Although I was born in Akron, Ohio (Crack-ron as I say), my family moved to Columbus Ohio when I was 6 years old. Growing up Jewish I feel like I was born a foodie.  Like the Ashkenazi Jew genes somehow seep into my palate giving me the power of taste.  That combined with my family’s (notice I said family’s, not mine) written abilities, this bread blog was a no-brainer.

Fast forward 26 years and I’m still in Columbus, well Dublin Ohio now.  I’m married to a wonderful man, and have a job in sales. This is my bread outlet, my crumb crusade.  Let the Rye rise, and the crumbs lie where they fall.

Let get this straight, this is not about me, it’s about you.  I’m simply here to help.  I’m just a Jewish girl from Akron Ohio on a journey to uncover the best and the worst bread services.

Whether it’s a high scale, full service swanky joint or a food truck, I’ll give you the ins and outs of bread service.  Why? The quality of the bread service is a great way to judge the rest of your meal.  It’s the gateway course to the main entrée.

A first impression only happens once, and sets the tone for the rest of the evening.  Bread brings people together, starts a conversation, is passed around and shared.  If the server shows up with stale bread the conversation might end up that way too.  

Naturally each restaurant, food truck, makeshift pop up restaurant, etc.  will have a rating scale. The crumb score is on a scale of 1-5; if bread service is perfect they will receive 5 crumbs, if bread service is poor than only 1 crumb will be given out.

The crumb scale will be based on the below factors:

• Presentation
• Bread Variety
• Quality of Bread
• Quantity and quality of spread (Butter, Jam, etc)
• Cost
