Clark Street, which Mr. Hall founded in 2014 and operates out of a stall in Superba Food and Bread featured in the New York Times’ article downtown’s Grand Central Market, is one of several bakeries that have helped By Rebecca Flint Marx March 7, 2018 greater Los Angeles emerge over the past few years as an unlikely bread “Los Angeles, Once Gluten’s Heart of Darkness, Emerges as paradise. In kitchens from Venice to Pasadena, bakers are milling their own ﬂour, experimenting with wild yeasts, fermentation, and ancient grains, and turning out loaves that rival those in New York or San Francisco. And outsiders have Bread Paradise.” taken note: this summer, San Francisco’s vaunted Tartine Manufactory (https://rowdtla.com/collective/tartine‑bakery/) will open an Arts District outpost.

3/14/2018 Los Angeles, Once Gluten’s Heart of Darkness, Emerges as Bread Paradise - The New York Times “There’s deﬁnitely a generation of people who went through really good training and then trained each other,” said Roxana Jullapat. She and her husband, Daniel Mattern, are the baker and chef, respectively, behind Friends & Family (http://www.friendsandfamilyla.com), an airy Thai Town spot that opened in 2016. Ms. Jullapat’s sprouted‑wheat sandwich bread is one of the menu’s highlights; another is her rye chocolate cookie. The availability of different grains, a relatively new development in the growing heirloom grain movement, “has totally changed the game” for Los Angeles bakers, Ms. Jullapat said.

Last spring and fall, over the course of two crawls through the new crop of bakeries in the Los Angeles area, I encountered loaves as distinct as the bakers that produce them. In Venice, I found Anton Steiner’s excellent sourdough toast and Nutella croissants at Superba Food + Bread Fruit‑Nut bread at Friends & Family, one of several bakeries helping the Los Angeles area emerge (http://www.superbafoodandbread.com), an industrial chic bakery‑restaurant as a bread haven.

And, most significantly, it hints at the pop sensibility and realness that inhabits their spaces.”
