pithiviers

how nice of william grimes, food critic of the new york times, to deign to drop by jacques torres. yes, after torres has been open 2 years, grimes finally found the time to cross that darn brooklyn bridge! amazing -- did you know we have phones in brooklyn? and we don't speak dutch any more here either!

you'd think the times would treat us with a little more. . .oh, never mind, it's the times. new york for them consists of houston st. to 96th st. in mall-hattan. and since the vaunted editor howell raines has decided to turn the times into some weird branch of usa today (but with a slightly larger vocabulary), i shouldn't expect things to improve. . .

so grimes shows up and raves about the pithiviers. actually, jacques' pithiviers aren't that hot, but in all truth, i've never been a big pithiviers fan anyway. but the chocolate croissants; now those are to die for. not to mention the chocolate and fig tarts. . .

oh, and he does sell chocolates, grimes. you should try some!
