Celebrating National French Bread Day with Samuel Herb

Today is National French Bread Day! French bread, also known as a baguette, is a crusty loaf baked in a long, thin shape. The French have been making long sticks of bread since at least the mid-eighteenth century, but the baguette didn’t become an iconic symbol of French cuisine until the twentieth century.



"The way the I explore a new city is by grabbing a baguette from the best Google rated bakery in town and I walk around eating it. I continued such tradition last March in Philly with one of my best friends Dani (who lives there) and she was like "Can I take a picture with your baguette", my first reaction was this is SO dumb. But after seeing how hilarious her picture in front of the art museum was, I decided to take my own and that was the beginning of something wild. I started taking romantic pictures with my baguette in every city I toured in and even created an Instagram account for Baeguette (@_baeguette). It's been a fantastic experience to watch everyone react to my relation with bread flourish. "
