Cook - LPQ

Le Pain Quotidien means the daily bread. And to us, that means everything. It's much more than mere sustenance; it's a way of life. As our loaves emerge from the ovens, warm and fragrant, friends gather around our communal tables to share in the time-honored tradition of breaking bread. The hum of conversation fills the air, jam is passed around the table, and, ever so gracefully, time slows.Convive Brands is a New York-based hospitality group that builds and operates high-quality restaurant brands.
