Steubie Snacks make me happy in my heart. Since Thai Cockroach Palace is off my list, I think I'll replace it with another trip to Steu's. That lemon curd dessert needs my mouth to complete the circle of eat.

"The breakfast bierock -- also called a Runza -- for example, an old-world yeast-risen bread pocket that's historically filled with beef, sauerkraut, cabbage and spices. Here, though, it's bulked with scrambled eggs, red onions, scallions, bacon and cheddar cheese -- and washed with maple syrup."Isn't this just a Hot Pocket? It seems to be stretch to say that it is a variation of a Runza (which is a fast food restaurant in the midwest)..

Hot Pockets make Jesus soil his pristine robes.

1. The restaurant chain Runza is named after the food item runza, not vice versa.2. Hot Pockets are made with flaky pastry-style dough, not yeast-risen dough.3. So it's not a stretch to say it's a variation of a runza, which is just a stuffed bun. It's probably more accurate to say that Hot Pockets are also variations of the runza/bierock.4. And "just" a Hot Pocket? More food should attempt to attain the level of late-night drunken binge food (or early morning hangover food) perfection.

Hot pockets

A runza (also called a bierock, fleischkuche or Kraut Pirok) is a yeast dough bread pocket with a filling consisting of beef, pork, cabbage or sauerkraut, onions, and seasonings.I would not really call it just "stuffed" bun.. Whatever you throw in it makes it a Runza.. not so..

according to their website, I would say many of their "pockets" are made with a yeasted bread.

So yeah.. I would say it has a lot more in common with a Hot Pocket than a Runza..
