Sandy Whann,  owner of Leidenheimer Bakery, is the great grandson of its founder, George Leidenheimer. Sandy tells us about the challenges his company faced re-opening following Hurricane Katrina and how he drove his employees roundtrip from Baton Rouge to New Orleans everyday. He tells us about New Orleans French Bread and shares his theory of how it evolved from the heavy, dense German bread his great grandfather first made, into the light airy bread we know today. The "Magna Carta" of the Poor-Boy is also one of his topics.
