Pattycake Bakery will vacate its storefront of the last 16 years and head just over a mile north to a new, larger home at 3870 N. High St. The bakery will purchase the former home of Flowers & Bread, which saw major changes to its business model due to the coronavirus pandemic. “We have just really outgrown the space,” Pattycake Co-Owner Molly Shea says of their current location at 3009 N. High St. Coming in at a compact 650 square feet, not only are team members physically bumping into each other in the kitchen (well, before COVID), but the small square footage has kept the business from meeting all the demand for its vegan baked goods.

Memphis and St. Louis have ribs, East Coast goes pulled pork to whole hog, but Texas goes beef. Harkrider outlines the perfect Hank’s order: the fattier side of the brisket with pickled vegetables and white BBQ sauce. It’s just one option on a menu that includes pulled pork, sausage, ribs and smoked chicken. The chicken – brined, smoked then braised – is another highlight says Harkrider.
