Old vs New: Brooklyn’s Best Iconic Foods
Old School: Juniors
Only three individuals have overseen the production of Junior’s famous cheesecake in its 60-plus years of Brooklyn dessert dominance, with one “master baker” presiding over the entire process. The resulting cream cheesy wedges will never be described as light and fluffy, but that’s a great thing. Real cheesecake—seemingly impenetrable, obscenely and fantastically rich, and utterly satisfying—is meant to sit like a rock in the pit of your stomach for the better part of the day.
