Where are the best biscuits? A new stop is on the way

—Eastside reader

The best I've written about lately were at River Bend Cafe, on Handley-Ederville Road off Loop 820 south of the Airport Freeway. But a new biscuit stop is on the way: Dwell Coffee & Biscuits from Burleson, opening in a bank building lobby at South University Drive and West Berry Street near TCU. The biscuits at Brewed on West Magnolia Avenue are excellent, and they're available all day. And of course, Fixe Southern House in Clearfork has fine-dining biscuits and grits at dinner or Sunday brunch.

Hey, Bud! Did I hear something about Mamma Monica opening another location? I'm a big fan.

Yes, sort of. Mamma Monica, chef Monica Russo's hidden-secret Italian restaurant in the Tin Top community between Weatherford and Granbury, is adding a second restaurant, Zeno's on the Square. It'll open in May on the Weatherford square.
