"In a city of institutions, history, and prestige, visit century-old Fitzbillies for a taste of culinary renown. To get even more granular, visit for the Chelsea bun, whose syrupy folds of dough, punctuated by currants, are unmissable. The bun, and the bakery that makes it, were salvaged from permanent closure by Alice Wright, Tim Hayward, and head baker Gill Abbs in 2011. Despite the owners’ desire to keep the traditional bun alive, they’re willing to do evil to the original recipe in pursuit of the common good, like turning a Chelsea bun into French toast and slapping bacon on top of it." - James Hansen
