It looks like the ever-busy team behind San Francisco's Tartine Bakery may soon get busier. Not only is founder/baker Chad Robertson opening an outpost in Japan, but he tells Grub Street that there may be a London location in the works as well: "We're looking at London. We're almost there, but the situation didn't really pan out. I have a team ready for London."
There are also details regarding a possible collaboration between Tartine Bakery and Blue Bottle Coffee: "I could see us doing something together, maybe in Japan," Robertson says, where Blue Bottle also now has a presence. Cronut king Dominique Ansel also announced Tokyo expansion plans this week: Is there a Tartine Bakery/Blue Bottle/Cronut mash-up in Japan's future?
