Bellegarde Bakery
Today's episode is all about bread. More specifically, it is about one man’s passion for bread and changing the way we think about it.
My guest today is Graison Gill, an artisan in the truest sense. He’s a baker of bread in a city known for po-boys, but that’s not his story.
Graison is the founder of Bellegarde Bakery here in New Orleans, and if you love bread you won’t want to miss it. It will change the way you think about that bag of flour sitting in your pantry!
