BDB uses only whole ingredients to make everything from scratch&by hand-condiments,dressings,sausage,lox,pastries,cakes,breadsNo fakes,noGMO,no chemicals.
Can a local eating establishment be emblematic of an entire community? I don't know. Perhaps that's hoping for too much. But I'd like to believe that the fine folks who own and operate The Back Door Bakery Cafe - and the equally fine folks who gather to laugh and kibbutz and quiz here every Wednesday night - are an accurate representation of the entire Sunland/Tujunga community.
And if that's the case, I gotta tell ya, Sunland/Tujunga is a wonderful place full of delightful human beings.
There were nothing but delightful human beings last night at our weekly quiz. Hodge Podge led all scorers with 69, followed by Shaina Maidelas with 62 and The Slinking Sausages (who neither slink, nor look like sausages) with 60. It was, in short, another wonderful night at the BDB.
So if you like good food, great people and - you know - happy times, we'll be back next week for more fun and frivolity. See ya then!

We sure had us some good fun this week at The Back Door Bakery Cafe in Sunland/Tujunga. It's always a good sign when the lead changes hands several times, as it did last night. That is a clear indication of competitive fervor, and frankly there was fervor residue all over the place when the dust settled and Hodge Podge at the top of the leaderboard.
La Dee Dah impressed us with their second place finish, and the Singing Sausages stood out in the drinking round with their solid knowledge of '90s music!
All in all, this is about the best place I can think of to spend a Wednesday evening. But don't take my word for it - come see for yourself! We'll be back next week! Join us.

A lovely evening with the nicest people you'd ever wanna meet is how this quizmaster would describe our weekly meeting of trivia aficionados last night at The Back Door Bakery & Cafe.
The contest was a hoot, as always, with Hodge Podge demonstrating their dominance following a somewhat sub-par performance last week. Yup, they came roaring back, as we knew they would!
Perhaps best of all, it was also a special night for our hosts, Deborah and Reno, who were celebrating their wedding anniversary among friends and family. Congrats, kids! Let's all raise a glass (or a muffin) in your honor!
