Needless to say, despite the fact that I’d attract a thousand times more blog devotees, I almost never make culinary posts. Yet maybe I should. I travel all over the world every year and I actually do eat! After a multi-year quest, I’ve finally decided to take a stand on something: the World’s Best Almond Croissant. Having said that, I’m also sitting on the fence: it’s a tie between the Patisserie Daniel in Victoria, British Columbia (in photo above; the one I ate today!) and Renaud’s French Bakery in Santa Barbara, California. They’re quite different from one another, but each sublime in its own way. In both cases, the attention to quality and detail is always apparent. Needless to say, I’m angling for complimentary croissants!
