, one person’s generosity has led to an outpouring of starter around the city.
The yeast-hanging trend apparently began when someone posted on the virtual neighborhood hub Nextdoor.com offering an active sourdough starter dubbed “Godric.” As a way to make this yeast available to everyone while also practicing social distancing, the bread lover apparently decided to simply hang it from a telephone pole in his Bernal Heights neighborhood.
Meanwhile, if you do go hunting for starters around San Francisco, keep in mind that you still need to practice proper hygiene and social distancing. Spreading yeast might be a great way to encourage community bonding, but accidentally spreading coronavirus in the process is not.
