I picked up some macaroons at bouchon this week, along with a TKO and the tuna sandwich… the macaroons and sandwich were yummy, and the tko… i couldn’t even finish it after 2 bites… i think i went into it with the same thought you did with the ho-ho’s… i was expecting something even yummier and delicious then an oreo, and that just cannot be…

Tina, thank you so much for mentioning my macarons on your blog, I’m very flattered :-)

About the pumpkin pie concrete that you got, does Shake Shack have that flavor everyday? I didn’t see it on the custard calendar and I’m on a “mission” to try good pumpkin desserts :-)

giz: I love Bouchon, too! I've written too many posts (27 or so - I know, scary) for this place already. mysweetestday: Thanks! Carolyn: I agree. I might as well get myself a bowl of whipped cream if I wanted that much. Gordon: Her macarons are divine! I can't wait for it either. Megan: Umm...I guess? I'm not too sure which you're referring to.

That Ho-Ho looks sooooo gourmet! But then, it is from Bouchon Bakery. I know what ya mean, though, it DOES look like an awful lot of cream. I, too, love cream. But do you want a giant mouthful of cream and nothing else? I think not….

stinkerbell: Nice to hear from you! I envy the fact that you lived in Paris (my dream to visit someday) and you LIVE near Laudree AND PH?! Waah…

Anyway, I do agree with you that Bouchon’s macarons are NOT real French macarons. Textures are off (they tend to be very chewy and almondy) and they’re humongous (the American portion size; bigger doesn’t always mean better).

VeggieGirl: Definitely!

M+Y: I have to backtrack on what you’re referring. But yeah, the Bouchon Ho-Ho looks very enticing but it’s a FAIL. :(

Kathy: I wish she opened her bakery/business by now! I’d totally be her usual customer. I’m officially addicted. Hahaha…

Tara: Yeah, looks aren’t everything but it does count a bit.

The concrete (or custard) is very good. This is the only place in NYC that we could get this stuff.

You’re welcome and thanks for reading! :)
