Want to eat good and do good? Here are some opportunities this week. This week, your love for soup and pancakes automatically earns you a few extra karma points. Check out some charitable eating options going on this week. The Place: Panera Bread North Dallas in Preston Forest Shopping Center…
Just last week on the The Dallas Morning News’ Eats Blog, Leslie Brenner lamented the fact that “Tex-Mex is not Dallas’ strong suit,” and invited readers to submit an acceptable list of establishments. She listed El Ranchito, Cuquitas, Mias, and Mextopia as passing muster. I would have added Gonzales, Chitos,…
We’re combing through the massive influx of photos from the Super Bowl parties, and we caught this gem from Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives host Guy Fieri. He was among a whole slew of celebrities at the Maxim Super Bowl party at Fair Park in Dallas, but one of the few…
OMG! Lots of Super Bowl parties going on in Dallas–right now–and oh-so-many celebs. We’re combing through the photos from The Bud Light Hotel and the F.I.G.: not exactly foodie celeb heaven. Except a couple from last night’s Playboy Super Bowl party. Well, two if you count Iron Chef Marc Forgione’s…
Just like for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s, Dallas food blogs have eagerly compiled lists of things to do and places to go if you’re not into the main event. On Super Bowl Sunday, even if you’re into football and not so much into planning ahead, there are still plenty…
In part one of this week’s Three Course Meal, we gave you a look at Jason Boso, owner and executive chef of Cowboy Chow and Twisted Root Hamburger Company. In part two, we asked Boso to complete our thoughts for us. In today’s final installment he shares a recipe for…
The reliably stupendous sales of pizza on Super Bowl Sunday have inspired makers of pie accoutrements to intercept some of the action. Tabasco sauce has made an annual habit of piggybacking on the pizza industry’s holiday, running radio ads reminding consumers how much a drop of pepper sauce improves a…
Fans of bubble tea consider their favorite beverage an everyday drink, but a local purveyor’s seizing the opportunity provided by the Chinese New Year to expose more potential customers to the trendy tea. Chill Bubble Tea, a Chicago-based company with four locations nationwide, is partnering with the Crow Collection of…
It almost risks redundancy for the 1,000-kilowatt cooking couple of Gina and Pat Neely to do any kind of Super Bowl-related show. Since, by all outward appearances, each of their cooking shows seems choreographed to climax with a whoopin’ and hollerin’ game-style party involving friends and family members too numerous…
Last night was a big night. A big family night. A big Italian family night. As much as I love me some Tre and Tiffany, I was rooting for Fabio big time. If I had the money, I’d want Fabio to record an audio book for me of his own…
This certainly isn’t the week to jog the Katy Trail (Fountain Place is frozen, man!), so instead, Jose Ralat Maldonado — who has traversed the taco scene for City of Ate — and the rest of us implore you to eat. Eat as much as you can to pad those…
On Wednesday, we gave you the goods on Jason Boso, owner and chef at Twisted Root Burger Company and Cowboy Chow. Today, we ask Boso to finish a few sentences for us. Tomorrow, he shares one of his recipes. (Note Boso’s words are after the ellipses.) I was raised in…Miami…
In what could amount to the grandest bit of reverse psychology ever marshaled to sell a soft drink, Dr Pepper has selected the slogan for its new 10-calorie soda. Dr Pepper Ten will be marketed with the tag line: “Dr Pepper Ten: It’s Not for Women.” According to a company…
Dallas eaters who live downtown may be the unintended beneficiaries of this weekend’s anticipated Super Bowl hubbub. While many downtown lunch spots typically shut down for the weekend, at least one sandwich shop has announced plans to stay open this Saturday. For the first time ever, Jason’s Deli on Main…
There’s not much ice left on the streets, but “cold” still seems an inadequate word to describe the weather outside. You can coat your outsides with scarves and mittens, but where does that leave your shivering insides? Dallasites cannot survive on hot toddies alone, which is why y’all should head…
Visitors here for the Super Bowl are probably feeling right at home this week because of the weather, but you’ll feel even more welcomed this weekend when every bar and restaurant in North Texas will cater to Steelers and Packers fans. Whether you’re an out-of-towner looking to celebrate with your…
The mess of wintry weather that roared through Dallas this week couldn’t have been worse timed for Billy McDonald, the legendary pit master whose Deep Ellum joint made the highlight reel of New York Times restaurant critic Sam Sifton’s four-day DFW eating tour. In a story outlining area eats, Sifton…
First they came for Sparks, and I didn’t speak out because I didn’t drink Sparks.Then they came for Four Loko, and I didn’t speak out because I didn’t drink Four Loko. Then they came for Moonshot ’69, and I didn’t speak out because I didn’t drink Moonshot ’69. Then they…
This week, we had, I believe, three blackouts in Girl Drink Drunk Land. Some Aters saw six according to Twitter reports, and yet another Ater offered that her home temp dropped from 70 to 56 degrees during one of the blackouts in the OED.So, I got to thinking about some…
There’s something way too special about the Mama’s Daughters’ original location on Irving Boulevard. It’s the perfect diner: great atmosphere, happy-snarky waitresses and an unspoken promise that when you leave, you’ll be stupid full of delicious food. (Bring your pie stomach. It’s game time.) I have an unholy love for…
A few milestones loom large in the sports world, so rare is the chance of their reoccurring. High on that list is the successful athlete-owned restaurant: Larry Bird, Johnny Unitas, George Brett and Dwyane Wade are among the many, many talented sports stars who couldn’t make a go of steak…
A few befuddled wine writers, trying to untangle the mystery of why more drinkers don’t demand Madeira, have posited the fortified wine’s been done in by a storied past. They wonder if tales of Benjamin Franklin knocking back bottles while negotiating the purchase of cannons to fend off Redcoats have…
