I Have An Unhealthy Obsession With Baked Goods.

Baked goods and ice cream. And naps, but naps have nothing to do with this post.
This weekend, a mere three weeks before my wedding when I should be consuming things like grilled vegetables and lots of water, I decided to make a trip back to Jacques Torres. We were scouting wedding photography locations, and happened to find ourselves in the Dumbo area. You cannot visit Dumbo and not visit Jacques!
I had read about Jacque’s chipwiches somewhere recently so I decided to try one out. It was incredible. If I could find some way to keep these guys cold in a desirable displaying manner (meaning not in my parents green coleman’s camping cooler from 1978), I would make these the dessert of our wedding in a second.
These chipwiches have everything going for them. They are cold, delicious, individual packaged, unusual for a wedding treat and seriously the best dessert I have had all year.

Those look awesome. Death to my diet, though. BAH!
i’ve been a fan of jacques torres since his dessert circus days on pbs! i’m so jealous that you get to go to his store. i’ll have to search it out next time i make it to new york. that looks heavenly.
if you are ever in LA, you gotta try Diddy Riese Cookies in Westwood… only $1.25 for two yummy cookies & dreyer ice cream…
they look so yummy!!! *drool*
how funny! i just came from visiting jacques torres’ website to inquire about wedding favors! i guess great minds think alike - his stuff is amazing 
thanks for the tip kani. i have a friend in la i’ve been meaning to visit and that just may be motivation enough to finally go 
I was wandering around my work area today (new job) and there is a Jacque Torres chocolate shop on Water Street. I was amazed at all the chocolate. I was in chocolate heaven! but I didn’t see the chipwiches. I think that will be my weekly visit tho. =D
I would eat the cookies then take the nap!
Tristan, that is actually exactly how that afternoon went down!
