The opening really tickled me. “If you try to betray me by skimming”😂😂so real😂😂

This was delightful and had so many hilarious asides. I want to look up everything written by Caity Weaver now.

Do it! I’m so jealous that you get to experience her genius for the first time. Personally, I think her Gawker stuff is my favorite, with this arguably being the pinnacle.

THIS IS BY THE TGIFRIDAYS MOZZARELLA CHEESESTICK LADY?!?!

I was going to read it anyway, but now I'll do so immediately.

Her Gawker pieces were SO good. I still go back and read The Best Restaurant in New York is the American Girl Cafe when I need a laugh.

She’s a treasure!

She’s legitimately one of my favorite writers, but I’m never sure where she’s working these days. I’ve found everything she’s written to be a treat to at least some small degree.

She is one of the funniest living writers

a real tour de force about bread, statistics, america, celebrity pr, and family. i laughed, cried, and rued the fact that the atlantic seemingly didn't have the budget to send her to at least 83 more restaurants.

edit: spelling that escaped my hasty typing, smh.

Such a good article and now there’s so much bread I have to try

felt this deeply. i NEED—perhaps even medically—to go to dancing bear appalachian bistro immediately. 😭

After reading the opening and responding in my head the “best free restaurant bread is at Bertucci’s and they give kids dough to play with,” I felt very called out when she correctly identified me as a millennial from MA.

Dodie85 | 20 minutes ago

SAME. Kept thinking Bertucci’s and then hit that line and it sent me.

This article is fantastic and such a joy to read…. I guess I have to go to Philly to try this walnut bread now.

It’s the middle of the night and I’m cackling in the fetal position. I need some water after laughing so hard 😂
