nerd or anything...
