Handle The Proof: Champagne

By Dave Faries
You can find decent sparkling wines pretty much anywhere. And it's no real drain on the bank account to try out, say, a bottle of New Mexico's Gruet. But the splurge bottles--the vintage Champagnes--can run close to $500. No problem if you're a basketball star treating the live-in who's name...

Question Of The Week

By Dave Faries
Who is the best 'unknown' chef in Dallas?Some definition: By unknown we mean a chef who receives very little media attention. The chef's restaurant may be well known, mind you, but someone else gets all the press. An example might be Bartolino Cocuzza of Amici in Carrollton. So obviously by...

On The Range: Guisado

By Chris Meesey
What's in a name? Unless I miss my guess, the guy who first coined the expression must have been thinking about guisado, a Mexican branch of the stew family. Why is this the case? You can answer the question by trying a simple experiment. Think about beef stew. What images...

SMU Basketball = March Badness

By Richie Whitt
New Crum Center. Same crummy results. In Matt Doherty's first season as SMU basketball coach back in 2006-07, the Mustangs started 9-1. A victory at Oklahoma would've likely propelled the Ponies into the Top 25. Instead, SMU was humbled in Norman by 27 points, and it's been all drastically downhill since...

Attention K-Mart Shoppers: He’s Still a Thug

By Richie Whitt
I was waiting for Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban to apologize. But to CBS 11 camerman Bill Ellis, not Kenyon Martin's mom. He issued an "I'm sorry" to her? For what exactly?! As you probably know by now, I detest peer-pressure, politically correct apologies. I'm not suggesting Cuban's cyber-sorry to Lydia...

Craig Watkins is ready for his closeup

By Mark Donald
Screen cred: Buzz couldn't help but wince a bit when we got the advance DVD copy of Dallas DNA, Investigation Discovery's new six-part series that adds to the growing legend that is Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins. It took Henry Wade decades in office to achieve the status of...

On The Range: Chicken Tortilla Soup

By Chris Meesey
Mexican cooks reuse leftovers like nobody's business. Consider the plight of the frugal family in days of yore, north or south of the border. The basics of life--shelter and food--are not certainties. Since the beginning of farming, rural families learned not to toss any part of a plant or animal...

A Case For Air Guitar

By Darryl Smyers
Like many before him, Jeff Morrison lives out his rock star fantasies in the privacy of his own home, playing with an imaginary guitar while pretending to be Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton or just about any other guitar hero. Unlike most, however, Morrison doesn't worry about what his friends think—and...

The GPS Is Hard To Read

By Daniel Daugherty
Based on his writings, it's tough to pin down Fareed Zakaria's point of view. At times he sounds like an apologetic voice for U.S. imperialism--he initially supported the invasion of Iraq--but lately he's focused on the rise of Asia as the beginning of a multi-polar, "post-American" economic order. As a...

Après Le Deluge, a Trinity Tour

By Jim Schutze

Veggie Girl: On Vegan Cheese

By Alexa Schirtzinger
(Not a fairytale. More like a Greek tragedy.) I've spent my fair share of time in fun non-office jobs, such as ski instructor, whitewater rafting guide, sea kayak instructor, vegetable farmer, etc. So I feel I'm qualified to make this call: An office is a truly wonderful place. For one...
