SC - RE:Bread and Rise Time

[Schumacher, Deborah (AZ15)]

I had said... about a new yuppie bread place
>>But what caught my interest was that they bragged that they let their
bread  rise for 16-24 
>>hours to achieve their "web like airiness."  sure the bread i got is airy
there is a whole >>in the center of the loaf  about the size of a half
doller, running through half the loaf,  
Then Bonne said
>I've seen this bragged about as well, and I just don't get it! When I >want
bread, I want the solid parts, not the air-holes! Terribly airy >and webby
bread is a failure, IMO. 
Well exactly, I had hoped to use part of the loaf for grilled cheese or
sandwhiches. It was decent bread though, had a slightly sour taste to it.
It's the rise time that accounts for this? Or is that how this particular
bread is supposed to be. It was Ciabatta loaf, a kind I hadnt had before.
