<title>Campitelli Cookies</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        This small bakery features a gallery of fresh-baked cookies and various packaging should you want to present a batch as a gift. The cookies, a secret family recipe, are thick, plump and generous in size. Take your pick: sugar, chocolate chip, double chocolate chip, candy-filled…the list goes on and on. The misfit cookies have aesthetic defects, but they taste just the same as their more appealing counterparts and sell for half-price. Campitelli also offers a selection of sandwiches, stromboli, and fabulous pepperoni rolls served with marinara sauce for dipping.<br/>Tags: bakery, cookies, campitelli cookies<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/1132597">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Al Amir Bakery</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        From OC Weekly:

Al Amir Bakery in Anaheim’s Little Arabia enclave attracts all sorts of eaters, but it works best as an old-style pizzeria, a place where young people step in for a quick bite and flirt. And you get them all—and more—here: Arab B-boys in white hats and untucked long-sleeved shirts crunking Usher from their Lincoln Navigators; little boys and girls darting around their hijab-bedecked mommy, fighting over the last drops of dough, the Middle Eastern yogurt drink; students poring over textbooks, waiting for their study buddy; men in suits stopping in for a snack before walking across the way to smoke at one of the shopping plaza’s two hookah lounges.

There’s not much yet in the way of lean-to counters and jukeboxes, but it’s no big deal: Al Amir’s primary draw is its extraordinary sphihas, what clueless food critics—me—describe as Lebanese pizza. In my defense, sphihas appear like New York-style pies, thanks to their thin, toasty, wonderfully crunchy crust. And the preparation is identical: cooks roll flat a ball of pita-bread flour in the backroom kitchen, layer it with the ingredients of your choice, and then shove the proto-sphiha into the small brick oven near the cash register. It’s ready in about four minutes.

Sphihas are about all Al Amir produces—no baklava, no hummus, no grape leaves and just one type of sandwich stuffed with lettuce, tomatoes, charred beef and nutty tahini sauce. Unlike so many pizzas, though, the flavors in these sphihas are intense and quite rare—this is only the second sphiha shop in the county after the esteemed Al-Sanabel Bakery. The cheese is Akawi, a slightly tough Palestinian strain that confuses at first with a salty coating but eventually reveals a luscious, sweet milk flavor inside your mouth. You can eat an all-Akawi sphiha, but it’s best when combined with meats—say, soujouk, the spicy beef sausage that’s the pepperoni of the Middle East, or the tart minced-meat spread lahmbaajin. Vegetarians can relish a sphiha sprinkled with zaatar, a zesty pesto of thyme with olive oil and sesame seeds that will pucker your palate. And there are more sphihas—seven in total. They’re the size of an individual pizza, yet impossibly cheap—the most expensive tops out at $4.50, while a fresh spinach sphiha is an obscene 99 cents. No sales tax!<br/>Tags: bakery, restaurant, akawi cheese pizzas, tabouli and kibbe, sphihas<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/1177013">Map this on Platial</a><br />

        While Bolsa Ave in Westminster is known as "Little Saigon", and Garden Grove Blvd in Garden Grove, "Little Seoul" for their Vietnamese and Korean food and culture respectively, Brookhurst Blvd in Anaheim is becoming informally known as "Little Gaza" for its Middle Eastern fare. 

Al Sanabel Bakery is located this area, dense with Arabic restaurants, bakeries and markets. The specialty of the house is a flat-bread pizza topped with a heady layer of pounded thyme or ground beef, the Lebanese sausage known as soujok, or parsley and mint-flecked white cheese. They're all around $2-$4. The kefteh kebab - a remarkably juicy strip of ground beef surrounded by tangy sumac-marinated onions and rolled in pita.<br/>Tags: bakery, middle eastern, al sanabel bakery, little gaza<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/233868">Map this on Platial</a><br />

DUMBO Tour, Location 2

Taste is actually composed of over 80% odor passing across our nasal passages at the soft palette in our mouths. People suffering from a loss of smell, or anosmia, almost entirely lose all sense of taste as well. The smell of such things as baked butterfat, almond paste, honeyed lime, fresh eggs in lemon curd and warmed cocoa are all reduced to textures and such broad categories as sweet, salty, bitter and sour. The unique combinations of scent are what render food delectable and unforgettable.

One of the most famous odor and flavor-induced memories comes from Marcel Proust’s novel Remembrance of Things Past or In Search of Lost Time. Most of our odor memories take us back to the first 10 years of life. Common folklore surrounding the link between odor and memory prompted neuroscientists to coin the term the “Proust Phenomenon,” after the smell and taste of the author’s legendary limeflower tea-logged madelaine cookie that sent him on a multi-tomed trek into visions of past memories.

But recent research has shown that while odor may not be a stronger trigger of memory than verbal or visual stimuli, it arouses a more emotional response and is connected to older memories. Smell is unique in its ability to directly access the amygdala, an emotional center of the brain that is part of the limbic system governing survival behaviors like emotion, appetite, fear, reproduction, the storage of memories and their relation to physical sensation. While a fear-inducing experience may only need a single association with an odor to set your adrenaline going the next time you catch a whiff of the same substance, positive correlations with odors take a much longer time to develop. More emotionally-arousing information increases amygdalar activity, and that activity correlates with retention.

Odor is also one of our most important sources of information about the external world, familiarizing us with what our home smells like and alerting us to whether something is wrong if it smells different. We form strong associations with odor through repetition. Although you may be smelling a bakery right now, it may not remind you of food at all. The grandmother of one Smelling Committee member, for example, used to wear vanilla as perfume. Whenever she made cookies, her husband would get an erection. The repeated associations of the vanilla smell with his wife’s body and sexuality led to a strong physiological and emotional response to the smell of vanilla in any context.<br/>Tags: bakery, brooklyn, tasty, smell, art, new york, odor, smelling committee, dumbo<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/2562156">Map this on Platial</a><br />

Odor is also one of our most important sources of information about the external world, familiarizing us with what our home smells like and alerting us to whether something is wrong if it smells different. We form strong associations with odor through repetition. Although you may be smelling a bakery right now, it may not remind you of food at all. The grandmother of one Smelling Committee member, for example, used to wear vanilla as perfume. Whenever she baked cookies, her husband would get an erection. The repeated associations of the vanilla smell with his wife’s body and sexuality led to a strong physiological and emotional response to the smell of vanilla in any context.<br/>Tags: bakery, pastry, smell, art, new york, nolita, odor, smelling committee<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/2568931">Map this on Platial</a><br />
