  "story": "Names for it are regional. Long John runs through the Midwest, Canada and Texas; the Mid-Atlantic and central Canada market it as an éclair, though an éclair is choux and this is yeast; the West Coast says bar, and specifies: maple bar, chocolate bar, filled bar. Parts of the Midwest say finger doughnut, or cream stick when filled."
