Boudin is my favorite sourdough bread from San Francisco; I'm glad others
agree.  What you may not know is that there are Boudin Bakeries in (at
least) the Chicago area, where there are four.  The prices and the bread
seem to be the same as the San Francisco-bought stuff, at least I can't
tell the difference.  There are stores near the Chicago watertower (E.Chicago
St), somewhere on Michigan avenue (I think), and Woodbridge Mall -- check
directory service.

I never go to Chicago without bringing some home...
