Anti-Atkins Post
No I'm not going to come out against the Atkins Diet. But I love bread. I mean I LOOOOOOOOOVVE bread. I'd walk around in a bread suit if I could. It's how I judge whether or not a restaurant is any good... the first thing I always try is the bread.
I heard this story on NPR about this most incredible bread maker. It makes me want to buy the hell out of this book (Cherchez le Pain -- the 100 Best Bakeries in Paris). It's such a subtle art... I don't know why more people in America don't get it. The most disgusting bread? The white, super dense, soft crust crap they serve and call it a "baguette". The best? HARD crust, chewy, sour, moist to the point you think it's been sprinkled with water. Oh man, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.
