Ball Square Breakfast War Leads to Fisticuffs

Looks like the feud continues and has heated up a bit:

I predict detail cops will soon be a daily sight in the square. The next city fundraising effort will focus on tickets for blocking the sidewalk.

I don't get why people still frequent either establishment...I don't want any of those nimrods getting my money.

I'm with you!

It's those damn "No Place Like Homefries". They're like crack. I can't stay away.

since I haven't been since they all went crazy in ball square and I laid down the boycott hammer I'm not aware of these homefries...are they the mashpotatoey ones that soundbites had? Those were good.

Those are the ones. Basically fried garlic mashed potatoes, but oh so good.

Though I haven't been back to either place for awhile; the last time I went to Sound Bites, the BSC owner was outside his joint inviting people inside, saying "Come on in! No line, better service, better food!" when Yassir came outside and started screaming at the guy. Piss on that, I just want breakfast.

To me, they're crap - I want some actual pieces of potatoes, not mashed potatoes fried.

I love me some "actual" homefries too, diner style. But the "Ball Square style" homefries are unique and I dig them quite a bit for what they are :)

[pierceheart.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, they just completely miss what homefries are - it's like taking shredded potatoes, frying them, and calling them homefries - they're not, they're hashbrowns.

Granted, the name is very misleading. It'd be like getting a plate of awesome mashed potatoes when you order french fries -- yeah, it's tasty, but it ain't fries. I'm with you there.

I live walking distance to Ball Square, but my favorite brunch joint has always been The Neighborhood, which takes a bit more effort to get to since it's not in mine. Stuff like this reminds me why.
