To say it’s been a tough year for restaurants is putting it hysterically lightly. After a year of transitioning to COVID-19 mandates and all that entailed, to finally seeing a glimmer of hope with the vaccine rollout, only to being walloped by a weather event of historical proportions, which included…

During the worst winter storm Dallas has seen in decades, Facebook users found a way to use their love of food to help their neighbors. Since last year, Facebook groups created to promote local restaurants have been doing so with great success. When power outages made food and heat hard…

Just before Valentine’s Day, many Texans were giddier about the prospects of snow than flowers or chocolates. We checked weather apps hourly for reassurances that we would, in fact, this time see some serious powder. Oh, the bliss of our naivety. As the snow rolled in, the power grid failed,…

One of the biggest differences between eating in Dallas and, say, Austin is Dallas’ relative lack of food trucks and trailers. Yes, our city has a few food truck parks, most notably at Klyde Warren Park. But if you’ve ever traveled to another city and enjoyed food trailers behind breweries,…

With many restaurants closed, lines at drive-thru joints stretched into the street and people huddled in the few open places with heat.

“Behind-the-scenes” isn’t a phrase you’d usually associate with flamboyant Food Network star Guy Fieri. But Fieri and his restaurants are literally behind the scenes as Guy Fieri’s Flavortown Kitchen rolls out ghost kitchens across the country with one already open in Southlake. The delivery-only restaurant operates out of Brio Italian…

(Note: We’re revisiting some of Brian Reinhart’s picks for our annual list of Top 100 Dallas Restaurants to see how they’re faring in what we hope are the final months of the pandemic.) Falafel. Crab cakes. Buffalo wings. Paneer. Escargot. They’re the foods of half the world, and they have…

Eleven months have passed since Dallas dining rooms closed in response to the arrival of the coronavirus. Some of them still haven’t reopened. A small group of restaurant owners have declined to resume dine-in service, instead sticking to takeout, curbside pickup, delivery or outdoor patios. Most of them operate very…

The iceman of local meteorologists, Pete Delkus, teased on Facebook Thursday: “If I told you how much snow I was seeing in my crystal ball on Monday you couldn’t handle it!” Monday we could see 10 inches of powder over 2 inches of ice — or it’ll bone-dry sunshine. When…

After a location shuffle at the end of the year, Lucia has restarted offering takeout dinners for pickup from the old Macellaio s pot at 287 North Bishop Ave. The dinners-to-go program offers one meal per week with optional add-ons, and the menu is posted on the website weekly by…

When Holly and Todd Kerr’s children were young, their go-to family restaurant was a Chili’s Too on Belt Line Road near their home in Coppell. When it closed, Holly told Todd it might be time for them to open their own restaurant. At least then they’d know there was a…

Let’s face it. If it wasn’t one already, Dallas is becoming a pizza lover’s paradise. Whether you want New York-style pizza or Detroit-style pies, Sicilian flavors or flavors from India, you can find a pie (or two or three) to satisfy your cravings. Need a gluten-free cauliflower crust or vegan…

Growing up in Coppell, Tyler Rooney didn’t pay much attention to the kitchen or envision himself as a baker at any point. When asked about his culinary exposure in his early years, he nonchalantly mentions that his mother took him to France every summer, where she’s originally from, and made…

We can’t say enough good things about fresh juices these days, and Dallas offers a wide array of places to get them. This month, if you pick up your favorite juice at Pressed Juicery, the beautiful label may catch your eye. To celebrate Black History Month, the company is sharing…
