Restaurant Breadbaskets Disappearing

Monday, 19 May 2014 | by Pat's Picks

More and more restaurants are doing away with the complimentary breadbasket. The Boston Globe says bread has fallen victim to two forces: the economy and the anti-wheat movement. One research firm says in 2005, 18.5 percent of dinners included bread. In 2013, just 14.3 percent did. Some chefs have replaced bread with other appetizers while others charge a small fee for artisanal breads.
