Seriously, you could be the first millionaire baklava tycoon with this recipe.

Thanks! I really do appreciate the compliments.  With me already working a full time job, plus part time at my dad's diner on Saturday & Sunday morning, it's a lot of work doing the baklava thing on the side.  But like I said, I enjoy it.  I know I could probably take it further and some how turn it into my full time job, but I'm just not really sure how that could become a reality.  This "business" is still only 4 months old, but I plan on trying to figure out ways to expand, which would include having a much better looking web site & possibly advertising.

You should sell it through your dad's diner.  From what I can tell it would be an instant hit.  I would buy some except the price is a little steep for me right now.  It's killing me though, I need to make a few hundred bucks appear out of thin air by the end of the year, and I'm almost there.

I actually have been selling it through my dad's diner as well, in bulk & single pieces.  No one there gives a shit about it, though.  York is like 85% old people, and old people unfortunately have no taste buds.  That's not to say I haven't sold any, but I've done much better online & locally through word of mouth/facebook/craigslist.

He should bake it in his dads diner, so his stove isn't sucking down the juice.  They usually run the ovens all day in a diner.

I do bake at my dad's diner probably more than I bake at home.  My dad's cool & is usually all done in the prep kitchen by the time I roll in.  I have more room there & can bake multiple pans at a time.  I'll be there a lot leading up to Christmas.

The other day, I was in a brand new church that installed an industrial-sized kitchen for feeding the homeless and whatever else churches do.  Dude, it was fucking balls.

Yeah, the Greek Orthodox church I grew up in has a giant kitchen, but that isn't for feeding homeless.  They do it to raise insane $$$ by having their Greek food festivals.  You should see the shitty baklava they sell there.  I was tempted to volunteer my time last month at the pastry section so I could hand out my own business cards to people wanting to buy real baklava.  ;)

Sweet.  I want to order some as soon as I can economically justify it.

Just ordered some.  Sounds delicious.  :D

Thanks for the order, Lance!  I don't ship Friday or Saturday because I want to avoid the extra day in the post office, but I'll send it out first thing Monday morning. Enjoy!

Rock on.  Even though I haven't tried it yet, I think I'll order up some more for extended family christmas gifts.  I trust BonerJoe's recommendation!

I trust his recommendation too, lol.  That's why I really want some!
