"Opening next month in Lakeview, the pastry chain Chez Pierre French Bakery is bringing its signature sweets and traditional Vietnamese specialties to the neighborhood at 141 W. Harrison Avenue and will be led by the owners’ daughter, Taylor Bui, who at 20 has grown up in the family business. The company, which the mother began operating in 2005 and grew with locations in Metarie and Harahan, plans to expand the current amount of prepared meals to go and add brunch dishes for weekend diners; Lakeview residents can also expect made-to-order spring rolls, rice noodle dishes, banh mi, and specialty pastries like croissant doughnuts, and the location will continue to be an outlet for king cakes. The Lakeview addition is expected to open mid-January." - Clair Lorell
