Nightingale Bread

As someone who's lived in France, Germany, and Austria, I can say that Nightingale is on-par with or better than most European bakeries. Highest-quality local ingredients and incredible variety of bakes. My girlfriend gets raging headaches from virtually all American bread; but she can enjoy anything that comes out of Nightingale. We had a great conversation with the owner, who helped us consider that it may not be gluten sensitivity that steers so many Americans away from bread, but the highly industrialized US processing - including countless herbicides and additives - that renders most bread in the US tasteless and painful to eat. Thank goodness Nightingale Bread is here.

I’ve had a lot of pizza but this pizza was out of this world. The toppings were very good, but the crust was the best crust I’ve ever had on Neapolitan-American pizza. Definitely worth ordering. I had the spicy Rico and tried the a slice of the porcupine pizza as well. The crust was light and airy with a fabulously bubbly crust that showed an irregular gluten structure characteristic of not overworking the dough. The crust was charred perfectly to add an excellent smoky character. The care for grain was evident and the grain flavor was the star of the show when it came to the crust.
