BRIAN'S 100 Best '18

100 BEST ’18: BREADSTICKS at ADDEO BAKERS

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2018…

You might think if you’ve tried one bread stick, you’ve tried them all. Not so. The ones at Addeo Bakers are hand’s down the best I’ve ever tasted. Even though the sticks are made from day’s old bread, there is something so fresh and intensely flavored in every crunch. They truly preserve the experience of their fresh loaves and have been for over 80 years. You can often find free samples of these out of on the counter, but you’ll want to buy at least a pound. Trust me.
