Gail Simmons recently returned to Paris for the first time in a decade and (helped in part by your Twitter suggestions) ate her way through the city. She named the sweetbreads at Spring and Frenchie’s cod with smoked eggplant as two of her favorite Paris tastes. But what else did she put in her mouth?

- Adam continues fighting the good fight by reviewing croissants from Bread & Roses (which may have trumped his former favorite from Des Gateaux et du Pain), Poilâne (“a notch above really good”) and Eric Kayser, which serves a croissant with “good internal structure that provides a more than satisfactory mouth-feel.” To contribute to Adam’s continued mouth well-feeling, you can offer suggestions in our discussion forum about which croissant he should digest next.
