This just in from Claire St. Amant a staff writer at our sistah pub, Preston Hollow People:

Dough Pizzeria Napoletana, a San Antonio joint, is going to fill the Chocolate Angel Too space at Preston Forest in May (move in date is tentative).

Somebody Help These Poor People: Bakery Questions

One gal asks:

Do you know of any bakeries in Dallas that sell yummy French macarons, besides Tart Bakery?

A dude who loves food wonders:

Do you know any bakeries that regularly have slider rolls? I’m particularly interested in ciabatta since they are typically prettier and slimmer than a small, hamburger type bun. I see them at catered events and I can’t imagine that the caterers are baking them.

Buns and macarons are the order of the day. Fill it!
