And more Jilly's news...cupcakes and brisket are coming to Des Peres, Missouri! Cupcake bakery expansions are a great thing to hear about with this economy, and what a crazy combination. Their original location has a Sunday brunch bar and cafe menu (and I've been there and their cupcakes were delicious) which I think is a good strategy because at a certain point when you've eaten lots of cupcakes, you do start to crave non-sugary foods (well, most people do). From Riverfront Times blog Gut Check:

​The cupcake-chef tag team also announced that a second location of the cupcake shop -- in the Colonnade Center shopping plaza (on the south side of Manchester Road a block east of West County Center in Des Peres) -- will open January 20.

The new store will be geared mostly toward to-go items, but like the Delmar Jilly's, the Des Peres model will showcase brisket. In fact, a "Brisket Bar" will offer made-to-order brisket sandwiches with more than 30 toppings to choose from.

Thursday's event featured a brisket station, as well as tubs of margaritas and a selection of Fat Tire and O'Fallon Brewery beers.

"We like to consider ourselves the Five Guys of brisket," Shiller quipped.
