DonRocks Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I've been talking with Mark Furstenberg about giving a tour of Breadline - the facilities, the equipment, and going over the process of how his bread is made. The best times to do this would probably be when they're closed, on a late Saturday or Sunday morning, and then everyone could caravan somewhere else and have brunch. I suggested to him that people could donate a nominal amount ($5, $10, whatever) to one of his favored charities (perhaps NPR), rather than paying him, and he's happy to do this. Is there interest? It seems to me like there would be, but I thought I'd float it for general discussion. Cheers Rocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giant shrimp Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 pieces of me are interested, though i am not always available. (sometimes people are looking for me, and i don't know what to tell them.) but a behind-the-scenes look at the set-up over there would be worthwhile, i would bet, for a large delegation from this group.

Their fabUUUlus! Anyways, a group of us - like, probably 80-100 - are looking for a downtown spot for an impromptu brunch. Has to be walking/Metro distance from Breadline, feature seasonal and regional ingredients, and under ten bucks pp. Any help?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm chen Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I'm sure there will be some attending the tour who prefer to opt out of brunch... guess there will be some complicated calculations down the line.

Stretch Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Too bad Furstenburg will likely not be able to make it after all, as he is scheduled to make up a foursome that morning at Burning Tree with Mssrs. Wabeck, Power and Pangaud. You may be assured that a well-trained underling will, however, conduct the tour almost as well as he would have in person. Attendees may bring their own cake and/or breast milk, provided it be served at room temperature. No Segways or Russian chicks, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
