tenth slice

In one sense, the news is that I’m not one of the 2 candidates going to the final in Lyon. No more posts about pâté-croûte for now. 14 amazing croûtes shared third place, and the fact that I made one of them still makes me giggle in disbelief.

The winning entries looked spectacular (sadly, I didn’t get to taste either), and the winners were just absolutely the nicest people – it’s funny how much you find out about someone when you’re sequestered in a conference room together for 2.5 hours. I wish them the very best in the final.

That’s the news, but the news is just the tissue paper around the story.
