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.

Yassir is very sweet to frequent customers, hugging them, giving them free side dishes and such, but I've seen him scream at Mike next door for "stealing his customers", as well.

Both of these guys are creating an uncomfortable situation for their customers. I love the food -- the 'home fries', the waffles topped with fruit, the amazing benedict -- but damn, do I want to risk being there when one of 'em firebombs the other? I love your food, Yassir, but if you guys are going to douche up the square with a breakfast war, I'm going to the Friendly Toast.
