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.
