I encountered the fritter during my second visit to LUCK, the casual eatery featuring 40 taps of beer that opened in Trinity Groves last year. I'd just slogged my way through a lackluster meal and was expecting the same from the desserts as I talked my order out with my...
Looking back, I think I had been scared to try smoking a brisket. Having never seen chunks of meat that size back home, it's a scary commitment for two reasons. One, you can't eat a brisket by yourself. That means you have to invite people round for brisket. This has...
With the appointment of Governor Rick Perry's former chief of staff to the Public Utility Commission, it seemed all but assured that we were headed toward a multi-billion-dollar subsidy for electricity generators -- an energy tax based on questionable assumptions about how much juice Texas will actually need in the...
One of the first lines of Angel Olsen's critically acclaimed sophomore effort, Burn Your Fire For No Witness, is, "Here's to thinking that it all meant so much more." Don't let her soft wailing and palpable yearning for answers to mind-haunting questions fool you. To assume that this is just...
The revelation last year that Dallas City Hall, in an effort to help its benefactors at Yellow Cab, was quietly working to put Uber out of business sparked a massive public outcry. Transportation hearings have turned into a referendum on the taxi industry. Uber has been called racist. And it's...

Hunched over a table at a Jack in the Box, Kevin Woods doesn't look much like a cowboy. No hat, no belt buckle, no boots, not a horse in sight. Here, tucked between a cluster of warehouses and a bustling urban highway, is about as far from the open range...
By now you know which Game of Thrones character and politician and root vegetable your Facebook friends would be, or at least which one they would like people to think of them as. And we appreciate that sort of information here at DC9 at Night. After all, that's why we're...
I'm not a designer. A glimpse inside my own home would reveal that while I may have amassed a collection of relatively nice things, they in no way work well together. It's as if a half dozen furniture catalogues were tossed into a blender and my living room was constructed...
Nestled on the corner of Zang and Beckley, just over the bridge into Oak Cliff, sits restaurateur and venue owner Chris Jeffers' newest acquisition. With Outpost American Tavern, Jeffers and his business partners (who also own Bolsa, Smoke and The Foundry) decided to deliver something new and different to the...
With thousands of fans expected to flood Arlington in April for the NCAA Final Four, there couldn't be a better time for you to finally open that ticket-scalping business you've always dreamed of, sell your famous canned chili dogs to random people on the sidewalk or try hosting an Occupy...
If you haven't made it yet to Bonchon, the Korean sports bar with the unbelievably sticky-sweet-spicy fried chicken, you're going to have to wait a little longer. The restaurant has only been open for a week, but today, via its Facebook page, management announced that they'll be shutting down temporarily...

This week there are a couple exciting pieces of local music news worth mentioning before I let y'all get out there and be great this weekend. First of all, the reopening of RBC is upon us. This Friday and Saturday the punks, metalheads and hardcore kids will return to their...
Bacon blew up the Internet again. A quick Google search for "bacon" and "infertility" will produce a whole slew of articles and blog posts pointing to the results of a fertility study that were recently presented at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine Conference in Boston. Researchers evaluated the eating...
A wise man -- or, more precisely, a wiseass trucker named Jack Burton -- once opined that "it’s all in the reflexes." Few actors have had better ones than Kurt Russell, who makes a welcome return to theaters this weekend in The Art of the Steal. Having been largely MIA...
The decades-long alliance between the city's best local news station and its only daily newspaper is over. NBC 5 reported yesterday that it has teamed up with The Dallas Morning News and that the two outlets "will join together on important content like weather, politics and breaking news" in print,...
Conservative agent provocateur James O'Keefe's latest undercover video sting seemed to feed the narrative that Democrats just go around constantly making fun of Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott's wheelchair. This is what O'Keefe is good at: Using hidden cameras to film targets, then editing the hell out of the footage...
Dallas Police Chief David Brown has started coming down hard on officers who are too quick to resort to deadly force. He fired senior corporal Amy Wilburn, who shot an unarmed carjacking suspect last month. Same with Carden Spencer, the cop who opened fire on a mentally ill man in...

If we're going to talk about sandwiches, which, we promise we will, then we'd be negligent to exclude the Cuban. And in a land where there's a lot of chatter about proper sandwiches, we just don't hear enough about the sandwiches from the island a-skip-and-a-hop south of Florida. See Also:...

Break A Sweat. Get Cultured.
After a frack job is complete, can we be certain that the energy industry is taking care to ship the oil as safely as possible? Two United States senators are gently questioning that as a series of crude oil train explosions have made the news. On December 30, a crude...
Driving on LBJ Freeway while it's under construction is pure misery. Living next to it, as Laraine Schaffer and her neighbors have discovered over the past three years, is pure hell. Schaffer's home is in the 12000 block of High Meadow Drive in far Northwest Dallas, a street that backs...
