It took nothing short of a three-appointment root canal to get me to try one of the most hyped foods to hit LA: Beard Papa's Cream Puffs. Because I was stuck in the house with nothing but beef broth and bag of carrots, a friend of mine brought me one. It sounds stingy, the fact that he brought me one cream puff, but let me tell you, this ain't no little choux puff. It's as big as a baseball.
Unfortunately, the puff didn't live up to the hype, at least for me. I thought the choux pastry was flaky and light enough, but there was way too much cream to make the thing enjoyable. I like a reasonable puff with a well-balanced ratio of cream filling to pastry.
Oh well, next up: Pinkberry frozen yogurt.
I haven't been keeping up much with what's going on in the dining underground, mostly because the idea of leaving an air conditioned apartment and braving the sweltering heat outside, even if it's from the apartment to the car, is just too unappealing. However, I did have to run out to the Japanese market here on the westside of Los Angeles, and I noticed something new.
