About this episode
Today is the first day of fall, which means soon we'll all be craving hot soup and a warm piece of bread. A recent survey showed Portland has nearly 5,000 bakeries, making it the second-best city in the U.S. for easy access to fresh-baked treats. Today we're revisiting a conversation about our area’s best bakeries with food writer, chef, and host of the “ Food Friends ” podcast Sonya Sanford. She’s sharing her picks for places you need to try, whether you're looking for a great loaf of bread, a massive chopped sandwich, or just a fun sweet treat.
