cloudkai:
Is that sweet-tits I see in the background?
pwhodges:
I don't think so, though it's not impossible; I notice she appears to be wearing an apron, so perhaps she's from another coffee shop?
Actually, I suspect she's one of the occasional cameos that Jeph includes, but I've no idea of whom.

(American Born Confused Desi and Fresh Off the Boat). I think it'd it be interesting to watch JJ handle something different and more based on cultural clashes that happen within those people, rather than the continued handling of psychological and low self-esteem issues.

Are you an immigrant, or a member of an ethnic minority where you live? I am both, but I'm guessing you are not since you use the charming term "those people" :?, so with what authority exactly do you pronounce on what is "typical"? I am quite certain that Jeph has the good taste, and good sense, not to make jokes about an experience he doesn't share, based on second-hand stereotypes of minority/immigrant.
I wonder how Padma knows about the "oven explosion of '98", or what Ed was like before it? That is fourteen years ago, so assuming she's another twenty-something, she'd have been maybe fifteen years old at the most. Was it some kind of legend locally?
Skewbrow:
Agree with other posters. Padma is angling for a deal with CoD to become their pastry supplier. But surely she knows that Dora is the one calling the shots?
Anyway it seems to me that:
* tSB is first and foremost a bakery (look at that selection of bread and pastries). They serve coffee on the side.
* CoD is first and foremost a cafeteria. They serve pastries on the side. Location (near SMIF?) helps CoD. Also the business model based on sass.
We may eventually have a showdown between Dora and Padma (= the famous Northampton Coffee Party that will be in the history books two generations down the road). They can probably also peacefully coexist. An additional plus is that Jeph can then use the same pastry tray drawings at both shops without nitpicking complaints, if Dora accepts this business proposal.
A distant possibility is that Padma may be trying to recruit Faye to add some spice sass to tSB menu. I can't see Faye accepting, though.

Maybe The Secret Bakery is a family business and was run by her parents before her, and they've been doing business with Ed for thirty years. In fact, Ed is such a close family friend he's practically her godfather. Or something.
Also, and this is of no relevance whatsoever, I don't really care for Faye's new hair. She doesn't look like Faye, but rather a slightly pudgier Sweet-tits with brown hair and glasses.
I just miss Faye's ears.
