Went for the coffee/croissant today.
Coffee is free to nearby health care workers - I appreciate that. But, I also feel a little guilty accepting it. I can’t think of an industry that is being pummeled as much as the restaurant biz and yet their generosity never fails to impress the hell out of me.
Clearly, I am not the croissant connoisseur that @Chowseeker1999 is In Search of Crisped, Flaky, Buttery Croissants - Croissant Journey at Chaumont, Maison Giraud, Bouchon, Proof & Pitchoun
Still - I thought SaMo Tartine’s was fantastic: wonderfully buttery, shatteringly crispy and NOT AT ALL chewily bready. My pictures are so yellow tinted it looks like a curry croissant (if any of our great shutterbugs here want to tell me how to fix this, I’m all ears - it’s an iPhone 11 for fucks sake). I tried to show how greasy my left index finger was.
