Hey guys, next game is 7 days away. I recall that for Kia Nurse's Homecoming game one of her biggies was eating some food from a Ca chain fast food restaurant. For Phee it was, yup, Ooey-Gooey Butter Cake, a baking mistake that became a St. Louis area staple. I've explored the literature of the food in question and still cannot get a real handle on what it is, except it's full of flour, sugar, maybe corn syrup, and definitely butter, the more the merrier. A modern variant pretender is essentially poor man's thin scliced cheese cake and pay it no head.
This heady concoction began it's life as a mistake in ingredient proportions in one of two bakeries. Yes, there is a contest in origin, necessary to any good food story. A St. Louis Original: Ooey-Gooey Butter Cake.
No matter, the concoction had me at Butter!
And there is a Philadelphia Butter Cake that is different but pugnaciously claims to be better.
