Newcomer Clémence Danko of Choc O' Pain has brought french baking to New Jersey with two locations and support of Le French Week New Jersey. Recently, Danko was honored with International Culinary Center's Oustanding Alumni Award for Excellence in Bread Baking (April 2015). Danko's breads are sourdough based and an authentic representation of French baking. Based in Jersey, Girls On Grub visited and devoured the ham and cheese croissant- it was flaky, pillow-like bites of heaven.
