Longtime regulars of the Bakery will notice that our crusty artisan breads have become especially amazing as of late. In July, Alex Ruch, previously a baker at
Bellegarde Bakery in New Orleans, came on with us here. He actually baked with me back in the days when I ran the
Berenbaum's bakestand. He left for a post-doc at Tulane in 2012 and I was trying to recruit him back pretty much as soon as left. His bread has made a huge step forward for NSB's quality, and I am extremely proud of him with every bake. We have gained new wholesale customers as a result of these fine breads, and we will be looking to add on more in the months to come.

He looks really creative and that bread sure looks great. Would love to try it in real haha. Amazing baking talent that guy has. He'll go far in this.
