Since I started writing this blog, I have been making a wish list of bakeries I want to visit. Red Truck Bakery (www.redtruckbakery.com) in Old Town Warrenton, VA is definitely at the top of the list. First off, I really love that they turned an old Esso Station into a bakery. Second, I really love the truck- an old 1954 red Ford farm truck- while I would not have the first clue how to drive it and would surely kill the transmission, clutch and any thing else in the engine, is really my dream truck. Third, and most importantly, I am obsessed with their menu- I look at it every day and wish that I could be there right when the bakery opens and smells so amazing. Today’s soup for example is potato with apple wood smoked bacon- heaven. If you live in the neighborhood or have the chance to be near the area, please check it out for me as it doesn’t seem that I will make it there any time in the near future. Fortunately- they ship nationwide (http://www.redtruckbakery.com/store)!! Here is some of the press from my favorite magazine- Garden & Gun:
“Leave it to a baker in moonshine country to create a dessert that rivals the Kentucky bourbon ball. The Double Chocolate Moonshine Cake from Red Truck Bakery in Virginia is made with legal hooch and enough rich chocolate to give you a food buzz. ”

Gosh, Meg, thanks for the good words! Sounds like you need to get on up here pretty soon; in the meantime I think someone close to you might want to read this and take care of some Christmas shopping. I’m really happy to read your post; I’ll share it in my next email blast.
