Tartine Bakery - San Fran 3




Tartine Bakery was by far the best food place in San Fran. We went there for Saturday brunch at 10am and the place was truly hopping. The hardest thing was to decide what to get because everything looked so good and smelled even better. I settled for a bread pudding, that included asparagus, egg, sun dried tomato and some tasty pig. Maybe I should mention that everything in the store is local slow food, a la Chez Panisse. Each ingredient is therefore full of flavor because it is entirely grown by nature in a sustainable manner (read no preservatives, no chemicals, no hormones, no antibiotics, just sun, air, water, and soil). There are no words to describe how perfect the texture of the bread was, or how piggy the bacon tasted like. I ended up going back and ordering a breakfast roll, their version of the cinnamon roll with a slight orange flavor. No one in their right mind should miss this place if traveling through SF.
