"Respect must be paid to Boudin, the great tourist sourdough of San Francisco. Boudin claims to have the Original San Francisco Sourdough (trademarked!), with a mother starter that dates back to the Gold Rush in 1849. It’s the iconic dense and tangy sourdough, and the flagship welcomes visitors on Fisherman’s Wharf with bread bowls brimming with chowder." - Lauren Saria, Becky Duffett
