Queso Beso sounds like a funny restaurant name, like one you wouldn’t want to say out loud, but when entering this spot in the heart of the downtown, your focus can go elsewhere. The remodel of this space was executed well, bringing in an extreme amount of welcomed light compared…
Celebrate the new year at the Farmers Market, where you can stop at 11 participating businesses to toast again and again. Ten of them will have alcohol, one will offer a non-alcoholic beverage. Ticket includes 11 drink fills and a souvenir glass. What: Dallas Farmers Market Drink Dash When: 6-8…
For our most recent brunch, we stopped into La Reunion — that not-a-bar, not-a-coffee-shop, not-a-sit-down-restaurant place we recently wrote about. One immediate issue is by design, it seems: When one walks in, they don’t know where to go. You encounter a coffee bar, then you’re asked if you want to…
As we get ready for New Year’s Day, some people will make black-eyed peas, maybe some greens, possibly some ozoni soup. I, however, will be thinking of soup joumou. Two years ago, I was in Haiti for my second time, that time over the New Year, where I first had…
We all know southern Dallas could use more restaurants, and it could absolutely use grocery stores selling fast food. I like to think we have people working on it (and I’ll just keep passive aggressively mentioning it in stories until they do). But there are some places serving good food,…
There are marshmallows you get in a bag at the grocery store — the kind you can smell through the plastic as you approach that section in the aisle. Then there are real marshmallows — the ones that make you realize there can be a real freshness to these creations,…
As we look back on 2019, from the food trends to the best burgers and the best new bars, we also consider what people read the most. While we may not be stoked about it, Popeyes is on this list (twice!). I’m thankful I met TC Fleming for a number…
When we spoke to chef Suki Otsuki after she took over Meddlesome Moth, she was confident about a few things, one of them being: This Design District spot needs brunch. And brunch it now has. Along with those seemingly countless beers on tap, there’s a menu that looks enticing. Reading…
For months, we’ve known Nick Badovinus was going to open a place on Lowest Greenville. That neighborhood description might be off, though. We’re talking “lower” than that, closer to Palapas: a place our critic Brian Reinhart isn’t dying to visit, but one I personally love, TBH. This is trendier than…
The Local Oak invites all to take a break from the holiday hoopla to get drinks and food — with or without your loved ones. They’ll offer their Local TNT for just $8 during this time, too. What: Holiday Relative Relief Party When: 4-10 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 26 Where: The…
We go to brunch every week — not because we love mimosas or carving time out of the weekend for another egg dish, but because we consider it a service as we carve a path through the increasing number of joints serving brunch. We went to different ones in 2018,…
There’s a fairly unassuming strip mall on Buckner Boulevard — if you drive around that part of East Dallas, you know it. Years ago, that’s where we were introduced to the greatness of Good 2 Go Taco in the Green Spot. But time passed, tacos left and someone decided to…
Bubba T and Jeremy Scott, owner of Tutta’s Pizza, are hosting an event to raise resources for Genesis Women’s Shelter. They’ll have half-price drinks for women and live music, all with their usual pizzas, wings and sandwiches. So if you love those wings as much as we do, go get…
Tillman’s Bishop Arts is leaving North Oak Cliff at the end of the year. A release Monday morning says owner Jeffrey Kollinger deeply considered the decision to close the spot. “We have worked with our landlord, Jim Lake Companies, and after much discussion, we’ve decided not to continue our lease…
Beverley’s had our attention before it opened last spring. It exudes charm on North Fitzhugh Avenue, on that strip between Cole Avenue and the Katy Trail. It looks like a fine place to eat and has that appearance of a place that would have a good brunch: bright colors with lots…
Michalene Busico, restaurant critic for The Dallas Morning News, is leaving the paper. Her next gig moves on from food coverage, as she’ll step into the editor-in-chief role for PaperCity Magazine next month. Busico had big shoes to fill after critic Leslie Brenner left; she joined the staff in July…
The University of Texas at Dallas wraps this semester with some new additions to its campus: food-delivering robots. The little machines, which look more or less like shiny coolers on sturdy wheels, are on-demand food delivery robots courtesy of Starship Technologies. The San Francisco-based company specializes in these robots and…
Dallas Vegan Drinks comes together for its last event of 2019. They’ll talk about vegan news this year as well as what they’re looking forward to in 2020. Eating-wise, expect some vegan cheese fries, nachos and Frito chile pie. You can also take nonperishable goods there, which will then go…
Taquero, the charming West Dallas taqueria serving some pretty stellar tacos, has its last day at its Singleton Boulevard location this month. But it’s coming back, just somewhere else. It’s not a tremendous surprise that it’s making the change: The seating’s all outside. It has a wonderful outdoor space, one you…
Who doesn’t appreciate a farm-to-table dinner? Not just a “this onion came from 99 miles away and is now at your cloth-covered table in Oak Lawn,” but a “this okra came from that bush that’s 2 feet away from you on this farm.” That’s what Stacy and Aaron Reeves are…
We all sighed with disappointment when The Grape closed, but we also kept an ear out for where chef Brian Luscher would wind up next. 33 Restaurant Group is lucky enough to get him as its new director of culinary operations. He’ll be working with the group’s restaurants, which include…
Oh, Adolphus, you can’t let the holidays slip by without decorating your historic hotel to the max and hosting something called a “bubble lounge,” can you? Perrier-Jouet is taking over the French Room Bar there throughout the month, giving us so much festive decoration and a special Champagne and cocktail…
