It's on! Grab your striped shirt, beret and bike as we discuss the story of this long bread and all its price caps, regulations and thumpings. We get into the history, lore and economics of this Fantasy Bread of Equality with some steamy additions before we rock, roll and slash. But, whatever you do, don't call us Basic Baguettes!
