\"Leslie's<\/a>Recently, Leslie Mackie migrated south. However, unlike many of the Northwest birds that head towards the equator in the winter, she stayed only for a few days. The trip, although short, was long on activities. Part bakery tour and part board meeting with the Bread Bakers Guild of America (BBGA), Leslie ventured to the San Diego area. \u201cPure heaven for us Pacific Northwesterners,\u201d she commented as she described the 75-85 degree February weather.<\/p>\n

Prior to the BBGA meeting, Leslie was joined by co-owners, Scott France and Matt Galvin for the first leg of her trip. Always looking to improve, the trio gleaned information and insights on how to work smarter and more efficiently using examples from fellow bakers. Then, she and fellow BBGA board members congregated in the charming, coastal town of Encinitas, just 20 minutes north of San Diego. Of course, they have to eat, so follow us on a food \u201croad trip\u201d with Leslie.<\/p>\n

Stop 1: Bread & Cie. Bakery<\/a>, San Diego. The bakery specializes in hand-crafted European breads for their caf\u00e9, catering, and wholesale business. Leslie was impressed by the \u201ctalented and passionate people who own and manage this bakery.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stop 2: Sadie Rose Baking Co.<\/a>, San Diego. The company provides artisan bread for restaurants and hotels with sales to the public at local farmer\u2019s markets and in specialty markets throughout San Diego County. Leslie noted the wonderful malted brown bread and pretzel rolls, and praised the \u201cgracious owners who provided insights on the challenges and successes\u201d of running an artisan bakery.<\/p>\n

Stop 3: El Callejon Restaurant<\/a>, Encinitas. With a tagline of \u201cAuthentic Mexican Cuisine & Tequila Museum\u201d, Leslie confirmed that they offer great food and margaritas!<\/p>\n

Stop 4: Lofty Bean<\/a>, Encinitas. This great coffee shop serves flavorful organic coffee from, per Leslie, \u201creally nice people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stop 5: Union Kitchen & Tap<\/a>, Encinitas. Her recommendations at this lively restaurant are the \u201ctasty flatbread pizzas and creamy grits with spicy shrimp and andouille.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stop 6: Darshan Bakery & Caf\u00e9<\/a> , Encinitas. Jeff Yankellow, Darshan owner and BBGA president brought Viennese pastries and bread for breakfast each day. Leslie\u2019s comment: \u201cGreat croissants!\u201d<\/p>\n

So, are you ready for a SoCal food trip? Take Leslie\u2019s advice and eat your way around the area! When you are full, take time to relax and enjoy the beauty of the Pacific Ocean at the next stop.<\/p>\n

Stop 7: Self-Realization Fellowship<\/a>, Encinitas. According to Leslie, this belongs on your list of \u201cdon’t miss!\u201d With its stunning coastal setting and beautiful gardens that are open to the public, it\u2019s no wonder that Paramahansa Yogananda was inspired to write Autobiography of a Yogi<\/span>.<\/p>\n
