[FauxPas]

Serious Eats did an interview with @Baron d'Apcher recently. Very interesting read! Not sure if this has been mentioned anywhere else.

I wish they had told us if he is competing again in this year's Championnat du Monde de Pâté-Croûte, which I believe is being held tomorrow in France:

Edited to add: Well, @Baron d'Apcher did say in the interview that he submitted for last year, so I guess he would have mentioned if he was doing the same for this year's competition.
