Oh please do keep coming back. Your incisive and cordial contribution to the conversation was definitely worth the time it took you to type it.

This blog is a piece of shit that publishes nonsense daily. Melanie, I surprised at your outrage that Nick would report week (or is it weak?) old news. Nick, I’m surprised at your outrage over Melanie’s dickish comments. I haven’t read this crap blog in a month, and this is what I return to read. I suppose I should know better. See you all in a month.

And P.S. – that $7 bread is 2x the size and 5x the taste of any $4 bread at Whore Foods or Rainbow, i.e. it’s worth the price. I just wish they would invest in a fucking bread slicer.

Yes! Julien was my favorite when I lived in Paris. The rustic style baguettes would come out molten around 5pm. I would get a ball of chevre and a mini bonne maman up the street, sit down on the church steps and eat the entire thing. Oh maaan.

Tartine’s “bread” at this point is more like performance art than baking, the hoops you have to jump through (order 48 hours in advance, pick up between 5 and 6) is what he is mocking. I asked the head baker what was the deal with no bread in the morning, and he said “We’d have to get up at 3 in the morning to do that….” you know, LIKE EVERY OTHER FUCKING BAKERY IN THE WORLD!

La Boulange makes an excellent Epi by the way…

“White people, step in here really quick. Look, what’s y’all’s fascination with bread? Seriously? It really ain’t that good. It don’t taste like chicken. And, furthermore, it smells like a baseball glove. I’m saying y’all eat bread with everything. One time I seen this dude eating butter with bread. Yep, that’s it; homie didn’t even make a grilled cheese or nuffin’. Just butter and bread. Lawd hammercy.”-Clyde Singleton

It’s hyperbole, but I guess the underlying spirit is true. Tartine is average among good bakeries in every other city, but cult in SF. Source: I lived in Paris for a few years
