The last stop on the A-Train line will host “Friday Night Bites” this weekend. The event marks the return and expansion of late Friday night service of the DCTA train that runs from the Trinity Mills DART station to Denton six days a week. Food trucks will gather in the…
Tom Dozier stood over the small stockpot with a glass lid and paused in anticipation. He’d been simmering the rusty red stew for three hours, but waited for a precise moment on his watch to carefully lift the lid. Several other chili-heads, myself included, leaned over the Coleman stove in…
I’m kind of a sneaky bitch. I happen to work in the Quadrangle in Uptown (AKA The Quad — yep, I’m still trying to make that one happen), so as the British Beverage Company (or BBC) has been building out the gutted, cavernous remains of the former Hully and Mo,…
Remember the upscale doughnuts at Rosemont? Tracy Miller drops a dense batter in hot oil, resulting in pastries that resemble a sweet, fresh version of the cake doughnuts you buy in bags at the grocery store. The doughnuts at East Hampton Sandwich Company in Snider Plaza are served in a…
The SoupMan, made famous by the “No soup for you!” line on Seinfeld, is now being delivered fresh from Al Yeganeh’s soup kitchen near Hell’s Kitchen in New York City to local Tom Thumb grocery stores. OK, maybe that’s not the exact logistics, but it’s close. After years of work,…
The Great American Beer Festival in Denver earlier this month drew 49,000 brew-lovers thirsty to sample more than 4,000 beers from 580 different brewers. A few Dallas brewers made the trip, including Deep Ellum Brewing Co., gold medal winner Peticolas and Chris Rigoulot, who will open Noble Rey Brewing Co…
Just over a year ago last September, Private Social opened to a red carpet affair and the adulation of Dallas diners. A review printed weeks later in The Dallas Morning News agreed with the public and chef Tiffany Derry earned four stars despite a mention of the deafening dining room…
Have you been outside today? While things may feel a little overcast over at the State Fair on account of Big Tex’s mishap, the rest of Dallas is bright and sunny with a cool, fall breeze. It’s time to kick off our weekends, but first there’s a week to wrap…
Spreading my barbecue wings (geddit!) this week, I ventured to the highly recommended Omi Korean BBQ in Carrollton for an all-you-can-eat spectacular feast. I was very excited, envisioning as I was a huge stack of barbecued meat that I could insert in my face without damaging the City of Ate…
Everyone has their own hangover cure they love to gush about, but they all suck. Most involve a greasy meal, something hydrating, and if you’re lucky, a nap, but while they may temporarily cause the worst symptoms to abate for a short time, inevitably, you’re eventually right back where you…
Nancy Nichols reported Wednesday afternoon that Kathleen’s Sky Diner on Lovers Lane abruptly closed. Lock-out notices were posted to the front door. This spot originally opened in 1988 by husband and wife team Robert and Kathleen Ellington, the latter who is the baker for the dessert-inclined restaurant. Back in November…
On this day, we lost a fried hero. This morning, Big Tex caught on fire at the State Fair of Texas. Twitter lit up with jokes about as quickly as Tex did. I guess we all grieve differently. See also: Big Tex Burned Down Today at the State Fair Alice…
Ah yes, Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. The snack with its own spicy cult of people with stained fingers and horrible breath is in the cross-hairs of school officials in several states, according to CBS News. The snack, with a reported one gazillion grams of saturated fat and a shit ton of…
If you’ve ever tried to snap a photo of your dinner plate in a dark dining room you know it can be difficult to make things look as delicious as they taste. For full reviews I have a professional photographer, but when I’m out and about on my own time,…
I don’t know how else to say it, y’all. There’s been a veritable stampede of new celebuchef restaurants saddling up to compete for diners’ dollars in this town. McCallister’s FT 33, Tesar’s Spoon and now Pyles’ Stampede 66 are all as big of a deal as the famous chefs behind…
Tu-Lu’s Gluten Free Bakery opened its second Dallas location in the West Village on Thursday. The tiny, bubblegum-pink bakery serves up loads of gluten-free treats from cupcakes and cake balls to coffee cake, quiche and even paninis. We stopped in for a quick peek and snapped some photos of the…
Cici’s Pizza grease buffet is an American favorite, according to Nation’s Restaurant News. The article cites a study conducted by Market Force, a consumer research company based in Colorado. Other American favorites covered in the survey include Papa John’s, Papa Murphy’s and Take ‘N’ Bake Pizza…
When the Singh family moved to Dallas in the ’80s, kulfi was hard to come by. If they wanted the frozen Indian dessert that’s similar to ice cream they had to make it themselves, a process that entailed boiling milk down until it was concentrated, adding flavorings and then freezing…
I went to the Meddlesome Moth on a whim yesterday for the Wednesday special tapping, without having looked up the beer to be featured. It turned out to be Left Hand Chainsaw Ale, about which I knew not a thing. I was about to Google it, and then decided it…
If you haven’t been to Monica’s Nueva Cocina, the subject of this week’s review, you should probably get around to it soon. Not that you have to hurry. Monica’s been cooking up restaurants in Dallas for more than two decades now, and something tells me her latest offering will be…
Jack’s Southern Comfort Food recently opened and owner Scott Jones has delivered on his promise of from-scratch biscuits topped with a pinch of Southern hospitality. Stepping into this corner spot along Lower Greenville Avenue (1905 Greenville) reminded me of quaint restaurant on a Main Street in a small town, replete…
Qariah Lebanese Restaurant and Lounge is coming soon to 1811 Greenville Ave. Per their Facebook page, a grand opening is slated for October 22. The menu includes everything one would imagine a Lebanese restaurant would offer: baba ghannouj, hummus, falafel, pies, shawarma, kabab, lamb and much more. All sounds good…
