bread renaissance in pittsburgh?

why is it that lately when i check my email somebody's sending me a report of yet another artisan sourdough bread baker in pittsburgh, pa.? don't growl if i ask why the bread culture there is suddenly in a ferment. . .

"a dose of simple pleasure, artisan breads have made a niche in this country's otherwise prefab bread world," sez one pittsburgh artisan baker.

"as kids, we made swords out of dough, and when the dough was baked, we had battles using them. then we ate them," sez another, who's set up shop with his brothers.

finally, a nice article about one of new york's artisan bread stars, jim lahey of sullivan street bakery.
