It seems as though Jay Jerrier has taken a different approach when opening his third Cane Rosso, this time in Fort Worth. Instead of hyping the opening as he did with Zoli’s, his new York-style pizzeria, resulting in a massive surge of customers that overwhelmed his sales system, Jerrier chose…
Matt Tobin, Josh Yingling and their partners will certainly not be remembered for the hasty opening of The Blind Butcher. The Greenville Avenue restaurant and bar was first announced more than a year ago, but the restaurant’s opening was stymied by permitting and other delays. Earlier this January the doors…
Texas’ best little distillery under a bridge, Balcones, has won a new set of awards, further documenting its slow and steady conquest of the whiskey world. This time around London’s Wizards of Whisky anointed the Waco-based distiller’s Texas single malt as Whisky of the Year 2014, as well as the…
Last week Buzzfeed unilaterally matched cocktails with US states, giving just a vague description of its research — “a combination of state of origin, popularity, and exclusivity.” Some of them made sense, earning their names from the state’s university, an infamous citizen or a major city. The Sazerac went to…
Bacon is a cat. Lee Harvey’s is a bar. Kaz is Bacon’s keeper and Lee Harvey’s social media authority. Bacon recently took an unannounced odyssey, leaving nothing but conspiracies in his wide, panicked wake. A well known local music critic, no one understood why Bacon would give up his fat,…
Before this weekend, Bishop Arts was short a good ol’ fashioned seafood joint. Thanks to Pier 247, this vacancy has been filled. On the corner of Davis and Madison Streets, Cecilia Lopez retrofitted an old gas station and invited chefs John Fleming and Ty Frazier to light up the deep…
Just last Tuesday, the folks behind CrushCraft Thai announced their anticipated restaurant would be opening in about an hour from now for lunch service. But if you’re the type of person who loves to bound into restaurants on opening day and had been anticipating The Quadrangle Thai newcomer, you should…
It’s obvious how the tradition for a dry January got started. New Year’s resolutions have always been traditional, and considering the severity of those eggnog hangovers, cutting back on drinking is an obvious candidate. Dry January mandates that participants give up booze for 31 days, right after the liver-pummeling that…
People take their coffee very seriously, or at least take their coffee ritual very seriously. For me, coffee is a part of the rhythm of my life. Drinking coffee is my first order of business every morning without exception. I begin looking forward to that first sip of coffee in…

If there’s one thing Texas will teach you fast, it’s that you should never trust the weather. A searing hot summer might be followed by a smooth and temperate winter, or it could be followed by polar vortex that lasts for months on end. The swings are even more disorientating…
Have you stopped into El Come Taco since it opened late last year? The taquería run by Luis Villalva and his family had been turning out an increasingly interesting menu since opening its doors to the public on Fitzhugh Avenue. See Also: This week’s review: A New Taqueria with an…
With keg-jacking on the rise in the dangerous streets of Addison, no one is safe.
Our pants, palates and cheery dispositions continue to expand to along with the local craft beer scene. And as more breweries continue to pop up across North Texas, finding a local beer at a local bar is no longer a matter of availability, rather choice. Growler filling stations are a…
If you’ve never fancied yourself a noodle slurper, Tanoshii Ramen + Bar still wants you to stop by for a visit. This week Chef Lan Chi Le added a few Japanese burgers to the menu at her noodle house: a traditional hambāgā, a chicken burger and a veggie burger. In…
One thing I have discovered since moving to America, besides that pile of barbecue I consumed last year, is just how amazing Vietnamese coffee is. The one above is from Pho Bistro in Carrollton, at 3052 Old Denton Rd, but they’re the same all over. It’s basically one of the…
It’s not the big anniversaries that get me — the 10-, 20- and 25-year milestones — it’s the little ones. The one-year anniversaries are the ones that sneak up from behind and cold-cock you. Boom! Another year is gone. And that’s just what Green Grocer is doing this weekend as…
After years of serving serving pastas and steaks to happy customers, Uptown’s Arcodoro & Pomodoro closes its doors. In 2009, the Sardinian-Italian restaurant moved from its Routh Street location to the doomed corner spot in Crescent Court. Crave DFW broke the news this morning that after a long run, A&P…
Luis Villalva is a short-statured man with a round, happy face and a soft voice, and he may be Dallas’ most likeable taquero. He’ll happily describe the difference between his cecina and suadero, two chewy cuts of beef that end up in his tacos, and offer advice for toppings when…

We hope you’ve been training for the second annual Hypnotic Donut Dash 5K, particularly the Chubby Bunny doughnut-hole eating contest. And the beer. We’re not “hopeful” there, we have faith. We “know.” It’s the sixth sense we subsist on, actually. Below are the pertinent details, broken out in doughnut-hole points…
