Where are the best fresh dinner rolls to pick up around Decatur? I love almost everything at Alon’s but their dinner rolls are only ok. I love the breads at Cakes and Ale or Las Calaveras (sp?) bakeries but rolls, not bread, are traditional in my family. There’s some great store-bought options but they are over-used in my home and thus not special.
AHID, get you some Sister Schubert rolls in the frozen section — heat and serve. So good it is a joke.
Happy Thanksgiving!
i always go to Mary Mac’s, set a big shopping bag under the table, then dump 5-6 baskets of their yeast rolls and cornbread into it. the price is right, and my guests are always impressed.
Thanks. Not a fan of Mary Mac’s in general but do like the breads there.

“pfft, they all know i’m being ridiculous”
“um, no they don’t: playdates are getting cancelled, our dinner invitations are down, and whenever we go to Baby Kroger I’ve noticed employees trailing us around the store . . .”
“oh”
Rhodes Bakery on Cheshire Bridge, a few doors down from the Colonnade, does a might fine Parker House roll.
