Bien Cuit
French for Well Done, Bien Cuit celebrates those dark, dramatic crusts that are becoming more and more popular. The bakery and café opened in summer 2011 on Smith Street, has since opened two additional locations, and made its way onto countless “Best of” lists: One of the best bakeries in Brooklyn, according to Lucky Peach—and in all of New York City, according to Time Out Magazine. The perfect baguette, according to The Food Network. Best croissant, according to Grub Street. And one of the best baguettes in the country, according to Bon Appetit. Whew. Surprisingly, my favorite thing was none of those. It was the pecan blondie, with a crackly top and nutty, chewy crumb.
