Central Standard Friday takes a bite out of local bakeries

• Rachel from Cupcakes Take the Cake
• We’ll have one of everything. Wait, make that two of eveything.

It’s no secret that we have a serious sweet tooth here in Fat City. And we love bakeries. Old favorites (like Jonathan Bender’s report on the move by the venerable McLain’s Bakery in Waldo) or really, really old favorites, like the long-razed Vienna Model Bakery & Cafe in the River Market, which lured in playwright Oscar Wilde back in 1882. Will someone please revive this forgotten business?

The subject will be bakeries – all kinds, all over the metro – this morning at 10 a.m. on the Central Standard Fridayprogram on KCUR 89.3 with me (someone who really needs to stay away from bakeries) and fellow panelists Emily Farris of feedmekc.com, Gloria Gale of 435 South, and Christine Becicka of Ingram’s Magazine.

If you can put down that doughnut long enough, call in and join the conversation at 816-235-2888.
