The intern turned up this little biz-related story about a cheese bun I'd never heard of:

P*DE*Q, which makes a tapioca-based cheese bread known also as pão de queijo or chipa, will be joined by Fresno Mayor Ashley Swearengin at 10 a.m. on Oct. 26 as they cut the ribbon on its P*DE*Q Corner located at 1940 N. Echo St across from Fresno High School.

The company expects that up to 100,000 of the ready-to-bake, gluten-freen treats will come out of the 1,400-square-foot building each week upon opening, with potential sales in the millions.

The building will move owner Flavia Takahashi-Flores out of a test kitchen and into a store where customers can pick up the crispy treat frozen or fresh or enjoy them with coffee, tea and other beverages that will be sold there.
