It is distinguishable by its length and crisp crust. A baguette has a diameter of about and a usual length of about , although a baguette can be up to long. In November 2018, documentation surrounding the "craftsmanship and culture" of making this bread was added to the French Ministry of Culture's National Inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage. In 2022, the artisanal know-how and culture of baguette bread was inscribed to the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists.

Bâtard
"Bâtard" (English: "Bastard" or "Mongrel") is a short story by Jack London, first published in 1902 under the title "Diable — A Dog" in '' The Cosmopolitan'' before being renamed "Bâtard" in 1904. The story follows Black Leclère and Bâtard, two "devils", one in a man and the other in a wolfdog. Their intense hatred of each other forms the plot as each wants to kill the other, despite their master-pet relationship. At the end, Bâtard ends up killing his owner but is later killed himself. The story is a study of an animal's reaction to its treatment by man. There were complaints about the way the dog's behavior was described, and London followed up on the same theme with ''The Call of the Wild''. Etymology "Bâtard" means bastard or mongrel and " diable" means devil A devil is the personification of evil as it is conceived in various cultures and religious traditions. It is seen as the objectification of a hostile and destructive force. Jeffrey Burton Russel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The restaurant opened in 2014, replacing French restaurant Corton. __NOTOC__ History The space occupied by Bâtard was formerly home to the restaurants Montrachet and Corton. Drew Nieporent operated both before founding Bâtard. Corton closed in 2013 after its chef, Paul Liebrandt, departed to work at another restaurant. Like Montrachet and Corton, he restaurant's name refers to the a ''grand cru'' vineyard, in this case Bâtard-Montrachet. The word also means "bastard" in French. After the closure of Corton, Nieporent considered several proposals for the space before receiving one from chef Markus Glocker and John Winterman.

Glocker, the head chef, began splitting his time between Bâtard and the restaurant Augustine in 2018. The restaurant closed temporar ...
