I never expected freeze-dried food would cross my path as a food critic. I was in Park City, Utah for this year’s Association of Food Journalists conference recently, and food storage was the topic of one of the scheduled discussions. I was hoping the presentation would feature a cute old…
People came out in droves to Greek Fest at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church over the weekend, to drink Greek beer, eat Greek-inspired food and celebrate the recent arrival of fall. In addition to the same dishes that have typically been served at the annual event, sliders stuffed with slices…
Often when you go out to eat, your meal is simply viewed as a necessary means of sustenance — a vehicle for nutrition on the days you can’t even muster the energy to push the buttons on your microwave to conjure food from a frozen box. Days like these your…

I’ve levied a lot of expectation on Savor, the new restaurant that opened last on Klyde Warren Park. Those desires have less to do with the Savor on its own, and more to do with the collective draw that a group of restaurants and attractions can create when they’re tightly…
It’s hard not to get a little excited about the prospect. Uni — the sex organs of sea urchins — may be one of the most delicious things you can encounter at the sushi bar, provided it’s fresh. It offers a creamy, briny flavor that’s rich and satiating, and a…
You’re likely going to have one of two reactions to the new Texas Discovery Biergarten at the State Fair of Texas. You might be genuinely excited by some new options. After all, nothing cries out anti-fair like a spinach salad with dried fruit. On the other hand, if you’ve just…
Certainly you’ve noticed. Every Twitter handle within a three-hour radius of Dallas has published no less than 17 tweets referring to the weather in the last few days. Suddenly, stepping outside is somehow enjoyable — a foreign concept considering the past three months have felt as hot as the sauna…
Back in January I got a press release that a Dallas-based company called Sweet Ballz was raising money for the Testicular Cancer Awareness Foundation. I was obviously hesitant to take the bait. Who wants to have their byline associated with an article about a company that turns out to be…

It’s a hot Friday night at Abacus, and Eddie “Lucky” Campbell is lovingly describing a gin cocktail, finished with lime and garnished with a copse of fresh herbs, to an older woman at the bar. Kent Rathbun’s flagship restaurant is fine dining tailor-made for its Uptown neighborhood, and the woman’s…

Could this be the year the signs hoisted in front of Asian restaurants are measured by the size of their chopsticks? On Fitzhugh Avenue, Dalat’s recently installed pho-beacon reaches up into the clouds with bright red utensils. Now Oishii is set to build on the trend with another sign outfitted…

While some restaurateurs may feel held hostage by bad Yelp reviews, others are pulling out the big guns. Meri Dahlke, who owns and operates Ten Bells Tavern in Oak Cliff, noticed a nasty one-star review that seemed excessively spiteful. From Yelper Mark G.: I live in Oak Cliff and really…

A good bowl of pho may be the most satisfying value play of all ethnic foods. You’ll never pay more than $10 or so for one, and most places charge you closer to $5. But despite the low cost, good pho is satiating in every way that food can be…

A paper-wrapped sandwich from your corner deli is nothing like the creation cradled in locally baked bread at East Hampton Sandwich Company, which has…
