Sugar Rush: Chocolate Walnut Brownie at Bouley Bakery

I was so sure that my craving for something chocolatey, fudgy, and full of walnuts would be satisfied after the cookie I had at Payard Patisserie. But unfortunately, the combination of chocolate and walnuts has this uncanny ability to make me desire the goods even more. In other words, consuming the object of wonder does little to satiate a craving—the more I eat, the more I crave.
I entered Bouley Bakery in Tribeca not quite knowing what I wanted, though faint images of cookies were floating though my mind. I browsed, oohed and ahhed, and then stopped dead in my tracks upon the sight of baskets filled with their dark chocolate brownies...with walnuts! So many walnuts. Losing all interest in looking any further, I declared the brownie my own and devoured it before reaching the front door. Sinking into bite after bite, I found the brownie to be dark with cocoa, yet texturally light and lush. Hovering on the cakey end of the spectrum and less sweet than I expected, walnuts were in abundance, and I ended up consuming the rather large treat without the slightest bit of hesitation.
