@NinaBernstein1@cendawanita The NYT as usual wnt let fact checking get in the way of a good pitch. It’s the best baguette “in Paris”, not “France. Judging baguettes on the same day from across the country would be a nightmare. Élysée not paying? As any business, you’d expect them to pay monthly. There was a lot to show here: how many bakers actually are immigrants? The fact he chose to stay independant. He’s in a poorer area of Paris. Interviewing the guild who DIDNT invite him …
@cendawanita@Seishonagon Aw, c’mon — it’s a column by Riger Cohen, not a dissertation. These are quibbles, not serious deficiencies. And yes, you can revive day-old or even days-old baguette, but it will never be as good as the morning it’s baked.
@NinaBernstein1@cendawanita inconsistently playing fast and loose with reality about places I do know … How am I to trust the NYT about places I don’t know? It may be a quibble, but it’s also a pattern. (We do agree on baguette, though)
