Everyone in North Augusta knows Manuel’s Bread Café, but few know the enchanting story of how its owner, Chef Manuel Verney-Carron, came to live North Augusta all the way from a tiny village in France. Joseph Stanek tells listeners, in a cinematic and 100% factual narration, how young Manuel, heir to France’s oldest family gun-making dynasty, chose instead to follow his passion for baking, and found his happily ever after in North Augusta. This episode’s North Augusta Moment is provided by Sara Hannon in a touching tribute to the power of community.
