Easily one of my favorite places to get some really tasty fried fish or pan-de-sal, Valerio’s City Bakery is a Filipino staple in Southern California.
Here’s the sad thing:
Wednesday, August 27. 4:30 pm. Telephone ringing. Filipino lady answers.
“Valerio’s City Bakery.”
“Hi, do you have any organic products in your store?”
Long pause. “What do you mean organic ?”
“Natural foods, do you have any natural, organic foods or brands? Do you use organic ingredients?”
Lady mumbles. “No, we do not.”
“Thank you.”
Are you kidding me? Valerio’s doesn’t even know what “organic” is.
