This isn't going to be a popular theory. In this knee-jerk, dog-pile news cycle, it's chic and easy and lazy to call the Dallas Cowboys overrated. To label them underachievers. To say they are perpetually hyped yet eternally flawed. To pronounce them—at only 0-2—dead before Big Tex's first "Howdy, folks."...
Speaking of mash-ups, it seems Datahowler (formerly Objektiv One), though now a chillwave artist, hasn't given up on the mash-up front where he originally made his name and caught our attention. Earlier this month, the man born Ross Edman debuted two new mash-ups (one pitting Kanye West against Stars; another...

We warned you in early June, when the Dallas Independent School District crunched some TAKS test scores and released its list of exemplary and recognized schools well ahead of the Texas Education Agency's official date of, well, today: Those numbers were very preliminary.

Two minutes in and you begin to realize this much: With each extra chew, every labored swallow, with every passing second, you're losing. To your right, they're eating much faster than you are. They are shoveling the food in hand over hand, and so are you, or at least trying...
As a countdown to the Dallas Observer's "Best of Dallas" 2010, City of Ate is serving up 100 of the favorite dishes we crave, savor and hope to scarf down again soon. These dishes are in no particular order. Some are little known, others celebrated. Some are pricey, others can...
I don't know if area photographer David Wilson just has too much time on his hands or what, but, for whatever reason, he found it necessary to cover Sarah Jaffe's "Clementine" using a ukulele and a room full of synths--and no vocals, thankyouverymuch. Kinda does a bang-up job, too. Jaffe,...
Denton's Teenage Cool Kids have been tinkering away on their highly anticipated follow-up to last year's Foreign Lands, an album we not only adored among last year's crop, but that we also named as one of the area's best releases of the '00s.And, actually, it seems like they're closer to...

Carl's Jr., in its infinite wisdom, has developed a foot-long cheeseburger. Like Burger King's BK Shots, this is another burger innovation beyond the limits of imagination. Clearly, human minds will be puzzling over this long-food-meat and bun invention for some time. While scientists dabble in supernatural wonder, we'd like to...
On a recent grocery shopping excursion to Central Market Dallas, Roasted was pleasantly surprised when we rounded a corner near the bulk foods section and spotted a display on an end cap stocked with one-pound bags of fresh-roasted beans from Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters. The display was next to the...
So, I'm sitting there watching Idol, getting ready for the results portion (which also generally includes already-famous people performing songs that I'm sure the contestants would much rather watch when they're not waiting to find out if they're "safe"), with Seacrest being all dramatic and shit, when I heard the...
Since January 17, Tonja Bigelow-Brown has died three times. She died first on an operating table at Medical City Dallas, where surgeons cut her open to find the source of an E.coli bacterial infection that caused her fallopian tubes to rupture. She was revived that night, waking briefly out of...
