Summary

This week on Breaking Bread, Tom is an absolute fangirl because the legendary Chris Bianco joins us in the studio. They discuss how comedy and baking both have the ability to comfort people in times of need. Chris shares about his efforts to help people during the LA fires. He even handles Tom's bread like an old grandma - but - does he give Tom his stamp of approval? We still don't know. Enjoy!
