Yassky on Black and Whites (Cookies, That Is)

We realize that we’ve been posting an awful lot about Councilman David Yassky these days, but we had to share this article from Edible Brooklyn, a new quarterly magazine that celebrates the borough’s food and culture. The editors found their way into Yassky’s refrigerator, and wouldn’t you know it, the only caucasian candidate in a racially charged Congressional race offers a short commentary on black and white cookies: “To my mind, Bergen Bagels has the very best black and white cookies. They’re chewy rather than crumbly which I prefer — although I absolutely respect people who eat them crumbly,” says the ever-diplomatic Yassky.
