90-Something Blogger ‘Cutie’ Is Seriously Yelpful

When the LA Times profiled 90-something-year-old bloggers Cutie and PopPop earlier this year, the writer casually mentioned that Cutie liked to Yelp. But as Cutie’s granddaughter Kim Cooper, of Esotouric, points out to us, she REALLY likes to Yelp. And she’s good too. If she had gotten into the game a little earlier, say, three or four decades ago, she might be giving Jonathan Gold a run for his money.

Here’s a taste of her recent review of Beard Papa’s:

It’s not easy to find a classic French cream puff. The American version is often too sweet and needlessly complicated. Here’s what goes in a cream puff: unsweetened choux pastry, a rich cream filling, and a dash of powdered sugar. That’s it! It was good enough for Catherine de Medici and it should be good enough for you.

My grandchildren introduced me to this Japanese chain with a funny name, and wanted to know if their cream puffs tasted like France to me. Since the closest store is only five minutes from my apartment, in Little Tokyo, I’d say they’re better than France. Plus it’s the perfect treat for your grandchildren after they play Dance Dance Revolution at the arcade upstairs, and I get hungry just watching.

What a delicious cream puff. What more is there to say? It is just as it should be, with no funny business. Apparently they do offer other novelty flavors to suit American tastes, but the classic, original cream puff is always on the menu, and it’s what I’ll order.
