The salami baguette at Claire Meneely’s excellent bakery and cafe in Wedgewood-Houston is a bullet-shaped vessel of culinary wonder. A fresh baguette is spread with creamy and savory mustard-shallot butter. Atop that are laid thin discs of fine salami, plus the secret weapon: sliced cornichon pickles, providing tart and crunchy counterpoint. Get a whole or a half; you won’t be disappointed.
