Cynthia Shannon asked Robin Sloan:

Reading 'Sourdough' is making me think about some of the yummy bread we have in the city. What are some of your favorite bakeries in San Francisco?

Robin Sloan My favorite, for sure, is Arizmendi Bakery, primarily the Inner Sunset flagship location. Many of that bakery's scones were transformed directly into words on Saturdays and Sundays in 2010 and 2011, when I lived just across the park.

I also love Josey Baker Bread; in my household, we eat a LOT of their dark mountain rye.

Hi Robin, curious to know the background story on "STILL-TOO-SKINNY" while entering the Marrow Fair door? I realize the key was a bone but was the statement tied into something else?

Tomas asked Robin Sloan:

Most of the businesses in Sourdough are pretty obvious as to what real-life businesses they're inspired by (e.g. Greenlight coffee = Blue Bottle, Cafe Candide = Chez Panisse... I think). What is the soup delivery place inspired by? The descriptions of that soup are so good, I'd love to check it out some time!

Well, am I right? Is this book your daydream of the most exciting thing that could happen to you after you got laid off? PS. Also, is Clark Moffat a tribute to Stephen Moffat?
