Erykah Badu & the Cannabinoids Granada Theater Friday, January 20 First of all, props to Erykah Badu for putting on close to a two-hour show while wearing those boots. Those amazing white boots with a stiletto heel that looked like modified ice skates and haunted my dreams. Just after midnight,...

Delia Pisarro is a meat eater. She's also a business woman. So when she opened Pure, her small Greenville Avenue Cafe in 2003, it wasn't for her love of coconuts and kale. It was because she saw an opportunity. "Nobody else was doing it," Pisarro says. On the coasts, sure:...

On my first pilgrimage to Deep Ellum's Black Swan Saloon, I walked right past the place, thinking the small, windowed room was just an extension of La Grange. There's no sign to speak of; I had to consult my iPhone ("Siri, where the fuck am I?") and double back to...

Formed by twin brothers John and Chuck Panozzo way back in 1961, The Trade Winds were just another bar band from Chicago. Changing the name to Styx helped their fortunes somewhat, but it wasn't until Tommy Shaw joined in 1975 that things really started to happen. After that, Styx started...
Just about everyone knows that John Tesar has a pretty bang up burger at the Commissary. Those grass-fed patties get treated like a Park Cities trophy wife at the spa, bathing sous vide until cooked rare before receiving a final sear on the grill. Toppings are always top shelf --...
