This year's battle to crown the best baguette in Montreal is heating up. Maudits Français, a go-to resource for French expats who crave a slice of home, has sifted through the city's bakeries, kneaded down the competition, and found the spots that make the most authentic long, thin loaf. The finalists will go crust-to-crust in a public taste test on March 14 at the Union Française de Montréal. The winner is set to become the toast of the town, their creation hailed as the pinnacle of bread-making in Montreal.
