Gluttony tends to be a solo pursuit, which is one reason food writers
tend to have more knowledge than friends. No memorable high school
drives down to the lake, no going on tour with the Dead, no trips to the
All-Valley Karate Final — just an uninterrupted series of shameful and
solitary feedings.
"I think what's happening now with food is that we're working to find
standards," says Jim Lahey, proprietor of Sullivan
Street Bakery and chief pizzaiolo at his restaurant Co.
"Over at Sullivan Street Bakery in Hell's Kitchen, the
bomboloni, are filled with either vanilla pastry cream or raspberry jam,
but are of an entirely different breed."
"...we simply can't get
enough of the pure vanilla flavor and luxurious mouthfeel of the
bean-speckled filling."
