The cuisine of Thailand is forceful and diverse. It’s deeply rooted in the same hot and sweet, sour and salty combination that forms the basis of most Asian cooking, but it’s influenced heavily by India, which lent spices, cooking techniques and a splash of Buddhism. South America offered the chiles…
Pakpao is a hot restaurant right now, in more ways than one. Not only is the dining room packed most days, making this a popular dining destination in Dallas, but the dining room is pretty warm, too. There was a similar climate control issue at FT33, where a massive in-room…

I have a little running joke with Mary Carter, who handles press relations for the Greek Food Festival every year. When I first got to Dallas I called her and asked if they’d be roasting whole lambs at the event, because, you know, it’s a Greek food festival. Most Greek…

If you’ve driven down Skillman you may have noticed some changes at Mariano’s. The building’s exterior used to be painted a garish red, orange and blue so blinding it was capable of causing accidents out in the nearby intersection. Now the walls are lapped in a subtle creamy color that’s…

For years, chefs have blamed customers for safe, boring, innovation-free menus, swearing that North Texas diners don’t understand or desire new and evocative cooking.
