While watching one of my favorite cooking shows, Cook's County, a little bit of Madison turned up. The host, Christopher Kimball, didn't just reveal he was once a Dead Head freak and hung with Wavy Gravy, but he also knew all about Madison's legendary Ovens of Brittany morning buns. Sorry, I did not include the recipe which streamlined the old more laborious process. But it's still cool:
I knew a young woman employed at the The Ovens in the very early 70's who quit when she discovered money was being withheld from her paycheck for the benefit of the commune. She filed a complaint with the state and was reimbursed. The work atmosphere, according to her, was like that of a cult.
