I took the 6 weeks Caesar Ritz diploma course there and another week with the baker in the kitchen underneath the one you posted a photo of. I absolutely love them and plan to stop in and see what they are doing when I go over in July. Entrance in the back isn't that shabby -- across from Chanel and right by the entrance to the Hemingway Bar.

Needless to say I asked one guy had he been to Paris and he stated no, so how can he compare. He had never heard of Laduree or Pierre Herme - OMG - LOL. it was actually like eating baked egg whites with jelly between it, the foot of his macaron was hard, it was pure awful and some people were saying OMG -this is so good!, my went into my napkin discretly. Afterwards, the guy came over and spoke with me indidcating he had gotten the recipe off a website and he wanted to make it for Chicagoans at his bakery - NOTRobynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-12733405023208152022010-03-03T13:34:07.808-05:002010-03-03T13:34:07.808-05:00Your posting seemed so timely to me!
