Megapopular pastry chef/blogger David Lebovitz was in town this week, and made a tour of "the spate of new bakeries and sweet stops that have sprung up in the last few years." The Paris-dweller and Chez Panisse alum said Belinda Leong's kouign amann at b. patisserie "were better than most versions I'd had in France," and he also had kind words for 20th Century Cafe's "excellent" knishes and Recchiuti's asphalt jungle mix, which he dubs one of his "all-time favorite things." "San Francisco has become a much sweeter place." [David Lebovitz]
