text: I just had to write about having another one of those Only In Pittsburgh moments at this Prantls in Market SquarennMy best friend and I had just had amazing burgers across the square at Wingharts and were making our way toward the cab stand at the Fairmont when we passed the Prantls Several weeks earlier we had gone to Paddy Cake in Bloomfield and picked up a couple of amazing Eclairs and since my friends mom had been quite wowed by the Paddy Cake eclairs we thought we would pop into Prantls and grab a few here for later I mean really what is to an eclair Flaky crust stuffed with custard and topped with chocolate Bakeries have been making them since long before Marie Antoinette supposedly said Let them eat cakennWe entered the shop and there was a small gathering of buyers in the usual inconsiderate stance of standing with their crotches pressed firmly up against the glass display cases I mean come on people you know what you want now back the hell up and let others look So we had to wait for the muffin tops and zanzibelts to clear the viewing areannOnce the butts cleared and we could see into the cases I looked up and down and left to right but did not see anything that looked like an eclair or even a creme puffnnEventually a rather short blonde gals head popped up from behind the counter and asked if she could help us I asked if they maybe had any eclairsnnThe girl looked at me puzzled tilted her head like a confused cocker spaniel and saidnnmmmmm I do not knowwhat is an eclairnnI stood there dumbfounded for about secondsand then said flatly umit iswellnever mindnnI could not BELIEVE that anyone in any bakery anywhere would actually have to ask what an eclair is with the possible exception of in Latin America where if it are not made with guava it are not a baked goodnnWe picked up a couple of creme horns which according to someone in another shop somewhere else in da burgh told me Pittsburghers like to call cannoli when clearly they are not I can understand confusion between lady locks and creme horns but CANNOLInnSo we paid for our creme horns went out to the Fairmont and hailed our cab home All along the way saying I cannot believe that someone in a bakery had to ask what is an eclair Only in PittsburghnnBottom line the creme horns were ok Nothing exciting Just an average creme horn Not too cheap not too expensive nnFrom now on we will definitely not only be going to a place that knows what an eclair is but that actually has them nnsighnnUPDATE Since banking nearby have tried a few more items Cinnamon rolls to die for Moist and tons of cream cheese frosting Anything else has been just ok but it is all WAY too pricey
