Judge Breadd

Restaurant critic/trial judge/Artisan Jewish Deli at Home co-author Michael C. Zusman bakes bialys with a reporter from NPR. In the intimate profile that follows, the author draws parallels between Zusman's day job and the art of baking: specifically, the ideas of patience, precision, and compassion. Zusman responds: "If those analogies exist, they're purely subconscious... But it actually makes sense. I'll go with that." [NPR]
