Fooparis baguette

Fooparis Baguette is a counter I want to root for, because a place that puts baguette in its name is staking a claim, and a real baguette is a tightrope: shattering crust, open crumb, nowhere to hide. I don't have a stack of stories to lean on here yet, just the appeal of a bakery betting on bread it bakes itself rather than a chain shipping in par-baked filler.

Until I've eaten my way through the case, I'll keep it honest and lean on the premise: walk in, smell the air, and let the crust tell you whether they mean it. If the loaf cracks when you squeeze it, you've found something. That's the whole test.
