I'm still under 50 and my husband and I see it often -- it seems to be on a lot on the weekends. And half the time we see a place that looks interesting and then we hear where it is and say that we're probably never going there.

Wow, really? How do you know?

Anyways, i'm surprised the brothers haven't aged after all these years.

Someone above mentioned Flour's Boston Cream Pie as great; it truly is.

It's a loaf shape, and a slice is about $5.95.

Oh! Forgot to mention their superb banana nut bread! Available most of the time. It's not dry unlike some other renditions elsewhere..

Me too. Haven't seen them recently, but I was alive 10 years ago. I can understand those in their 20s not being familiar.

I'm well under 50 and I know what it is. I haven't watched it in probably a decade because I don't have lazy weekend mornings to waste anymore though.

I see the Andelman brothers from time to time as they all live in Needham and Wellesley now.

This is my sense of the situation as well although I've discovered some really fantastic restaurants over the years in watching the show that I probably wouldn't have known about otherwise.

Last time at Flour I had a biscuit and homemade butter that tasted like an angel ejaculated in my mouth. Can't stop thinking about it.
