"The Second Bakery Attack" (Japanese: パン屋再襲撃, Hepburn: Pan'ya Saishūgeki) is a short story by Haruki Murakami, originally published in the August 1985 issue of Marie Claire Japan.

A recently married couple in their late twenties lie in bed, famished; they have little in their refrigerator: a six-pack of beer and some cookies.

After drinking and eating all of it, the man recounts to his wife a time he and his friend "robbed" a bakery ten years ago.

With ski-masks and a Remington automatic shotgun, they enter the restaurant and demand thirty Big Macs.

The couple then leave the restaurant and drive until they find an empty parking lot; they then eat four to six Big Macs each until they are full.

[2][3][4] As its title suggests, "The Second Bakery Attack" is a sequel to Murakami's short story "Bakery Attack", which was published in the October 1981 issue of Waseda Bungaku, the literary magazine of Murakami's alma mater Waseda University.

[7][8] Rubin's English translation would later be included in Murakami's 1993 short story collection The Elephant Vanishes.
