00:00How far would you travel to try the world's first scroissant?
00:03Yes, you heard right. That would be a square croissant.
00:06Well, I booked a ticket and flew all the way to Oakland, California to meet Lenny,
00:11the 105-year-old starter living at the Clermont Club and Spa,
00:15also known as the White Castle in the Hills.
00:17Iconic, both inside and out.
00:19Executive chef Joseph Pear walked us through a day in the life of the renowned pastry program,
00:23rolling, folding, and shaping the dough before it's placed into these cube molds.
00:27As it rises, the shape holds. Then it's time to bake and voila, the scroissant is born.
00:32Flaky, buttery, 10 out of 10.
00:33Clermont's dining scene hits every spot.
00:35East Bay provisions for your morning pastries,
00:38and Bayview Terrace for classics like nachos and pizza by the pool.
00:41And finally, the Limewood for its fresh take on California cuisine,
00:45beautiful sunset views, and their tasty cocktails.
00:48Cheers to you, Lenny. You were definitely worth the trip.
