UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: Now, apparently this shit is on (according to @theessentialman). Whatevs, Chip Shop...I'm done with you.

UPDATE: Robicelli's tweeted me with the following update: "Called us last night and said they had a problem with the oil, so they had to cap the special to last night only. Boourns." I'm no fry daddy, but this makes no sense to me. Everything on the Chip Shop's menu is fried! So if they can't fry the cupcakes, I guess they can't fry anything else on the menu? Also what sort of "problems" could one even have with oil?? Chip Shop FAIL.

Ok, so after reading about, blogging about, and tweeting my fucking face off about the deep fried Robicelli cupcakes that were supposed to be at the Chip Shop this weekend, I was pretty bummed to walk my ass alllll the way over there in the freezing cold (forgot my gloves, went anyway), only to find that no one there had any fucking clue what I was talking about.

Me: Hi! I'd love to try some of your deep fried cupcakes!

Waitress: [curious blank stare]

Me: Aren't you guys supposed to have deep fried cupcakes today from Robicelli's this weekend?

Waitress: Uhm...no. I'm not sure what you're talking about?

Me: Wow, really? Everyone was writing about and talking about it. You're sure you don't have any deep fried cupcakes today?

Waitress: No...sorrrrrrry.

End scene.

You know, I was willing to overlook the Chip Shop owner trying to ban "predatory" ice cream trucks from the Park scandal, AND the Chip Shop teen tipping scandal, because...well...my fat ass can't resist fried cupcakes. But this shit was the last straw.

I'm not sure who should be held responsible, but someone needs to go down. Cause I'm WITHOUT a motherfucking Robicelli's deep fried cupcake in my mouth right now, and "eating fried cupcakes" was like the *only* thing on my todo list today.

Le sigh.
