This year’s winner, 28-year-old Anis Bouabsa, has a bakery in Montmartre and said he would need to hire someone to make the morning deliveries to Elysee Palace, proving that being honored can be both flattering and expensive. Not surprisingly, Bouabsa is included in the list of Paris’s Ten Best Bread Bakeries that Via Michelin just published.
I’m going to check out all the bakeries when I’ve got some time – and the energy to bicycle all over Paris, since not even one of the ten best is in my neighborhood. In fact, there isn’t even one in my whole arrondissement. Zut!
