I first watched Jiro Dreams of Sushi about a year and a half ago as a random selection on Netflix. I had no expectations for the documentary, which profiles Jiro Ono, largely considered the top sushi master in the world. I figured, I love sushi and there seems to be critical acclaim, so why not …
I wrote about Macaron Day last year, and that wonderful day is back for 2014 and fast approaching. On Thursday, March 20, stop by a participating bakery from 10AM-6PM for 1 free macaron while supplies last. The event is organized by François Payard Bakery and is designed to coincide with Jour du Macaron in Paris. [For …
