This is SO awesome. This guy is so crazed! I had a reflex upvote when he jerked his face into the bread about 1/3 of the way through- i was LMAO for the rest of the video- and it actually managed to get FUNNIER.
Kudos to the producers for finding this guy. How could they have known what a PERFECT guest he would be? I hope that he has enough of a sense of humour to realise how awesome that segment was. He seemed right on the threshold of being "too serious" but it's difficult to tell how upset (if at all) he really was, and how much was an act.
"Kaplan's bread obsession has involved decades of research in bakeries, libraries and archives in France. He has investigated the history, significance and symbolism of French bread. He has written five books on the subject, including "Cherchez le Pain," last year's guide to the best bakeries in Paris, for which he applied his own complex rating system to the baguettes at 637 bakeries. In France, he is a television personality, a member of the French Ministry of Culture's Order of Arts and Letters and a gadfly who helped the new generation of French bakers reclaim traditional recipes."

Great clip.
An article about his writing/research--

WTF?!?!
this is a good interview
ROFL. I had to pause it I was laughing so hard.
But I will completely listen to the Audiobook if Kaplin is reading. (sniffsniff . . .taptap . . .copulatecopulate)
I like bread!
