That’s $4 too much

I enthusiastically agree! I always order extra when I’m there.

Warrior: I agree with the buckwheat sourdough bread at Bavel.
At Kismet, I love the malawach bread, which is like a buttery laccha paratha. But I usually end up getting their (also very good) Bub & Grandma’s seeded bread because it is lower calorie.
Providence breads of course, most notably the seaweed bread.
Regarding the bing at Majordomo, I agree with the OP – totally underwhelming. I’ve bought frozen Indian flatbreads that taste similar.

Oh that reminds me – the malawach at Bavel is also great.

Warrior: Yes, the malawach at Bavel is great too. I just forgot about it. For that matter, Bavel’s pitas are also very good.

One has to go Bavel edition: Buckwheat Loaf, Malawach, Pita, or Fried Pita

Byblos in La Crescenta does a good, fresh pita bread.
some of the most overrated bread/carb I had was at Lodge Bread Company. Tremendously bland, too much bread/sandwich ratio and not worth it whatsoever. Very disappointing.
The bread at Holbox w their seafood stew was top notch though.
I have not tried sandwiches from Lodge. Their bread on its own is amazing.

Other people have complained here that Lodge’s avocado toast was too thick.
How many times do you need to eat first-rate artisanal bread before you figure out that you should stop ordering it?

Haven’t had it since shortly after they opened, but I personally thought it was freq too burned. And I normally like a bit of char.

Do you mean pizza?
All the bread I get from them is always pretty perfectly baked.
I was actually disappointed with Holbox’s bread that accompanied their seafood stew. It was ok but almost an afterthought, cut in oddly thick slices and not 100% fresh. Seafood stew was great, though.
You ding bread that I really like and praise bread that I think is meh. If you do that consistently then you and I can serve as helpful barometers for each other.

Bari’s tomato focaccia was fantastic, though so filling I’d have to think about what else to order.
Some really good heavy hitters listed here. Will add Ardor’s milk bread with tomatoes.
Disagree completely. Their pizza was mediocre as well.
“first rate”? LOL not at Lodge.
There are plenty of breads at the local farmer’s markets that are absolutely astounding to get. Lodge is a nice try, but as someone else mentioned it had this burnty taste that is absolutely ridiculous for being known for “bread”.
The bread at hotbox worked as a perfect accompaniment to the seafood stew. My bread slices weren’t noticeably thick whatsoever.
