joethefoodie Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I was curious, and maybe have found one of the better "French" baguettes being produced in NYC. At Le Fournil, nee Moishes. Very good and the one I bought came out of the oven only a few minutes prior, so was still warm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AaronS Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I believe you got bad bread there but I’ve been there dozen of times without that happening. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jesikka Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I’d certainly be willing to try again, but I’m on the Le Fournil block daily and near Winner a lot less often. Is it the baguette you get? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AaronS Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I’ve liked pretty much everything I’ve had from them, baked or not. the croissants are probably my favorite thing they have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jesikka Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I just looked at their website and it’s a sourdough baguette, so definitely not French. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seth Gordon Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 4 hours ago, joethefoodie said: Double Chicken, Please? 115 Allen street. ??? I found the chicken sandwiches strangely mushy texturally. Flavor… ok but they both read more exciting on paper than they actually wound up being. Didn’t come close to Saigon Social, as far as new chicken sandwiches from young hipster Asian restaurants go. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greenspace Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Mushy chicken usually means (over) brined chicken. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
