In this week’s Dallas food news, Lake Highlands gets a new Alamo Drafthouse (and a Vetted Well along with it), a breakfast chain comes to DFW and a local ad agency doesn’t get mor chikin after all. The Dallas agency behind Chick-fil-A’s “eat mor chikin” campaign got the boot, Advertising…
I hadn’t felt it before, not truly, until last night. I’m twisting in the counter chairs in anticipation, ice-blasted mug full of root beer, old central air unit rattling above and it really struck me: Dairy-Ette is a Dallas treasure. I’ve been to the burger joint before. I’ve sat at…

Stepping into Cook Hall, the gastropub located downtown at the W Hotel, one cannot help but be impressed.

Earl’s 377 is a pizza oasis, a bright blossom in Argyle’s food desert. When this restaurant opened its doors in May, Argyle’s count of eateries increased by more than 10 percent. With pickings that slim, any restaurant would be a welcome sight. But Earl’s isn’t just any restaurant; it’s slinging…
