Along with everyone else who grew up in Hawaii, I was stunned and saddened by the news of Love’s Bakery’s impending closure. I even felt a little guilty for having cut down my gluten consumption over the past few years.
I’m also a bit embarrassed that my first thought wasn’t of the 250 or so employees who will lose their jobs, or the many kupuna who have never made sandwiches or cinnamon toast with any other brand of bread. The selfish gasp inside my head went something like, “Oh, no! Now I’ll NEVER know the second verse of the old Love’s jingle!”
