Just a few weeks ago, CrushCraft Thai was but an artist’s rendition, a hazy picture that served Thai food only in our minds after we’ve reclined into our couches and … never mind. But now Jack Nuchkasem and chef Paul Singhapong have sent real photographs. They’ve offered a glimpse of…
The latest stage in Phil Romano’s quest to take over the culinary universe is the planned opening of Sushi Bayashi, a casual sushi bar. Late last night, the Morning News scooped the latest addition to the gamut of fine dining at Trinity Groves. Romano is describing it as “an everyday…
This weekend McKinnney-based craft brewery Franconia shared a link to an article from Blog About Beer about the top five beers in the world. I’m imagining a monk in a cave in a forgotten forest in Bavaria who just released a beer graced with angel tears. Or specks of unicorn…
Remember this summer when Frankie’s closed? You were sad for four seconds and then you went back to browsing cat videos on Facebook. Or maybe your reaction was so devoid of emotion because you were secretly hoping the defunct sports bar would be replaced with something more interesting — that…
And while we suggest you avoid calling the day “cheesy,” we’ve compiled a list of ways to celebrate the fake food holiday. Because this is a food blog.

Newsflash: Kids are annoying (not your precious little angels, though). And yet, parents like to eat at restaurants with them. Sometimes this works out and sometimes it doesn’t, for a number of reasons. Perhaps the kids are hungry, sleepy, they peed themselves, or are just tiny baby assholes. Or perhaps…
Chivalry isn’t dead. It’s just lurking near the aisle with all the vegan whey products. A video making the Internet rounds shows Vladimir Romannikov proposing to his girlfriend, Monica Dehombre, at a Whole Foods in South Florida.

Crave DFW, the popular restaurant-news site, has been unusually quiet this week, and now we know why: Steven Doyle, the site’s founder, was arrested this week in Farmers Branch on outstanding warrants and drug charges. He’s currently being held on multiple bonds. According to the arrest report, Doyle was pulled…
An important thing to remember about science is that, like a good soap opera, it’s never really finished. No issue is really settled as long as there are more people capable of asking more questions and doing more research. This is a good thing. It’s what keeps us from accepting…
In Happy Endings, food critic Scott Reitz travels part of the globe that says “Dallas” in search of great desserts and great places to eat them. This is the third in an occasional series. “This has been on your menu for a long time hasn’t it?” I asked my waiter,…

Back in November we told you about FoodFumble, a bare-bones mobile application that lets users search for the health department’s food safety scores awarded to area restaurants. Frisco resident Noel Geren created the app to help users make more informed dining decisions. The only problem was the app could only…
Yesterday, Chef Eric Shelton and designer Stefania Morandi were announced as the two creative minds behind the next iteration of Kitchen LTO.
