"Do You Know What Happens to a Butter-based Frosting After Six Decades in a Poorly Ventilated English Basement?"

We don't know the answer to that question, either. There was this one time when Dave Choi of Amitabul and Jim's Grill fame showed us some steak left in a beaker for a week, in an attempt to steer us toward vegan eating. It just made us order extra beef in our teriyaki omelette the following week.

We bring this up because of this article we read today. Bonnie Minsky, the President and Wellness Director of Northbrook-based Nutritional Concepts, Inc., has a mint condition 25-year-old cupcake that she shows to clients and at speaking engagements to highlight the horrors of trans fat. By now, most of us know the dangers of trans fat, but this is makes an even more convincing statement.

Wonder if Ms. Minsky's ever met Dave Choi?
