PB & U: Going nuts over peanut butter

pbandu.com Opening within the next month in Wayne is PB & U (163 E. Lancaster Ave), a dining experience where your entire meal will be based around ... peanut butter! The eatery promises to deliver everything from the sweet (chocolate peanut butter fondue with pretzels and apples) to the savory (peanut butter with bananas and bacon on a slider bun). They'll also boast traditional "mix-ins" like jelly, as well as, erm, interesting alternatives, like pickles. I love peanut butter as much as the next person, but I have to admit I'm very curious about what that might taste like. I am also genuinely interested in the crowd this place is going to attract - pregnant women? Stoners? Incredibly imaginative children? It seems like all of their wildest food-craving fantasies (particularly the stoners) can become a reality with a place like this. You can drool over their extreme PB close-up pictures on Facebook.

[...] PB&U is a restaurant inspired by and based around … PEANUT BUTTER. We dig. [...]

And to think my kid's school went entirely peanut free last year because of the marked increase in peanut allergies in the younger generation.  Who knew?  The real question here is, are the owners of the store liable in the event that a peanut-allergic child comes within breathing distance of their venting fan?  

I love my peanut butter, god knows it kept my kid alive from age 2-5, but this store sounds just... gross.

Gross? That's a bit much. If you don't want pickles in your PB, fine, but PB & Jelly makes your stomach churn?
