Your favorite sandwich bread

Is the wiki piece correct about it being baked and sold around SF mainly?

Interestingly I grew up in the Sf Bay Area and we ate at lots of delis and visited lots of bakeries and I had not heard of either Dutch Crunch or Tiger Bread...

BUT... in Boston (Arlington actually), we had Dutch Crunch at the local deli.

Here in the UK we have Tiger Bread! (Three different kinds, mainly varying by the sizes...) Photo coming up.

I've spent a lot of time in the Bay Area too...so much so that I didn't even realize it was regional. I believe Safeway even carries it at all their local delis.

For grilled cheese or a chicken club, Cincinnati, Ohio's Shadeau Bakery's sandwich white. Tightly grained, not too sweet it turns a beautiful gold with just the right crunch whether coming from the toaster or a lovely butter bath from the griddle.  Their sandwich rye is darn good too.

I think I had an unorthodox bahn mi on a tiger loaf instead of a squishy baguette last time I was in SF. Just wish I could remember where....

I know this is your 2nd post (not 1st) but WELCOME to Roadfood, kschalk!!!!

I think any of their breads are fantastic - I particularly adore their baguettes...I wish they made NY style hard rolls..

To my mind the absolute best bread for sandwiches is -- oh, wait. That would depend on the type of sandwich, wouldn't it?
 
For a submarine sandwich I consider the submarine shaped loaf of Italian bread that gave the sandwich its name is best. That's a loaf found mainly in Connecticut.
 
For a toasted cheese sandwich (which many people refer to as a grilled cheese sandwich) it has to be a Wonder Bread type bread for me.
 
For pastrami and corned beef it must be corn rye. For liverwurst it has to be pumpernickel. For fried bologna I want a hamburger bun and for a hot dog a split-top New England-style bun or nothing.
 
I could go on, but I try to ration my brilliance.

 
You can't be too Brilliant! Articulate, YES! - Brilliant????
 
Anyone who eats Wonder Bread can't possibly be even close to Brilliant!
That Stuff is made with a little bit of flour, a whole lot of finely ground, re-cycled, plastic bread bags AND copious quantities of preservative chemicals.
Wonder Bread Executives claim that if loaves of their breads were placed in the Pyramid Tombs of the Egyptian Pharaohs, The bread would still be edible today!!!

FBM, I disagree. Wonder bread is bread of choice for KC BBQ.
Don't want any pesky bread flavor intruding on the glorious combination of
meat, smoke, and sauce. And it holds the pickles in.

No, brilliant is minute-of-angle accurate. Articulate just goes along with it.
