One of my very favorite things about the restaurants in Brendan Sodikoff’s Hogsalt Hospitality empire is the consistent excellence of the bread. OK, I’m not such a fan of the doughnuts. But the cross-platform enjoyability of the hearty sourdough batards at Bavette’s, the crusty grilled bread served with the bone marrow at Maude’s and Gilt Bar, the shellacked egg bun of the fried bologna sandwich at Au Cheval, and the fennel-sesame sourdough at Cocello all make me question why the company hasn’t opened a bakery yet.
