Fauchon

Paris, France (The Joy of Food) — Of all the grand food emporiums and legendary patisseries of Paris, none is more grand or legendary than Fauchon. Fauchon is glam gourmet at its Parisian hot-pink finest. It might not look it today, but this all began in the 1800’s as a […]

San Diego, CA (The Joy of Food) — You can take the girl out of Naples, but you can’t take Naples out of the girl. I knew Caffè Calabria was legit the first time I stepped inside and the scent in the air was a swirling mix of coffee, coal, […]

Purebread

Vancouver, Canada (The Joy of Food) — I always judge a bakery by the quality of its croissants. They’re ubiquitous, and I can’t say no to a stick of butter first thing in the morning. Walking in to Purebread, you’re immediately witness to a mile-high pile of carb-laden goodies that […]

Los Angeles, CA (The Joy of Food) — A trough of cheese is the happiest of lunches for me, but some accompanying tapenade, pestos, vegetables, and salumi can make the meal more well-rounded. They use the good stuff here. Obicà achieved a small reputation as the world’s first mozzarella bar […]

Pizzarium

Rome, Italy (The Joy of Food) — If Italy has a modern-day Michelangelo, it would be the man behind the curtain at Pizzarium: Gabriele Bonci. Bonci, known for his light-as-air crust and his complete disregard for toppings of the traditional kind, makes sure his dough undergoes a 72-hour rising process. […]

Enriqueta’s Sandwich Shop

in Carbapalooza, Comfort, Cuban, United States, Miami, FL 0 comments

Miami, FL (The Joy of Food) — Perhaps the most famous of Cuban sandwiches is the Cubano, a layered crunchy yet soft pile of stuff pressed down to the size of a pancake. The Cubano is everything you could want between two slices of bread: generous layers of garlicky crisped […]
