"I always return to Papa Haydn...which started on the East side as a dessert and sandwich shop, then evolved into a first rate dining establishment..."

Janie Hibler, Gourmet Magazine

"...So when Papa Haydn, in one of its new brunch menus listed Strawberry Shortcake as an appetizer, I viewed the idea askance, if not dangerous...But that was before ordering. An hour later, I would have been happy to eat anything in any order Papa Haydn suggested."
