In time for his final week as The New York Times’ restaurant critic, Frank Bruni releases Born Round, an unlikely memoir about making peace with food.
“In the book, you write about a good source of tartines near your place on the Upper West Side. Were you talking about Levain Bakery?
Yes, I live in Levain Bakery.
Their cookies to me are like kryptonite.
They’re horrible. I mean they’re great! But they’re cookie dough! I mean, that cookie is half cookie and half dough! I love peanut butter cookies, too. I wish Levain did a straightforward peanut butter cookie because they could probably do an amazing peanut butter cookie.
I bet if you asked them they would.
I would never do that.”
