Article: Traveling to eat

I just read this article on Yahoo....there are several good resources at the end of the article.

You know what's really sad? Look at the Chicago tour link. There are actually people who need a tour guide to lead them to Breadsmith and Ethel M's in Old Town, apparently.

Out of curiousity, where does it say where they are stopping? I looked al over the link and can't see it.

It doesn't say, but look at the photo gallery and it's pretty easy to figure out.

Yeah, and the write-up says, "A local chocolate lounge (est. 2005)." Technically true (just as any particular McDonald's is local, I guess) but that makes it sound ike it's Jean-Pierre's Atelier du Chocolat or something.

The chocolate thing doesn't bother me so much but the idea of Breadsmith being on a culinary tour -- it just sort of makes me shudder.

it's not bad bread -- certainly better than what you'd buy at Dominick's but there are so many better bakeries in town.

Am I too snobby? Possibly.
