When Oddfellows brought in chef Anastacia Quiñones to introduce a dinner menu, Bishop Arts had no idea what it was in for. The all-day-breakfast diner, famous for coffee, waffles and hipster patrons, is now even better at dinnertime, with a list of light, veggie-focused dishes that pair perfectly with springtime…
Dallas is no stranger to the pop-up dinner, a recurring trope used by everyone from chefs hosting illicit cannabis dinners to buzzy restaurants expanding into the Dallas market. But as with many dining trends, our suburban neighbors often get left out of the fun. While Dallas residents are enjoying Brooklyny-burgers…
Leading up to September’s Best of Dallas® 2017 issue, we’re sharing (in no particular order) our 100 Favorite Dishes, the Dallas entrées, appetizers and desserts that really stuck with us this year. It’s one of those dishes that, when you translate its name into English, doesn’t sound entirely exciting: soft tofu…
Just after sunrise this morning, Victoria Ferrell-Ortiz went to El Corazon de Tejas — or rather the building that used to be El Corazon de Tejas, as the restaurant closed April 30 — to deliver a message in the form of a hand-painted sign she hung on the vacant building’s…
In 2012, Ascension Coffee opened its first location next to Meddlesome Moth in the Design District, and the cafe has taken a full steam ahead approach ever since, opening a roastery about a mile away in 2014 and a second cafe in the Crescent in 2016. Ascension clearly doesn’t plan…

Dallas, it’s time to let go of the Moscow Mule. We get it; it’s light and refreshing with a gingery bite, and it’s on damn near every cocktail menu in the city. But as the Dallas drink scene evolves, it’s time our palates did, too. Here are five cocktails you…

For patrons of the Bishop Arts neighborhood’s short-lived wine shop, WinePoste, spring has been a time of dramatic change. The bacchanalian murals stretching across the walls came down, replaced by stark white. The record player that spun classic rock and soul music disappeared. And the name changed to Neighborhood Cellar…
All-American is a series that looks at beloved, longstanding North Texas eateries and examines their history while exploring how the food has changed – for the good or bad – over the years. It may not be a well known instrument, but you can, in fact, measure time using provolone…
It is an endearing human trait that only seems more prominent as social media dominates more of our lives: People will do a lot of crazy things to raise money and awareness for a cause they feel strongly about. Biking 150 miles for multiple sclerosis, dumping a bucket of ice…
The only thing improper about Proper Baking Co. is that their baked goods aren’t available at all bars at all times. For a few hours this Thursday, however, their sweet and savory baked goods ($3-$8 each) will be available for purchase at Craft Beer Cellar Dallas. So grab a pint…
Another year, another sensational new taco restaurant on Singleton Avenue. The story of West Dallas is one of gentrification, generational change, young politicians clashing with old and a “restaurant theme park” that changed everything. But another part of the story, and a less flippant part than it might sound, is…
More than 40 years ago, a restaurant and bar by the name of Chelsea Corner took up residence on the corner of McKinney and Monticello. It was adopted by SMU students, area residents and workers alike as a beloved neighborhood hangout, a place where you could grab a slice of…

While restaurants around North Texas have been moving toward producing even the smallest facets of their menu in-house, in suburbs like Frisco, it’s not always been easy to find a restaurant that truly cooks from scratch. The Heritage Table looks to pioneer this trend in the area, and they’ve taken on…
Nollowa is a hidden dive. The lights are low, the Cowboys game is always on, none of the beers are on draft, bottles of Johnnie Walker appear in front of you and seemingly every customer is looking for some action. Also, the bar’s kitchen serves spicy octopus and chicken feet…
When it comes to designer burgers, a good one is a high-wire act. Add too many overwrought ingredients – and a high price – and you’ll end up with a pretentious sandwich that sends you running to the nearest In-N-Out. Too few ingredients and you’ll wonder why you’re dropping twenties…
Pho is served at La Me, but not too many people seem to order it. This restaurant, on the far northeastern edge of Dallas adjoining Richardson and Garland, is one of the most popular gathering places among Dallas County’s population of more than 26,000 Vietnamese-Americans. At mealtimes, La Me buzzes…
If you’ve ever worked a job that you hate, you know how unfulfilling it can be spending hour after hour trying to stop day-dreaming scenarios in which your life hadn’t led you to this point. A couple years ago, Ben Owen and Brolen Jourdan found themselves in just this situation…
Lucia sous chef Justin Holt’s pop-ups are damn-near famous in the Dallas food scene. Whether he’s serving up late-night ramen bowls from an Oak Cliff bar or yakitori from a Bishop Arts sidewalk, his pop-ups draw long lines of enthusiastic diners. And rightly so – Holt’s pop-ups don’t happen often,…
