A quick chat with Wolfgang Puck
OK. When you're a food blogger and somebody offers you the opportunity to talk to Wolfgang Puck, you say yes.
Or in my case, you say something like, "OMG, Hell yeah! I'd LOVE to talk to him! <3"

Perfect Caramelized Onions
This is not fast food.
These are about as old school as you can get.

This croissant-donut hybrid has been taking the interwebs by storm over the last few weeks.
Created by pastry chef Dominique Ansel of the eponymous New York City bakery, this morsel has gotten so much attention that Ansel went out and trademarked the name. That's Ansel behind the counter, second from the right.
