Just 50 cent' worth: I (b. 1947) and my father before me (b. 1914) know bear claws as indigenous to Chicago as well. Certainly not exclusively West Coast. Most Chicago bakeries in my youth featured them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.115.255.2 (talk • contribs)

I agree, I have seen them other places than the West Coast. I changed the article to reflect this. - AKeen (talk) 18:30, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-03-23T18:30:00.000Z","author":"AKeen","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-AKeen-2009-03-23T18:30:00.000Z-Untitled","replies":[]}}-->

I suggest creating a disambiguation page for the various uses of the term Bear claw and splitting off the other uses into new articles, including a new one called Bear claw (pastry) for the subject of this article. This article could then be used for one of the other uses of the term.

Seconded, this format is inconsistent and inappropriate. --24.193.80.232 (talk) 00:52, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-10-13T00:52:00.000Z","author":"24.193.80.232","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-24.193.80.232-2008-10-13T00:52:00.000Z-Disambiguation\/Article_Split_Needed","replies":[]}}-->

Disambiguation not necessary, the true bear claw is never a fritter but always a pastry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.90.63.95 (talk) 18:43, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2013-06-28T18:43:00.000Z","author":"76.90.63.95","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-76.90.63.95-2013-06-28T18:43:00.000Z-Disambiguation\/Article_Split_Needed","replies":[]}}-->

The article identifies this as a breakfast food, but none of the four cited sources support this. In my personal experience, a bear claw is no more a breakfast item than any other pastry, which is to say, slightly more common at breakfast, but not inherently for that meal.

Reference to Panera Bread company version being high in carbohydrates and fats and low in protein does not add any practical, neutral information to the topic. Seems to be written in a negative slant against a company rather than an actual discussion point about the pastry itself. The ingredients are already listed above.
