Last September, it became obvious to Kelly Yandell that the traditional school model wasn’t working for her 11-year-old son Ford. “I have one of those boys who just wasn’t created to sit still, who wasn’t created to be super-organized at the age of 11, who is smart and funny and…
In this week’s food news, franchises expand, Lower Greenville gets sweeter and Rex’s Seafood shutters two of its three locations: Joy Macarons’ second location in Lower Greenville is finally open at 1927 Greenville Ave., which means macaron-lovers can get their fancy cookie on in the evenings, as this location stays…

The Grape’s latest iteration of their monthly wine dinner features special guest host Jason Charles of Glazers. We’re pretty sure the dinner, titled Come as You Are, doesn’t have anything to do with Kurt Cobain. Unless, that is, the grunge rocker was a fan of Italian wine, in which case…
In case you haven’t stopped by lately, things have changed at the Dallas Farmers Market. The open-air stalls reflect the market’s new focus by providing locally sourced produce, while The Shed acts as an indoor food hall and shopping venue for purveyors who deal in all things fashionable, from bone…
On the first day, God made … what was it again? Well on the last day, he made bacon. And the day after that, he made bourbon. Nickel and Rye put them together and made something heavenly. Nickel and Rye’s Maple Bacon Manhattan is an incredibly simple yet flavorful way…
Steamed sandwiches and cocktails are Knuckle Sandwich’s thing, but when I arrive on the first day of the Lower Greenville spot’s lunch service, I’m on a mission for the burger. The Knuckle Burger ($13) is prime beef topped with two slices of smoked Gouda, fresh bibb lettuce, an extravagant heirloom…
You’ll have to go around the back for some of the best ribs west of I-35. The front entrance didn’t fit in with Mike Shannon’s redesigned floorplan when he moved in and added his name to what had been Real Pit Barbecue in 2007. But if you find your way to…
All in all, 2015 was a banner year for craft beer in the DFW area, with several breweries opening across the region. Not to be outdone, 2016 is turning out to be yet another great year for the craft beer boom happening across the country. It seems like each month…
Garza Foods is a fiercely local restaurant that opened a few months ago in the Medical District. The owners adapted their hyperlocal ways after living in Seattle, where it wasn’t just important to buy local, but to buy from your own neighborhood. This food is really more Mex-Tex than Tex-Mex…
With restaurants like Nonna and Carbone’s under his belt, it’s no surprise that Julian Barsotti’s latest restaurant has been seeing some brisk business, thanks in no small part to the fact that Sprezza offers a different perspective on the Italian food Dallas diners already love. About a month ago, Barsotti…
By now, North Texas is well aware that Spiral Diner — the long-running vegan diner with locations in Oak Cliff and Fort Worth — makes great food. This meat-free, egg-free, dairy-free food isn’t just great for vegan food, it’s just plain great, even if you’re an omnivore. Every month, they…

Every neighborhood needs a good, friendly French spot — not necessarily a fancy jacket-and-tie palace of cuisine, but a bistro where wine flows freely amid the sound of friends getting lunch-drunk. Bouchon 1314, a new restaurant with walls of wine and painted murals in the style of a century-old Paris…
East Dallas is really having a moment right now, and now that moment includes pizza.

For 40 years, Dallas residents knew where they could go for a basket of warm rolls and a plate of chicken-fried steak and gravy. For those in Oak Lawn, driving past the shuttered flagship Black-Eyed Pea caused a twinge of pain. With Phil Cobb, Gene Street (Good Eats Cafe, Lucky’s)…
Last week, Heim BBQ made ESPN and a host of other local and national news outlets when the Fort Worth barbecue spot offered Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor free barbecue for life after he infamously punched Toronto Blue Jays right fielder Jose Bautista.

But neither has encroached on Lee’s Bar-B-Q in Haslet — not yet, anyway. If you last walked into owner, operator, pitmaster…
A very particular kind of pop-up dinner is coming to Dallas June 16-18 — one where diners will eat a vegetarian meal together in a pitch-black room. The Blind Cafe is a “positive social change organization that uses the concept of darkness to create innovative and imaginative (pop-up) events held…
Patio season is upon us … blah blah blah. That line’s been the intro for every article/blog post/Instagram caption for the last month and a half, but in Dallas, patio season is fleeting; great cocktails are not. I stopped into Y.O. Ranch Steakhouse in the West End for a quick…
