It’s the second Saturday of the month, which means the Dallas Farmers Market is welcoming Chef Jeramie Robison for a demo. Robison is the executive chef at the Adolphus’ City Hall Bistro, and this weekend he’ll use local ingredients from vendors in the Shed. What: Chef Demo with City Hall…
Decades ago on the first day of school, Eddie Campbell’s teacher asked students what they wanted to be when they grow up. While others presumably offered the standard answers — athletes, astronauts, president — young Eddie said he wanted to own bars and nightclubs. It earned him a trip to…
Fries covered in fatty, savory toppings sound like the perfect thing to have late at night in Deep Ellum. While you can get that at #GetFried, don’t expect it to be fast — or particularly delicious. And yes, the hashtag is part of the name. This chain fry cafe on…
The second annual Arab Texas Festival returns to Mesquite on Sept. 2, offering food, performers and activities aimed at spotlighting Arabic culture. And it comes with a tempting array of food, including shawarma, falafel, meat and cheese pies, and Arabian-flavored desserts. The festival is the brainchild of the Richardson-based Arab…
Last Friday morning, volunteers arrived at the Lew Sterrett Justice Center, prepared to hand over cashier’s checks to post bail for 16 low-income prisoners. They have done this every Friday in August, lending a hand to inmates accused of minor offenses who can’t afford cash bail or bondsmen’s fees. This…
Laurel Tavern has a beautiful patio on the east side of Lowest Greenville. The aesthetics alone make you want to go in, but if you’re looking for brunch that goes beyond “basic,” you might as well keep walking. Brunch is served from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, and…
Is it lazy, simple or efficient to take your regular menu, throw it over eggs and call it brunch? Let’s talk about that. There’s no doubt that Taco Y Vino offers a tranquil setting in its adorable little house in North Oak Cliff. And there’s probably not much more you…
A lovely Oak Cliff spot with a lovely menu expanded its sights to brunch last weekend, bringing waffles and Bloody Mary cocktails to Jefferson Boulevard. Small Brewpub was busy enough Sunday, in its first weekend of brunch service, that some of the after-church crowd was forced to brave the 100-degree…
Del Frisco’s Grille has launched a new brunch menu, giving Uptown another spot to soak up hangovers with waffles and eggs. Just after opening at 10 a.m., it’s quieter here than the crowd that never seems to dwindle at Bread Winners across the street. The menu’s large enough, even though…
Most everyone knows the Merc, one of the most iconic structures in the downtown Dallas skyline with its mid-century clock and steeple. But unless you live in one of the residences there or know someone who does, you might not have had a reason to visit the 31-story Art Deco…
When a young person gets a leadership job that typically goes to someone at least a decade older, it’s quite possible that he or she might think it’s fine to run the ship with a less-than-generous attitude. But there’s at least one 23-year-old who doesn’t fit that mold. For Chase…
Tell someone you’re going to that East Dallas restaurant with plenty of outdoor space where kids roam free, and most likely they’ll know you’re talking about the Lot. The same owners have opened up another establishment next door, offering a calmer, more upscale environment and a more interesting menu: Local…
Starting in August, there’s a new elotes cart to seek out on the streets of Deep Ellum. It’s brightly colored, and the food is sure to satisfy since it’s coming from the mind of Dallas chef Justin Box, but serving street corn is only part of his mission. “I want…
The final restaurant space has been filled at The Statler, and in its first week, Fine China made a grand entrance. With a large dining room with modern design, a few rooms for private dining parties, a partially exposed kitchen in the back and some of the prettiest bathrooms, Fine…
For Shoals Sound and Service, having a Deep Ellum establishment with a stellar bar program and a ridiculously good bologna sandwich isn’t enough. It has to have brunch. What’s different about brunch at Shoals, though, is that you can get a different menu and different style of food almost every…
Stephen Smith and James Jeffers served the United States through two tours in the Middle East. Today, they’re serving in a different way — and you can tell what they do just by looking at the name of the nonprofit they formed to help other veterans. The two founded Farmers…
If you’re looking for superior French toast, you’re in LUCK. Literally. You’ll find LUCK, which stands for Local Urban Craft Kitchen, among the long strip of restaurants in Trinity Groves. It offers 40 beers on tap and a full menu — along with a brunch menu that makes it worth…
There’s a coffee shop in downtown Dallas that has a nice vibe and serves good coffee. It even has decent-enough tacos until 11 a.m. each day. Various seating arrangements welcome people to eat there instead of rushing back to work or elsewhere. Little flower arrangements sit on each table, and…
In one of Uptown’s shiny, newer buildings, you’ll find another shiny, even newer restaurant offering brunch. Doc B’s Fresh Kitchen, a national chain, has clean lines in design, plenty of natural light filling the small dining room and abstract art adorning the high walls near the ceiling. It also features…
It would feel almost eerie if it wasn’t just so damn sad. This week, the suicides of two prominent American personalities — one in fashion, the other in food — once again force us to face a health crisis we’ve been ignoring and stigmatizing for so long, it’s reached epidemic…
The Design District’s Wheelhouse just broadened its menu to brunch, and while the food’s good, the music is what makes the experience interesting. Each Sunday as Wheelhouse serves brunch, a DJ is set up at “center court,” the open-air courtyard between Wheelhouse and Sassetta, spinning vinyl. The result is an easy…
Visitors will fill a room in Wilshire Baptist Church to share a meal Thursday. They’re not sharing communion or having a fellowship potluck in the East Dallas church but are coming together through Ramadan, a sacred month for those who practice Islam. Dialogue Institute Dallas, an organization based in Richardson,…
