California Eatin': Dutch Crunch in the Bay Area
I also had no idea this was a Bay Area specialty - I first had it at a little deli in Belmont down the street from my high school, an Italian sandwich that included various sliced meats and pepperoncinis - yum. Next you'll be telling me that bay shrimp with dill-cream-cheese spread on sliced sourdough (the other sandwich I used to get at that place) is another NorCal specialty? :)

There's a guy at the SF Ferry Building market who sells gorgeous persimmons in the Autumn - my boyfriend doesn't generally eat them, but they look so good we always go talk to the guy, who has great humour about it despite the fact we never buy any!

Dutch Crunch is the best you can get when it comes to sandwiches. The best place to get a GREAT! sandwich is at Ike's Place on 16th off of Mission (Castro). The best sandwich I've ever had!

Mr. Pickle's Sandwich Shops carry fresh baked dutch crunch bread. My favorite is the one on Watt and Whitney in Sacramento. They bake it fresh all day long, and it makes the absolute best tasting sandwich I've ever had.
Another excellent place to pick up some fresh dutch crunch is the Sanitary Bakery in South San Francisco -- they have been baking it for as long as I can remember!
Thanks for the info -- can't wait to try to bake my own!

I like going to the farmers' markets in Santa Monica, CA. Not only do you find unusual fruits & vegetables, but chefs from the top restaurants also shop there.

The fresh cherry sellers at the farmers' markets in Northern California in summertime are great!

The obscure jams is what I always love to purchase.
California Eatin': Dutch Crunch in the Bay Area
I used to live in Bay Area and I loved these Dutch Crunch for my sandwiches. I moved to NY and almost forgot about this Dutch Crunch but thank you for reminding me for this wonderful bread. I don't think I have seen them here but I will look for it next time when I am at a bakery. I miss Bay Area!!!

I love the famer's market at the North Market in my hometown of Columbus, Ohio - local producers without fail have a terrific selection of beautiful fruits (with exceptionally large and juicy strawberries) and veggies. It's a weekend tradition for me and my friends to visit it and stock up for the week.

There's one near here that's in a big red barn and it's right off of the highway so it's such a visual reminder. It's been there since I was a child so I have great memories of going there with my parents too.

I often drive over to the local farmer's market on Saturday mornings at about 11:30 AM to pick up a few dozen tamales to get me through the week; our market has the best pepper selection (hotter the better) in the whole state of AZ !!!

I live about 15 minutes away from a town that holds a huge farmer's market each Saturday from July through the fall, where I can find everything from fresh strawberries to homemade bread. Yum!

There is a local farmer that sells his corn at my farmers market. We get corn from him a few times every summer. It is the best corn on the cob. It is perfection.

One of my favorite vendors is the guy who sells mellons in the summer. He has great prices, good produce, and tells a mean joke too
