If you happen to like pizza, which is pretty much everyone, and you like helping people, which should be everyone, then Cane Rosso is probably the restaurant you want to visit tonight. Jay Jerrier sent out an email earlier today announcing 100 percent of this evening’s sales at the Deep…

If you can’t get enough of blogger-turned-professional barbecue snob Daniel Vaughn, you might want to tune your radio dial (does anyone still do that?) to KERA 90.1 this afternoon at 1 p.m. The entire second hour of Krys Boyd’s Think will be devoted to brisket, ribs, sausages and the endless…

The first time I experienced Till and Toil, the farmhouse saison from the Garland-based Lakewood Brewing Company, the beer was blonde and nearly crystal clear. Light and floral hoppy notes danced in my nose with every sip, and a subtle backdrop of citrus marked what I found to be an…

Ken Halverson from Larken Farms Orchard brought a few boxes of the season’s first peaches to the White Rock Local Market over the weekend. They were small, tart and firm, but they were peaches. And they’re only going to get better as the summer progresses. Halverson says the spring weather…

This past Friday amidst the mansions of Preston Hollow, Steven Stodghill (you might have heard of the burger named after the prominent lawyer at The Porch) hosted one heck of a party to mark the release of Daniel Vaughn’s new book, The Prophets of Smoked Meat. Justin and Diane Fortune…

Enjoying Craft beer week? It’s not over yet. Lauren has been detailing all the beer-laden events you’ve had to choose from all week, and there’s still a few more if you’re looking for plans. Don’t jump up too quick though. We’ve got a week to wrap up first. This week…

When properly executed, the banh mi may be the greatest sandwich of all time. The balance of fatty flavors from mayonnaise, pâté and other meats, with acidic pickles, is the perfect backdrop for Asian flavors like soy sauce and cilantro. It’s surprising that these sandwiches aren’t more popular here in…

The cluster of restaurants around the intersection of La Vista Drive and Skillman Street is about to get a new addition. A second Chip’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers is slated to open there by the end of this summer. If you’ve ever exited the Dallas North Tollway at Lovers Lane you’ve…

The documentary Cafeteria Man lays out the uphill battle faced by Tony Geraci as he took on Baltimore school system bureaucrats to overhaul the school lunch program. Geraci’s plan was a simple one, focused on the same local ingredients that many chefs have embraced over the years to build a…

The brisket is out of the butcher paper. Texas Monthly posted their latest top 50 barbecue restaurants list and both Pecan Lodge and Lockhart Smokehouse made this year’s cut. A look at previous years show just how far Dallas has come in the world of barbecued brisket. A long, long…

Private|Social, or P|S, or whatever it’s called now has been a shifty restaurant as of late. After Tiffany Derry left the kitchen at the start of the year, Najat Kaanache was announced as the follow-on chef. Kaanache brought global flavors and a whimsical approach to the menu that didn’t impress…

If you’ve dined on the front porch at Belly and Trumpet recently, you’ve likely noticed some construction in progress on the lot just to the south. Nothing complements perfectly seared branzino and a white Burgundy like whirring saws and the staccato rapport of a pneumatic framing nailer. The patio of…

In the latest Encino-man-meets-fine-dining-restaurant, HG Sply Co brings the paleo diet to Lower Greenville Avenue. If you’re not familiar, paleo practitioners embrace a back to basics style of eating they say promises a litany of health benefits. This isn’t just farm to table back to basics though, we’re talking way…

If you follow food politics you probably haven’t heard very many nice things about Monsanto. Their agriculture products and policies have gained a surprising amount of control of the modern agrarian economy and changed a lot of the ways farmers work and do business. Monsanto’s Roundup Ready soybeans are now…

Haystack Burgers & Barley, the new burger restaurant we told you about in April, will celebrate its grand opening tomorrow. Unlike Hopdoddy, Liberty Burger and countless other burger restaurants, Haystack is a singular entity owned by Richardson locals Kevin and Jenny Galvan and Rob and Christine Wondoloski. They’ll be sampling…

With other, more aesthetically pleasing options (sunny patios, shady backyards, quiet bars) a dusty industrial park is probably not the first idea that pops into your head when dreaming up Saturday afternoon drinking plans. But as craft breweries have continued to crop up all over Dallas, they’ve provided viable options…

Busy week in Dallas dining news. I’ll cut to the chase and get right to it. This week I wrote about Craft and Growler, the beer filling station that’s become a hub for local craft beer enthusiasts. If you’re looking to explore the exploding local beer scene here in Dallas,…
