I always wondered how much money the Hubigs people scammed from folks with that sale. Has anyone thought of trying to reclaim that cash?

Wasn't there some type of dispute between the family members about how to move on from the fire?

Apparently they agreed to solve the dispute by screwing all of the paying customers out of their pre-sale money.

Just had an apple one and I must say I like it better than Hubig's. It's not as sturdy but it didn't fall apart.

My fiancee bought me a lemon. It was good. I miss the little bit of flavor the frying added, but it's still very good.

This is motherfricking blasphemy. The pieces of shits are baked. Hubig's were fried in lard. Get the shite out of my NOLA.

They even look terrible.

Now, now Arse. Don't go getting your arteries all tied up in a knot. Had a lemon one, and while different from Hubig's, it was damn tasty. Prefer Hubig's crust, but much prefer Haydel's filling.

I'm near lakeside mall so figured I'd stop at Fleurty Girl and pick up some of these. Line of about 20 people waiting for them to open right now. I'll try and pick up one of each flavor and report back.

I think they are only offering apple and lemon today.

My thing is...they knew this was going to be a huge launch. They knew people were interested. Why not make way more? They were sold out before 11 yesterday. That's just ridiculous to me, considering it has been hyped for over a week...

ETA: Some people on Facebook mentioned they bought as many as 6 dozen. Haydel's/FG should have made a "limit 4 per customer" rule or something.
