Teddy L Patisserie (or, how chocolate croissants changed my life)

You know, I just get kind of T.O.'d when nobody has a web site for the BEST pastries in the WORLD: Teddy L, a chain of stores (or patisseries, en frances) which manufactures, no - conjurs, the most magical, melt-in-your-mouth flaky croissants and then fill them with Belgian chocolate, or whatever other filling of wonderfulness that you desire. I can seriously eat about 5 of these at one sitting, but only in Belgium, where walking is the only mode of transportation (if you're going to be scarfing magical pastries by the truckload).

And, in honor of this most excellent pastry shop, and the good friends who introduced Jaime and me to this temptation that cannot be fulfilled unless we fly back over the pond, Mimi & Luis, I am placing a tidbit about its magnificence online, and borrowing a picture from a willing web site.

Thank you, Belgium, and Mimi & Luis, for your pastries.
