Let Them Eat Bread
In a month filled with resolutions, diets and promises, everyone deserves a cheat day.
Make yours tomorrow when Calgary’s famous baker boy Aviv makes a stop at Bird Dog Video. In addition to his Monday Bike Delivery and his regular list of shops, Aviv has introduced a weekly drop-off at the independent video store. Pre-order the bread and scones by tonight (flavours updated weekly on the site) and tomorrow eve, enjoy a carb-filled night with Meryl Streep.

Fabulous Baker Boy
From sourdough to walnut and raisin, Peasant Artisan Bread and Charcuterie by Aviv has us forsaking our carb count and indulging in delicious slices of the good stuff.
Aviv Fried's breads are available around town, but it’s what he does on Mondays that has us charmed. Every week, he delivers loaves of bread ($6 with portion of the proceeds going to charity) by bicycle to any downtown location. Sign up for the mailing list and each Wednesday you’ll receive a selection of breads to choose from for Monday's delivery, along with "recession package" pairing suggestions (from $12) like honey, cheese or soup. Now let's break bread.
