Ah, so it's just that the OP wrote something that was prone to be misparsed. I read "breadbasket home" as a compound noun and guessed it was some kind of food

I read "breadbasket home" as a compound noun and guessed it was some kind of food bank or something, but "home" was really an adverb modifying took. So what was meant was something like "My grandma ... always took [home] the bread from a [restaurant] breadbasket..."
