   Having bread for lunch because outside of San Francisco, you can have normal bread, like bread that is not sour

     I know I shit on SF bread a lot, but it just feels like Boudin and Tartine style breads (which I deeply dislike) are just one style of bread out of many. And they’ve convinced everyone that that is the only bread that can be called bread. That’s a bit like saying all beers should be IPA. I love IPA, but I don’t like sour and hard bread.

     I’ve recently had sourdough elsewhere and I am okay with it so it is definitely the style that I really react badly towards

     I also genuinely find Bourdin and Tartine terrible, but maybe it’s one of those things that people have fond memories of

     @skinnylatte I can't eat gluten anymore, but when I could I was surprised by how much less sour actual french baguettes are

     @Catfish_Man Today’s Tartine is also objectively worse than during their heyday

     @skinnylatte fwiw I first discovered Tartine at a party where I hadn’t been told what it was, so I think this is really just a case of different people enjoying different things

     How about the best sandwich roll ever, the "Dutch Crunch?"

     Well, one thing Tartine did well was "morning buns." Which really are pretty much a Bay Area thing, despite the fact that I think a lot of Californians think that they're a Californian version of a kouign-amann or something. They're really not, they're their own thing, and they're good. And I've never seen one outside of the Bay Area. Though I guess now that Tartine is a big multinational chain, they probably make them elsewhere.
     
     But, yeah, waiting in line for baked goods is a particularly San Franciscan doctor-it-hurts-when-I-do-this-ism.

     @skinnylatte I do a lot of bread baking, and I found Tartine's /cookbook/ insufferably difficult to wade through.

     @skinnylatte what about Dutch Crunch? I deeply enjoy it, but it also tears the roof of your mouth apart with its angry crunchiness
