When additional information becomes available, we’ll be happy to follow up,” Publix spokeswoman Kimberly Reynolds said in an email to the paper.

The man behind Luncheonette and Luncheonette Northside, Brad Barzoloski, has just upped the ante. Capitol Waffle Shop, his latest venture, is open at 1110 E. Main St., reports the Times-Dispatch. “The concept is simple,” Barzoloski told the paper. “We put a whole bunch of crazy toppings on waffles.
