Meg Wins

I humbly accept my defeat at the hands of Meg in our Torchon Tournament. Our judge (and co-author of the book that featured the recipe) Michael Ruhlman says that while I produced “a very nice torchon,” Meg’s “appears to be exquisite.” The only thing that gives me comfort is that we both maintained our dignity throughout this ordeal. Congrats, Meg!
