New York Times writer Amy Thomas spins readers through her bicycle tour of the haute chocolatiers of Paris is this week's travel section, buzzing her way through five arrondissements on a chocoholic's dream ride. Using the city's year-and-a-half-old Vélib bike sharing program, Thomas pedals through streets that seem like a "quaint Gallic village" rather than the financial and cultural capital of France. The truffles, pavés and bombes she consumes are pure porn to the devoted foodie, even those who temper their envy with the knowledge that everything tastes better in France.

Contrast that decadent tour with New York Magazine's In Season column, featuring a classic poverty staple: cabbage soup. Their Recession Special edition taps East Village institution Veselka for their hearty soup recipe, and makes a nod to the perennial dinner at the home of Charlie Bucket before he hit the Willy Wonka jackpot.
Let's read this as instructive fable: cabbage soup now could lead to a candy bonanza after — all it takes is a lot of heart and a golden opportunity. I wonder if Charlie Bucket grew up to be a factory chocolate man just like Willy, or if he just moved to Paris and settled in right next door to Michael Chaudun and his magical melting pavés.
