Best Mussels

Toulouse Café and BarIf it was a brave man who ate the first oyster, imagine the cojones on the guy who slurped down the first mussel. Its shell, black and pointy, opens to reveal an orange, amorphous mass of meat. Sometimes the smell ain’t so great either. But put enough culinary goop on it, spice it and butter […]

The 10 Worst Quarterbacks in Dallas Cowboys’ History

By Richie Whitt
Holy hell, he's even worse than we thought. Giants Stadium has long been a house of horrors and horseshit for Dallas Cowboys’ quarterbacks. Hall of Famer Troy Aikman threw a career-high five interceptions in New Jersey in 2000. In ’01 backup Clint Stoerner topped that by tossing four picks in...

Best Ice Cream

Natsumi Gelato and Frozen YogurtThere’s a scene from 1971’s Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory in which Charlie and company taste Wonka’s new lickable wallpaper while he boasts, “Lick an orange, it tastes like an orange. Lick a pineapple, it tastes like a pineapple. Go ahead, try it!” Ol’ Willy Wonka was onto something—not the lickable wallpaper necessarily, but […]

The Sidney Lumet of Lower Greenville

By Robert Wilonsky
Sure, it's a day-off Monday, but that doesn't mean we can't kick off the week with an Avi Adelman Production. Because, sure enough, the Antoine Fuqua of Lower Greenville was yet again stalking the mean streets with his trusty video camera to prove that nothing good ever happens after 2...

Texadelphia Cuts the Mustard

By Alice Laussade
SMUchebag count: 6-8 Really good lemonade count: 1 I was so in the mood for some cheap wings and waffle fries the other day; so I drove my car on over to the Pluckers on Greenville, parked among all of Mom and Dad's hand-me-downed BMWs with SMU bumper stickers, and...

Double Facemask = Single Penalty

By Richie Whitt
I know the officials missed an earlier facemask on the Cowboys. I know that if the Cowboys' rush would contain Donovan McNabb none of it would matter. And I realize that I'm harping on the refs way more than usual. But this year there's supposed to be an emphasis on...

The South Rises Again

By Mark Stuertz
Screen Door bills itself—in the parlance of some of the finest whiskeys—as a blend, a melding of modern culinary wisdom with decades of tried-and-true grit from the hot, sticky South. The result is the modern Southern kitchen. But what does this mean? That's hard to decipher. The food isn't so...

Dem Southernfolkz

By Quia Querisma
With the blues-, rock- and gospel-tinged offerings on Dem Southernfolkz's debut release, The Message, the area hip-hop trio has immediately established itself as an impressive crew with a unique take on the genre. Sure, it's easy to liken the act to Nappy Roots, Goodie Mob and Outkast (in their "Southerplayalistic"...

By Megan Feldman
Just 5 feet tall, with a baby strapped to her chest and a soft, faltering voice, Kim Rivera is anything but soldierly. Yet two years ago she was a Texas private in the War on Terror, guarding a gate with an M4 rifle and frisking Iraqi civilians at a base...

Finally, Fairfield at Lovers Lane?

By Robert Wilonsky
I was looking at the City Plan Commission agenda for today's shindig -- where they're scheduled to vote on renaming Industrial Boulevard to Riverfront Boulevard, which seems so yesterday -- and was surprised to see at the very bottom "Fairfield at Lovers Lane." It's been about six months since last...

Synecdoche, New York

By Scott Foundas
If you traveled the length of John Malkovich's medulla oblongata, hung a sharp left at the desk where Beckett's Krapp recorded his last tape and walked through the adjoining door of the interstellar hotel room at the end of 2001, you might end up somewhere in the vicinity of Charlie...

Choke

By Robert Wilonsky
There's a whole lotta fucking going on in Choke, Clark Gregg's adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's first-person novel about a sex addict named Victor Mancini with severe Mommy issues—fucking in a cramped airplane bathroom, on a barnyard's itchy haystack, in a grimy toilet stall, in a hospital chapel even. There are...
