It's Marvelous

Marvelous Market, a local bakery/gourmet food chain, was sold several months ago and its new owner closed its bakery and started buying breads from Uptown Bakers. It was like selling the Bentley and buying a Daihatsu. The victims were the Friday challah purchasers, whose Shabbat tables were made the poorer by Uptown's bland bread.

But today, there is joy in Mudville. The old baker, Mr. Dachman, is back supplying the chain's Bethesda and Chevy Chase store from his new Falls Church bakery. The Jews rejoice.
