There’s this fellow in Jamestown who’s getting a bread business going and selling his products for $5 a loaf. He’s so proud of his work, you only have to e-mail him and he’ll drop off a box of samples to your place of work. He works to promote quality baked goods and well-kept facial hair.
His name? Mr. Mustache. This is his blog.
I e-mailed Mr. Mustache last week asking him to drop off some of his bread at The Sun so we could try it and because we’re interested in doing a story on him. Today, while I was out on an errand, a young man wearing a mustache dropped off a box of samples at my desk and left.
Did my colleagues wait for me before getting into the bread? Absolutely not.
Sun Reporter Katie Ryan-Anderson likes bread, as you no-doubt can see from this picture my coworkers left for me.
They left a few pieces for me, to my relief. The bread is good. Based on the amount left for me, I’d guess it was very, very popular.
And the bread we tried was room temperature. Oh, what I’d give to try it hot from the oven.
Now we just have to figure out who this Mr. Mustache fellow is.
UPDATE: It turns out the 12-year-old boy who delivered our bread wasn’t just a delivery boy. He was the baker! I must say, he writes very well for a 12-year-old, and makes excellent bread as well.
Sun photographer John M. Steiner got this photo of him during the delivery.

He’s my next-door neighbor.
And, yes the bread is fabulous. We got some as a Christmas gift. Yum.
Oh sure. I move and then a baker moves to town. Jealous!
I’m a bit concerned. This is cute and all, and I applaud the effort and creativity, but does this mustachio operate within the guidelines of the health department?
Also, he looks like Mario.
What I’ve read gives me the impression he’s got adult supervision, but I can’t say for certain that is the case. We’ll have to ask him.
It reminds me of a scene from the 1940′s. I just hope that’s a Charlie Chaplin mustache!
It’s nice to know that some things don’t change at the Sun!
