Consider Samantha Rose a professional problem solver. Several
years ago, after her wooden spatula broke apart from its
silicone blade, Samantha had an aha moment. “Why not make
these in one piece? An all-silicone spatula would be virtually
indestructible,” says Samantha, who went on to develop the
world’s fi rst one-piece silicone spatula under her brand, GIR:
Get It Right. These spatulas have been a massive success among
professional chefs and home bakers alike, as well as celebrities
like Oprah Winfrey. Check out the components that make the
GIR spatula a baker’s essential tool:PLATINUM HEATPROOF

Think of Andy Kadin as the Wizard of Oz of the Los Angeles bread
scene: You’ve defi nitely seen his work; you might not have seen him.
The maestro behind the wholesale bread company Bub and Grandma’s
supports some of the top restaurants in L.A. The company now pumps
out more than 1,200 bread loaves a day. Menus and signs at restaurants
across the city—from Sqirl to Kismet—proudly proclaim Bub and
Grandma’s as their mother bread source. Below, we spotlight the best
of Andy’s bread clientele.
SQIRL: SOURDOUGH
Andy’s signature sourdough becomes the base for many of Sqirl’s
famous homemade jams and jellies as well as their cult-status
Avocado Toast.
KISMET: BARBARI
At the Turkish-inspired Kismet, breakfast isn’t complete without a
triangulated stack of Andy’s sourdough-leavened Barbari, a sesame
and nigella seed-studded fl atbread commissioned and created just for
Kismet.
KONBI: MILK BREAD
The soft, mildly sweet milk bread Andy helped formulate for
Konbi might be the most Instagram-famous of them all. Normally
sandwiching Konbi’s jammy egg salad or their katsu pork, Andy’s
perfectly downy milk bread is a worthy ode to the Japanese classic.
