Psyched to see a Sauce & Bread Kitchen shoutout in one of these posts – I live nearby and am sad we only recently discovered them. Hidden gem for sure!

I’ve been on the hunt for a pistachio croissant in Chicago, and that fig & pistachio combination looks delectable!

That fig danish is the kind of thing I could bring home and be declared a hero. Hopefully they do those again next season.
