Last Monday the San Francisco Chronicle published the results of its Sourdough Tasting Contest. The undisputed winner was Boudin Sourdough French. Oddly, you can order Boudin sourdough frenh bread by mail. When my chorus was singing at their Fisherman's wharf bakery (it's a LONG story) I picked up an order form. There is a long list of states and how much to pay that I won't type in; I won't reproduce the entire form either lest this be construed as advertising. You can get either a box of six one pound loaves, or the "famous 49er Gift Assortment" for 15-20 or 21-26 dollars, depending on how far they have to ship it. Apparently it is USA only -- something about food export laws. I hope I get the distribution of this note right. Anyway, you can write to Fisherman's Wharf bakery 156 Jefferson Street San Francisco, CA 94133 for complete details. Bread is shipped air freight once a week. I do not work for or own stock in any bakery at all. -- Berry Kercheval Zehntel Inc. (ihnp4!zehntel!zinfandel!berry) (415)932-6900

Bread is shipped air freight once a week. Boudin is my favorite sourdough bread from San Francisco; I'm glad others agree. What you may not know is that there are Boudin Bakeries in (at least) the Chicago area, where there are four. The prices and the bread seem to be the same as the San Francisco-bought stuff, at least I can't tell the difference. There are stores near the Chicago watertower (E.Chicago St), somewhere on Michigan avenue (I think), and Woodbridge Mall -- check directory service. I never go to Chicago without bringing some home...
