In a medium bowl, combine bread crumbs, bacon, oregano, cheese, sauteed vegetables, and chopped clams. We offer five kinds of baguettes: three French breads (the demi, mignon, and regular), a whole wheat option, and a sour French in which we let our usual French ferment for a bit longer to achieve that characteristic sourdough bite. Alongside the baguettes is our bolillo, or French bread roll, as well as our biscuits varied only in their shape between the horned cuernitos and round.

Glenn Lindgren: Although there are some limited areas of the country where you can get a decent loaf of Cuban bread, (cities like Chicago and Union City New Jersey), the best Cuban bread is made in South Florida.

Stray north of the Cuban Bread Line and you have two chances of getting a decent loaf: slim and none.
