Flatbread Night

There is gravity to a good bit of bread—it carries a sort of sacramental heft that doesn't fool around. Great bread tethers you to your mortal coil—to your teeth and tongue and bones and blood and the all the things and conversations going on around you.

Pair it with nice beer, friendly people and some amicable herbs and vegetables and you pretty much have another reason to live.

This is why we have vaulted Mike "The Bejkr" Zakowski to the echelon of artisanal god. There are a lot of breads out there, but his breads feels divinely necessary.

And to boot, Mike is just really, really kind. We had the opportunity to join him at his home last month for some delicious flat breads.

Peter put together a little video of the evening. And we hope you enjoy! Please try Mike's bread for yourself if you get an opportunity. We look forward to a lot more from Mike as he prepares to represent the U.S. in the World Cup of baking in Paris this year.
