Wander down Witherspoon St. to the Witherspoon Bread Co.--owned by the same people as Teresa's and Mediterra--and you will find the almond and chocolate croissant ($3.85) I dreamed about in my last post. Almond and chocolate really were meant to go together--the light nutty flavor of the almond complements the deep richness of the chocolate. And the pasty texture of the almond meshes well with the pastry's soft layers. Although the Little Chef's croissants win best in town when they are warm, Witherspoon's croissants definitely offer worthy competition. My arteries might be screaming, "Less butter!" but it's totally worth it. [AUM]
