Our Daily Bread Deli — Restaurant in Town of Ghent

1/14/2023, Sat: I purchased from their bakery at the NYC Union Square Greenmarket with the tgtg app where they were very generous in quantity, where I had a chance to sample a number of their bagged and loose loaves of bread and baked goods. My favorite bread would be the 'Whole Grain Sourdough' : organic whole wheat flour, water and salt, for $5.00 which I just tried, and which is made with all natural sourdough starter and no commercial yeast, and salt and water and whole wheat from NYS. It is the most dense and whole grain of the natural sourdough without commercial yeast. The favorite loaf I tried other than the whole grain (whole wheat) sourdough is the: 'Seeded Rye': Bread Flour, Water, Rye Flour, Sourdough Starter, Caraway Seeds, Salt, where the bread flour is likely refined white flour, and the rye flour likely has whole grains and no commercial yeast. It is the last photo listed below. I tried the bagged gluten-free seedy rye (most popular, but not natural sourdough yeast),: Water, organic sorghum, tapioca starch, organic garbanzo flour, egg whites, apple cider vinegar, organic millet, flax seeds, sunflower seeds, NYS buckwheat flour, cane sugar, organic canola oil, potato starch, yeast, xanthan gum, sea salt, - and I tried the: bagged mixed grain: which is also not sourdough and uses regular commercial yeast: Bread Flour, Water, Whole Wheat Flour, Sourdough Starter, Rolled Oats, Sunflower Seeds, Sesame Seeds, Millet, Flax, Cracked Wheat, Yeast, Salt The ciabatta loaf of bread is un-sliced without a bag and mostly sourdough and is white bread and appears to have some commercial yeast: INGREDIENTS: Bread Flour, Water, Sourdough Starter, Olive Oil, Salt, Yeast. The morning glory muffin, which is a dark brown with oats on top (my favorite of muffins) has some whole wheat: INGREDIENTS: flour (all-purpose, whole wheat), carrots, brown sugar, sugar, eggs, apples, raisins, cranberries, canola oil, walnuts, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, salt. , while the cranberry and blueberry muffins use white flour but I believe use local berries: INGREDIENTS: flour, sour cream, cranberries, sugar, eggs, butter, baking powder, vanilla extract, salt, baking soda. The Cranberry Cornmeal Scone - $3.00 INGREDIENTS: flour, dried cranberries, butter, cornmeal, eggs, sugar, half and half, vanilla extract, baking powder, salt, uses regular white flour. The Mixed Grain Croissant $3.50 Local & organic whole wheat flour,wheat flour. butter, millet, flax, sunflower, sugar,yeast, salt, was one of my favorites and uses a whole grain whole wheat. Summary, the prices are reasonable, and this bakery features NYS local grains, and does offer a whole grain sourdough bread without commercial yeast, and has some whole grains in their muffins such as the morning glory and the mixed grain croissant, but could use more whole grains and natural starter sourdough in their breads and other baked goods, including the gluten-free options (even though the gluten- free options do include decent whole grains such as...

This is one of my go-to spots in Chatham, with good, authentic Jewish lunch and pastries. I was happy to discover that they are now open on Tuesdays. Since the pandemic they have switched from sit-down service to counter serve, and I have to say it was more enjoyable before the change. You have to bus your own dishes, and this time, the bussing station was a huge mess, with dirty dishes stacked all over--pretty gross. Also, I've always thought it would be nicer if they played music in the dining area. It's so strange how quiet it is. You can hear everyone's conversations around you. Music completely changes the atmosphere of a place.

As for the food, the corned beef sandwich and matzo ball soup are always reliable and delicious. I tried the smoked salmon sandy this time, and it was disappointing. It was more of an onion and tomato sandwich with a little bit of salmon. The amount of onion was pretty over the top; I took most of it off. I was still hungry afterward, which annoyed me, since this sandwich was a dollar more than the corned beef, which always fills me up. I wound up getting a blueberry-chocolate chip croissant muffin, which was delicious and tasted like a cross between a chocolate croissant and rugelach.

I'll still come here whenever I am in Chatham, but I won't be ordering the salmon sandy again. I'll just stick with my regular...

I stopped here during a weekday last week for a solo lunch after hearing so many great things.

There is a small parking lot out front. I had no trouble getting a spot at 1:00 on a weekday.

As you walk in, you are greeted by the smells and beautiful cases of freshly baked bread, desserts, and more. There is also a drink cooler to select from and racks of items available for purchase. The staff were pleasant and friendly. They took my order, offered me my table number for my food to be delivered, and let me know I could sit inside or outside on the deck. There were 2 rooms with several tables and the outside deck looked inviting for a next visit.

My food arrived promptly, less than 10 minutes after I ordered. I chose the buffalo caesar chicken wrap that was the special of the day and the potato salad. The wrap was delicious; plenty of crispy chicken compared to the amount of lettuce, just enough heat, and overall delicious. It was also sizeable and with the addition of the potato salad left me plenty full. The potato salad was also great - it had freshly chopped dill, and the flavor was perfect.

This is definitely a place that I would visit again. (Eager to try out the desserts next time!)...
