A Paris Legend | Lionel Poilâne

January 10th, 2008 by craigmc

Lionel-2

We recently found this in a file while doing some organizing. The sound
quality suffers, but we wanted to share this.

In 2000, in Paris, we were lucky enough to record (and hang out with) Lionel
Poilâne. He was very stylish in his very stylish office above his eponymous
shop. And what we learned from him was: fresh is best, keep all the good
traditions about food alive for the generations to come and don’t compromise
when it comes to good food.

He really knew the science of his business and he was very good about
sharing his knowledge. His daughter, Apollonia is keeping alive the family
legacy at the shop at N° 8 rue du Cherche-Midi.

Quel bon pain. What a good man.
