eatible planets
i really wasn’t so sure that downtown LA had it in her, but seriously. Pam and i were on our way to Macy’s of all places, and passed by this fancy pantsy place called LOUIE. It is kind of like a small gourmet grocery like dean and deluca in the front and then fine italian bistro dining in the back. the place is huge as i am pretty sure it used to be a bank of some sort. the build out is beautiful, lots of white, it looks so pristine inside. amazing pastries, good selection of cheese, meats, butter, wine, confitures, moutardes, salt, sugar, bread, ya know? pate and little doo dads like that. nothing involving fresh produce, sadly. maybe soon?
well, what really made me come in here is the fact that right the glass door entrance there is a beautiful color array of MACAROONS. colin and i have a few places in our hood and our girlfriend ghislaine brought us back some from France one time, but the quest is still on and i think that i’ve come to the end and final conclusion – LOUIE makes a friggin “nasty” macaroon aka i’m blown away aka i’ll never taste another one the same way (almost positive).
i’ve been able to buy all 6 flavors at once and not really have a chance to sit down before i’ve finished eating them all. which is why i literally forced myself to save three (my favorites… for last) for a photo!
ABOVE FROM LEFT: coconut with REAL coconut flakes, tangerine with REAL zest in the filling, and chocolate with REAL salted caramel inside.
take that y’all. digest it and think if you’ve had the same? nuh uh….
Go to LOUIE!
