Berkeley bread has a lineage: Steve Sullivan opened Acme Bread in 1983 after years at Chez Panisse, and his levain and walnut loaves defined the Bay Area standard. The Cheese Board Collective, worker-owned since 1971, bakes around 40 types of bread a week in the Gourmet Ghetto, while Nabolom, a cooperative since 1977, holds down whole-grain loaves, rye and scones near Elmwood.
