PARIS — What does a city proud
of its culinary reputation, but also

Unsatisfied athletes asked, ‘Where’s the beef’?

peak performance? It’s been a
tricky balance at the Olympic

But some athletes want more

Sodexo Live, the French com-
pany responsible for catering in
the Athletes’ Village and many of
the Olympic competition venues,
said Monday that it had adjusted
supplies in response to athlete
feedback and consumption pat-
terns in the early days of the
Games.
“Certain products, such as eggs
and grilled meats, are particular-
ly popular among athletes, so
their quantities have been im-
mediately increased,” the compa-
ny said in a statement.
Paris Olympics CEO Etienne
Thobois told reporters: “There
has been a reinforcement in ani-
mal proteins, with 700 kilos of
eggs and a ton of meat, to meet
the demands of the athletes, who
we place at the heart of the Paris
2024 experience.”
That means the food served in

being somewhat less climate-
friendly than hoped — after a

Landslides caused by heavy rains kill at least 109 in India’s Kerala state
BY A NNABELLE T IMSIT
AND A NANT G UPTA

Heavy rains caused several

landslides in the southern Indian
state of Kerala, killing at least 109
people, and rescue efforts were
underway to help those feared
trapped, authorities said.
At least 176 people were also
injured in the floods, which hit

Indian army, navy and air force
personnel and helicopters joined
the search-and-rescue efforts
Tuesday amid a continuous
downpour that destroyed whole
villages in the hilly district. The
office of Kerala Chief Minister
Pinarayi Vijayan said the “entire
government machinery” was in-
volved in overseeing and coordi-
nating rescue operations.
Amal Kabeer, a civil officer
with the Kerala police, said the
death toll is expected to rise.
Dozens of people are missing,
local disaster officials said.
Images and videos circulating
on social media showed sub-

blocked by boulders and man-

flowed through the towns and

the region.

grants? What if a Red governor, allied
with the president, tried to deploy his
National Guard across the neighboring
Blue state line?
Our players had no immediate an-
swers. Their counterparts in real life will
have legal advisers to turn to, but they
would be well advised to probe the limits
of their authority in advance.
Past presidents of both parties have
taken steps we would regard as authori-
tarian today. Franklin D. Roosevelt and
Lyndon B. Johnson used the FBI to spy on
political opponents. Richard M. Nixon
tested laws in his war with the federal
bureaucracy. Several presidents contem-
plated disobeying court orders. What is
new today is the potential for many
abuses of this sort to happen in one term.
Our participants assessed that the
guardrails that held Trump back in his
first term would likely not suffice in a
second. His party has been largely
purged of people willing to oppose him
openly. The president would have a
cadre of loyalists who know this time, as
one of our players said, “where the door
handles are.” He would appoint few, if
any, establishment figures like the ones
who bottled up some of his authoritarian
ideas in 2017. Resignation threats, which
at the Justice Department partly de-
terred Trump in January 2021, seem less
likely to do so again. Federal courts,
increasingly partisan, are friendlier ter-
rain for him now.
Even so, our exercises did not suggest
that any authoritarian would command a
uniformly obedient federal workforce.
No president does. No matter how many
career civil servants he succeeded in
firing, he would be unlikely to find
enough men and women who are both
loyal and equipped by experience to fill
the thousands of positions required to
carry out his plans.

Biles leads the charge as the U.S. women complete their quest for redemption
gymnaSticS from D1

Jordan Chiles, who also was

part of the Tokyo olympic team,
has trained alongside Biles as she
has worked her way back into
world-class form, and once Biles
made it through Tuesday’s vault,
Chiles said she thought to herself,
“Yo! Hallelujah! No flashbacks.”
What did it take to get here?
“A lot,” said Cecile Landi, who
coaches Biles. “It’s been a roller
coaster for the past three years
with a lot of good times and very
difficult times. So today is just
amazing.”
The U.S. gymnasts have called
this olympics their “redemption
tour,” with the team gold as their
shared goal. four of the five mem-
bers of this team competed in
Tokyo, and they all felt they had
more they wanted to accomplish.
Biles had the most high-profile
letdown, but even Sunisa Lee, the
reigning olympic all-around
champion, left disappointed by
some of the medals she didn’t win.
Chiles made several mistakes on
her sport’s biggest stage in 2021.
And Jade Carey won gold on floor,
but a stumble on the runway kept
her from vying for a vault medal.
After the chaos of Tokyo, Tues-
day’s team final was pleasantly
uneventful.
After Biles endured an injury
scare during Sunday’s qualifying,
the anxiety over how she would
perform here only heightened.
But with her lower leg taped, Biles
competed with her usual power
and precision. Biles, who said

St. Louis gooey butter cake is a sweet, nuanced dessert made for a crowd
Ditch the cake mix, and
try a recipe that recalls
the dish’s beginnings
BY J OAN N IESEN

Legend has it that gooey butter

cake was created by accident, at
some unspecified moment in the
first half of the 20th century in St.
Louis, in an unnamed bakery,
with an unclear set of ingredi-
ents. A baker lost his way — or her
way — while baking a cake. The
specifics of this legend have been
lost to time.
You might be able to guess
where this goes: The resulting
dessert was all wrong, but the
baker, pinching pennies, decided
to sell it anyway, and customers
thought it was just right. Gooey
butter cake — the legend and the
dessert — was born.
So what, exactly, is gooey but-
ter cake? I grew up in St. Louis,
eating it at potlucks and barbe-
cues and the occasional birthday
party, but for most of my life, I
had no idea how to answer that
question. Often, the gooey butter
cake I encountered as a kid was a
saccharine, dense bar cookie,
with a cracked, sugary top and
yellowish hue. But sometimes, if I
was lucky, I happened upon a
gooey butter cake that looked and
tasted more like a sticky coffee
cake, with two distinct layers: a
less sweet, breadlike base and a
creamy, gooey, honey-colored
top.
They were, without question,
two different desserts, and I al-

colder weather in the fall. While
the grandfathers of today’s
winegrowers may have
experienced two or three above-
average or exceptional vintages
per decade, that level of quality is
more consistent today. We
consumers can taste with more
confidence, without stressing
over vintage variation. There is
also growing excitement over
German red wines and
chardonnay. (The country’s wine
regions have also felt the flip side
of climate change, with
destructive floods in 2021,
drought in other years, frigid
winters and devastating spring
frosts.)
In march, I attended Grands
Jours de Bourgogne, a week-long
trade fair held every two years to
highlight that famous french
wine region. (English-speaking
attendees were asked to use the
french name rather than the
Anglicized “Burgundy,” which, as
a color, translates back into
french as “bordeaux.”) Effects of
climate change were most
evident in the north of the region.
Wines from 2022, a warm
vintage, were on display. Chablis,
where chardonnay thrives on a
knife’s edge of cool-climate
acidity, were riper than normal.

entrees daily, plus a salad bar, a
grill, a cheese cart, a boulangerie,
a hot bar, a dessert bar and a fruit
stand. All told, the olympic kitch-
en expects to serve 40,000 meals
per day for the Games. It’s a
unique challenge, especially for a
three-star chef such as mazzia,
who’s used to cooking for people
who live to eat, rather than people
who eat to compete. There’s an
added challenge for the Paris
olympic Games: france is re-
nowned worldwide for its cuisine,
so serving the dry chicken breast
and brown rice of athletic training
meals would be seen as a kind of
national shame.
“These people think of food as
fuel, that’s for sure, but fuel needs
to be fun,” mazzia said. “for me, it
wasn’t a question of constraint,
but of playing the game and think-
ing, ‘How we can bring something
joyful and fun to the athletes?’”
The way mazzia talks about his
menu for the athletes almost
makes it sound like a sport, one in
which he’s trying to perform his
best while also representing his
country to the world. “The chal-
lenge was to highlight the prod-
ucts of our local region, in our own
way — but above all, to bring in the
imprint of our kitchen to the ath-
