- Rianne Buis lived in Portland for several years and found herself deeply addicted to the Irish Soda Bread from Grand Central Bakery. A move to Seattle left her without a soda bread source and so she determined to recreate Grand Central's version in her own kitchen.

It's true that a) many Jewish-style delis serve Reuben sandwiches, and b) many Jews don't keep strictly kosher. But when this paper refers to a dish made with corned beef and cheese as a "Jewish quesadilla," they're missing a pretty big point.

Um, I think you mean the "Grand Central Bakery" not "Grand Central Baking". There's one downstairs of my office here in Seattle, and they do have good bread, although I have never had the Irish Soda Bread (available March 15-17 only). But the rest of their food is very expensive.

Oooooo, Irish soda bread, I loooove that stuff. Made some for a cast/crew party of a play I was working on a number of years ago - it was gone within a half hour. Good thing I doubled up on the recipe and kept a loave to myself! :D
Huh... maybe I should find the recipe I used and do it again. It has been a while. I'm salivating already!
