One House Bakery

Snapshots: Two Years of COVID-19 in the San Francisco Bay Area Restaurant Industry | Eater SF

"During the early months of the pandemic my mom and I got creative and built a nearly 100-pound 'dead dough' Mandalorian scarecrow for Benicia's First Street contest that got huge attention, and later after I lost smell and taste to COVID I struggled to cook — nothing tasted normal, sometimes flavors turned rancid and vile — so I do smell training, take Prozac, and cook with a nose plug on the worst days because I still have a bakery to run and my goal to provide people happiness and love hasn't changed." - Paolo Bicchieri
