"There are many incredible inventions in human history—the printing press, modern medicine, and that soda machine that lets you mix different soda flavors. We believe the manakish from Cedar’s Bakery deserves such legendary status. Each hand-formed wood-fired dough gets topped with your choice of spiced beef and a drizzle of za’atar spice and olive oil, or bubbling akkawi cheese and chopped parsley. Bites of the spongy yet crispy bread make us grateful the sun rises each morning, mostly because it means another day full of manakish." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
