"Marking its 30th anniversary, La Brea Bakery is bringing back founder Nancy Silverton to develop a new line of special-edition breads throughout the year; I’m intrigued by the promise of loaves made with unique grains and Silverton’s original sourdough starter, and I note that Silverton—the Mozza and Chef’s Table star—started the bakery in 1989." - Farley Elliott
"The original bakery that Nancy Silverton helped grow from a local operation into a cross-country force; its original location sits near the new La Brea storefront and is a key part of Silverton’s professional legacy in the area." - Farley Elliott
"A bakery founded in 1989 by the chef that became central to the modern bread movement, popularizing artisanal approaches to bread-making in America and inspiring bakeries internationally to treat bread as a crafted, market-driven product." - James Hansen
"A bakery he and his then-wife started around the same time as their restaurant partnership; the business was later sold in 2001." - Chris Crowley
