Darn, I keep forgetting the Thursday Zoom. One of these days... I'm not in Santa Fe, but I was intrigued by "New Baking Company" on Cordova street. I assume it is the same place (but different management) that used to be the Santa Fe Baking Company in the 2000s? The pictures on TripAdvisor would suggest that it is. There was only one review, and it said something like "everything bad, except maybe the iced coffee". If that's true, it's very sad. Back in 1999-2008 when we lived there, it was Karen's and my favorite lunch spot in Santa Fe.
An anecdote for posterity: we moved to Ecuador from NM in 2008, and I really missed Santa Fe. On our only trip back to the US since, in 2012, we went to Santa Fe for a visit. I attended an in-person FRIAM (in the Railyard that Friday) and was glad to see some of the old gang. Karen and I went to Santa Fe Baking Company for lunch, and the owner, Steve, waited on me at the counter. Despite my being away for over four years, he greeted me with "Hi Gary, what can I do for you?". I choked up with emotion and had a hard time speaking. I really felt at home there. I'm sad that he (and his brother, I believe) no longer run it. I also remember that a Santa Fe radio station broadcasted live from there, one morning each week. I don't remember the host's name - a pleasant lady that I once spoke with briefly after her show.
