Season 2, Episode 3: The Ferry Building in SF
This go around I swung down to the Ferry Building on the Embarcadero in San Francisco. The goal was to hit up a pâtisserie called Miette, to try some of their Macarons (which is the correct spelling, despite my giving the sales associate a hard time – these are not to be confused with macaroons…). I tried the hazelnut macaron, the pistachio macaron and some sort of rose-flavored macaron. Pretty tasty stuff! Check it out!
The ferry building is great and the surrounding area is beautiful. There were lots of birds hanging around watching the filming of this one.

I’m with you, “macaron” can’t be right. Sounds like an insult, maybe a Spanish one. Anyway, that Rose one just had to be nasty — it’s like those lavendar chocolate bars, you ever seen those? I once bought one, it cost a lot, like around one million dollars. So I figured it was gonna be chocolate heaven. Nah — like you said, it tasted like soap. Body products have no place in food.

Hi Anders,
There is a difference between macaroons and macarons. Macaroons are made with coconut. Macarons are made with a merange-like bun with ganache in the middle. Easy to confuse. I like macaroons much better (i’d hide them) but would just share a macaron.
Also, I have an idea for your next snack attack. Lets discuss.
