San Francisco: Le Marais
Working at one of the best (I'm trying not to be biased here...) bean-to-bar American chocolate companies, certainly had its perks. For one thing, it was an excuse to discover the hippest joints, meet top chefs, and of course, eat the most delectable desserts. That coupled with my mission to find San Francisco's best pastries, landed me squarely in front of Le Marais one morning, at 7am before work. Some people might call me crazy. I like to think it's just dedication to my work...
