Father’s Day is this Sunday. Have you made plans?

Entering Pearl’s sprawling new Pullman Market can be overwhelming, what with its soaring ceilings, arrays of colorful produce and seemingly endless shelves of specialty foods. Given the density of Pullman’s offerings and the crowds drawn by its just-opened novelty, it can be a good idea to approach the space with a game plan.

When the Pearl’s Pullman Market launched, only two of its four restaurant concepts were in operation, but if their quality is any indication, the other pair will be worth the wait. Pullman’s Fife & Farro offers Italian eats made from scratch, in a cozy, pseudo-rustic atmosphere.

Touted as the largest culinary market in the Southwest, San Antonio’s new 40,000-square-foot Pullman Market is indeed a beast to behold. The foodie mecca opened at San Antonio’s Pearl complex in late April, boasting shelves upon shelves of top-quality groceries and colorful displays of locally grown produce.

A sixth concept — this one a sports bar called Tribute — is slated to open in the coming weeks at The Creamery, a new mixed-use development near the Pearl complex. In addition to the requisite banks of TVs for sports fans to watch their teams, Tribute will offer food and a full bar, company officials said.

The owner behind downtown bar Bentley’s Beer Garden appears to have two other center-city nightspots in the works, according to a recent filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Dual concepts McFlys Bar and BBQ and Just Like Heaven are planned for a nearly 5,000-square-foot structure at 829 N. Alamo St., according to a June 5 state filing.

San Antonio’s sole Central Market location will host a Texas-focused event June 5-18, highlighting hundreds of products straight from the Lone Star State. The Texas Behold ’Em event will feature meats and cheeses, fresh wildflowers, snacks, sauces, wines and bakery favorites, all sourced right here in Texas, according to officials with grocer H-E-B, which operates the high-end Central Market stores.

Come a little early and Pazzo Pastaria might appear like just another San Antonio mom-and-pop Italian eatery struggling to make it.

San Antonio snack foods institution Ricos Products will host its annual Retro Roll skating fundraiser this Saturday to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. The event features family-friendly skating, snacks, photo ops, a raffle, caricatures, face painting and other activities, according to details shared by the company.

After a brief hiatus, Sherry’s Texan, a South Side institution known for its hearty comfort eats, has reopened in a new home near the Brooks development. In a Wednesday Facebook post, Sherry’s owners shared the news that the restaurant has reopened at its new location near Brooks at 2543 Goliad Road.

San Antonio’s Cake Thieves Bakery & Eatery, a purveyor of plant based baked goods, is celebrating National Donut Day, which falls on Friday, June 7, with a shoutout from animal rights group PETA. Virginia-based PETA — which stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals — posted a list on its website of its favorite U.S. bakeries and restaurants that make delectable donuts without relying on eggs or butter.
