mess as you move inward, but at least it is homemade

Elizabeth's Comments: A mix of good and bad - lots of it, crispy in parts, but
has very little flavor other the grease…and a weird chunking consistency

Miro's Comments: Not much flavor, but a great balance of crispy and chewy
throughout
|

Elizabeth's Comments: A little floppy when you first bite in, it can't quite
hold up the pool of grease, but, as you eat, it's a pretty great doughy-chewy
mix
