Cathalena E. Burch Tucson's James Beard Award-winning baker is tiptoeing into the behemoth Phoenix market with plans to open a one-day-a-week satellite bakery in Gilbert in September.
Guerra insisted he has no plans to leave the Tucson market, which has embraced his Barrio Bread since he launched it in his garage in 2009. Barrio Bread Gilbert will return Guerra to his Tucson garage roots, when he worked alone producing dozens upon dozens of loaves of bread each day that he sold from his home. Guerra these days does little hands-on baking at Barrio's Broadway Village Shopping Center bakery, 18 S. Eastbourne Ave., leaving it up to his experienced staff.
