Congratulations to La Esperanza Restaurant & Bakery for being recognized by Esquire as one of "100 Restaurants America Can't Afford to Lose." http://bit.ly/2XdmG3T "La Esperanza Panaderia (Sacramento, CA): Opened in 1969 by Salvador Plasencia, it’s now being operated by Salvador’s grandchildren. All I have to do is walk into this 52-year-old panaderia that anchors Franklin Boulevard in my hometown of Sacramento to bask in the throngs of childhood nostalgia at warp speed. The... smell of gingerbread puerquitos, jammy niños, crusty and soft bolillios, churros y mas will bash you in the face as soon as you open the storefront door, and leave you bewitched, bothered, and bewildered. Bide your time in the queue by counting the original black and white tiles on the floor, catching glimpses of the frantic bakers through ajar doors, and impatiently staring into the display cases filled with fresh pan dulce made on-site. Staring into the display case is critical. This way you know what you want as soon as you get to the counter and aren’t one of those pandejos who’s constantly asking ...ooh, and what’s this?... You don’t need to know which region every different bread is from, or if it was made with organic heirloom purple Oaxacan corn. You’re holding up the line! Shut up, point, order, move down the line, shove it into your gob. Celebratorily, of course. IM" See more
