The Hunt for the Best Free Bread in America
Episode 2178
Published 22 hours ago
Description
Free bread for the table used to be a staple of most restaurants across America. But increasingly, restaurants are charging customers for the bread baskets that used to be a symbol of good hospitality. Caity Weaver, a writer for The Atlantic, went on a journey around America to find the best free bread still available to restaurant-goers, and to investigate why complimentary bread and butter has become increasingly rare. Weaver discusses her piece "I Found It: The Best Free Restaurant Bread in America," plus listeners share their favorite free restaurant bread in the city.
