Which restaurant serves the best free bread in America? Caity Weaver embarked on a quest to find out. Weaver surveyed more than 500 people; traveled more than 13,000 miles; drank more Diet Coke than she thought possible; scoured the country—from a three-Michelin-starred fine-dining destination in Las Vegas to a lodge in the backwoods of Tennessee—all to find the best free bread. In The Atlantic’s May cover story, read about Weaver’s quest—and find her pick for the best loaf in America. 🎨: Produced by Grace Buono.
