Founder spotlight
Sam started Let's Break Bread Club with a simple idea: bread is better shared, and Charlotte's small businesses deserve a full room on a Monday night.
She is the Head Pastry Chef at L'Ostrica and formerly ran Wentworth & Fenn, the gourmet bakery that put her on Charlotte's best-of lists. Expect strong opinions on crust, crumb, and butter temperature.
