Two months ago I had a quick trip to Paris.<\/p>\n

\"Paris<\/p>\n

And now, I can’t stop thinking about a chocolate chip cookie.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A chocolate chip cookie? Not a macaron<\/a>, a croissant, or a lovely little tart<\/a>? In France<\/a>?<\/p>\n

I had good intentions in France, I really did. I went in search of a buttery, crusty croissant<\/em> or a pain au chocolat <\/em>with sticks of chocolate tucked inside.\u00a0That was my goal when I saw Eric Kayser’s La Maison<\/em> <\/a>Kayser<\/a> (<\/em>various locations around Paris, one in NYC, and in Asia, too),<\/strong>\u00a0but when I saw the chocolate chip cookie, I couldn’t resist. I know David<\/a> would have told me to get some bread (he talks a lot about Kayser on his site<\/a>), but I couldn’t fit a loaf in my day bag. :)<\/p>\n

\"Paris<\/p>\n

This dark chocolate chip cookie with walnuts<\/strong> has had me thinking about it since\u00a0\u2014 it was the perfect blend of crunchy and almost caramelized edges and the big chunks of Valrhona chocolate<\/a>\u00a0mixed in with what I believe were walnuts, or pecans. I believe it was also slightly salted though I can’t be sure. In any case it was incredible, and though it was only 10am I thought seriously about having another but I couldn’t dally.<\/p>\n

\"Eric<\/p>\n

The pain au chocolat<\/em> I picked up out of reflex? It was a pass…not as flaky and buttery as I’d hoped, and perhaps a tad undercooked. Thankfully I had an incredible consolation prize in the form of that cookie.<\/p>\n

\"Maison<\/p>\n

Perusing the Maison Kayser site I noticed they’re pretty much all over Tokyo, where I’m heading to later this week. Coincidence? Maybe. :) If you live in Tokyo or love visiting, I’d love some tips about places to eat – I won’t have a ton of free time but I’d love to explore a bit. Leave your tips in the comments!<\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s what I’m craving. What about you? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/strong>Check out some of my savory cravings, like\u00a0<\/em>Quail Eggs and Sobrasada<\/a>\u00a0from El Celler Can Roca or Fried Artichoke Chips<\/a> from La Boqueria in Barcelona.
