Really good, homemade bread is amazing, but doesn't really compare to
really great bbq.

However, throw in pastries, like hand-made puff-pastry, croissants,
sticky buns, napoleons, ... and now you're talking.

btw, this reminds me of that one episode of KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL where
the pastry chef (Xander from Buffy) and teh Fish chef (Harold from
HAROLD AND KUMAR) are having a contest about whehter customers prefer
fish or cake. The outcome was very funny...
