Everything about Guy Fieri is big and boisterous, and has been that way ever since he walked off a winner in the Food Network’s second season of the Next Food Network Star. His voice’s volume and rasp call to mind an overworked cattle-auctioneer. His shock of hay-colored hair has only…
The “to” in farm-to-table will get plenty of attention at an upcoming conference hosted by the Texas Organic Farmers & Gardeners Association The theme of the group’s annual three-day conference, scheduled to start on January 28 in Killeen, is “Texas Farms Direct.” As the website explains it, “the conference will…
“Disheveled wait staff” is a cliché on Yelp! – people love to pluck away stars and blame the stained shirts, dirty fingernails, bad haircuts or collection of piercings glittering from a server’s face. But the worst, least appealing bits of the wait staff may be lurking in the dark crevices…
Yesterday, we gave you the goods on Jean-Marie Cadot, owner and executive chef of Cadot. Today, we asked Cadot to finish a few sentences for us. Tomorrow, he shares one of his recipes. (Cadot’s words are after the ellipses.) I was raised in…Paris My friends say I’m…a hard worker. They…

Kor-BQ, the Dallas area’s first purveyor of Korean-Mexican fusion tacos, has added quesadillas, or in this case, kuesadillas, to its menu.

Well, maybe you don’t want to eat this exactly: Hollow crawfish shells and dirty napkins make for a pretty lousy meal. But you definitely do want to eat what would have shown up in the “before” picture if I’d had the willpower to reach for my phone before digging into…
Crossroads Diner is located just off the corner of Walnut Hill Road and Central Expressway, which, in the world’s compendium of crossroads, is a pretty prosaic intersection.

Restaurant owners are growing increasingly excited about the prospects for breakfast pizza, but breakfast tacos don’t show any signs of making significant inroads nationally.

Just yesterday, Wayne Adams broke the sad news to the employees at the Metro Diner on Gaston Avenue: At the end of March, the 24/7 diner — one of Dallas’s greasiest, greatest institutions — will close. He has sold the property for reasons he says he will explain to us…

Last week, Japan McDonald’s debuted their Big America 2 campaign that featured four Hulk-fist sized, America-themed burgers. The four burgers, named Idaho, Manhattan, Miami, and Texas 2, clock in at more than 500 calories each, and range from nearly tasty-looking to mildly racist. As for our state’s burger, Hanna spoke…
