I wanted to check out Bread & Cie on 5th Ave today, to buy a loaf of their artisan bread. They had caprese on what looked like whole wheat pizza dough, but turned out to be pastry. Of course, we’re talking about olive oil on cheese on butter, and of course it was good. I would have passed on it if I knew what it was, but I didn’t kick myself over it. I didn’t eat the edges of the pastry. I almost never eat anything like this.

Unless a health-conscious chef puts a vegan-oriented item on the menu, things that “look” healthy really aren’t. Which makes complete sense, because you’re not going to sell much vegetables out of the pasty display case.
