I feel like this is a lot like saying "news magazines such as the Economist and the National Enquirer." OK, maybe not quite to that extent, but they're not the same.Mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771645661678455102.post-22580326111687619362009-05-21T09:19:21.210-04:002009-05-21T09:19:21.210-04:00Someone brought Kickass Cupcakes to our house for ...Someone brought Kickass Cupcakes to our house for a party one day, and I tried one and I couldn't even get halfway through the thing! I'd rather eat a Hostess Cupcake than one of theirs!

My 2 cents on KAC - tried them twice, and they were only ok, at 2x the price. Not worth it for me.fully functional tastebudsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771645661678455102.post-39877253343240703112009-05-20T19:52:11.458-04:002009-05-20T19:52:11.458-04:00This was in no way an endorsement of cupcake produ...This was in no way an endorsement of cupcake product. In fact, we've reviewed several cupcake bakeries in former posts and Kickass came up last. Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion. Just take them for what they are worth and thanks for all the comments.The Boston Foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02592353791415974102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771645661678455102.post-63113410062826590912009-05-20T18:09:05.668-04:002009-05-20T18:09:05.668-04:00While I am absolutely no fan of Yelp, if people on...While I am absolutely no fan of Yelp, if people on Yelp do hate Kickass Cupcakes, I have to say this is one area of agreement between us. If the KAC folks would spend less time ego-surfing and more time creating cupcakes that don't taste bland and stale, they would be more worthy of the name.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08260936496069559838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771645661678455102.post-90220332899181770072009-05-20T10:38:22.039-04:002009-05-20T10:38:22.039-04:00Your rant about sites like Yelp and Chowhound...ho...Your rant about sites like Yelp and Chowhound...how is your blog any different?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771645661678455102.post-2532185445660430372009-05-20T09:46:02.355-04:002009-05-20T09:46:02.355-04:00While I totally agree that yelp can be ridiculousl...While I totally agree that yelp can be ridiculously and hilariously untrustworthy, there are some places that deserve the ire of the crowd.

Actually, we prefer almost anyone's over theirs.A Proper Bostonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10692465929307902698noreply@blogger.com
