stop telling everyone about all the good bread spots. Now bishop is going to be full of hipsters. I guess I gotta find a new spot.

The Schat's are a family of bakers. I was fortunate enough to work with Jan Schat for a while, during his stint on the US Baking Team when they took the gold. They are brilliant.

What about Acme in SF? The sourdough there is amazing!

As a Mammoth season pass holder (and semi-frequenter of Schat's), I highly recommend their split pea soup if you're stopping by for lunch. Good pastrami. Excellent butter cookies, if butter is your thing. Cuz well, butter's MY thing. And always take home a loaf of jalapeno cheese bread - you heat it up in the microwave when ready to eat and it's awesome.

I lived in Bishop in 1977. I never appreciated bread until I tried their sheepherder bread. I am very glad that Schat's bakkery gets a posting here. Nostalgic memories for me. Thanks.

Thanks. I just had to send Bob out to Porto's for emergency carbohydrates.
