When Friday hit, it seemed like many were coming out of the woodwork to say they’re feeling it.

Sunday morning, the friends I was supposed to go to brunch with bailed on me. I couldn’t complain too much; they’re self-quarantining while the coronavirus pandemic continues. I went anyway with a last-minute companion, and the restaurant had a few tables filled. I washed my hands after handing the menu…
Wash your hands. Stay away from people who are sick. Lock yourself in at home if you’re feeling ill. We keep hearing these things and, hopefully, we’re all following them. For Dallas restaurants and bars, they’re following those rules and then some. Many of us are aware of what’s going…
