Let us now sing the praises of lamb. Maybe the most underrated of meats, it's richly flavorful, great on the grill and easy to serve a number of different ways. Few things look and taste as luxurious as a rack of lamb chops, but lamb is also an inspired addition...
Just looking at the map is striking. According to new data released by the U.S. Geological Survey, human activity is causing earthquake risk in areas that previously had basically no risk for seismic activity. The survey's new 2016 map shows natural risk, which for the most part cuts off just...
In case you haven't stopped by lately, things have changed at the Dallas Farmers Market.

When Arlington hip-hop artist Krum goes looking for a sound, he often seeks guidance from Rob Viktum. Last year, Krum hit Viktum up for something with a gospel vibe. As it turns out, Viktum had been waiting for him to ask. “He immediately sent me over a ridiculous track I fell in...
A new experimental musical playing in Exposition Park this month takes its name from a hidden track on Nirvana's Nevermind album. Arthur Peña, known for his work as a painter and as curator of the roving venue Vice Palace, wrote Endless/Nameless as an exploration of two types of death, the death of...
Micah Xavier Johnson, the man Dallas police say killed five officers in an ambush attack at a demonstration against police violence Thursday night, told officers he was not affiliated with any group or organization but was targeting white people and white police officers because he was upset about police shootings...
Carlo's Bakery (of Cake Boss fame) celebrated the grand opening of their first Dallas location in March. To get a cannoli on opening morning, you had to camp out overnight, leaving many people long-faced and pastryless. In the weeks that followed, long lines continued to wind through the bakery, sometimes...
Navy veteran Kate Cochran-Morgan starts her day in her usual way, with a little lawbreaking and a cup of coffee. Morning, she says, is the best time to smoke marijuana. It’s just a small amount of a medical-grade cannabis of the sort available now or soon in Colorado and 27...
Bucks Burnett isn't a journalist. He's a namedropper. He may not have met every one of his music idols, but he's met 90 percent of them. And he's here to tell you all about it, however he sees fit, is his monthly music column, Namedropper. There is no way to...

Maybe, Missy Bevers' killer was a woman. Maybe not. Maybe Bevers was singled out, hunted down after she made it clear where she'd be before sunrise Monday. Or maybe she walked in on a burglary. All of those possibilities are plausible and all have been cited by Bevers' family or...
Here's about as convincing an argument as I can imagine for the existence of the modern Hollywood blockbuster. Disney and Jon Favreau's The Jungle Book reinvigorates an oft-told tale with star power, technology and calculated charm. It's been billed as a live-action remake (it's too good to be called a...
Chromat!k and Zach Witness are almost inseparable. You can't really blame them: The rapper and producer, both 23 years old, met in high school and have been making music together almost as well. They've learned the craft together and they know each other's strengths. And with a new single, "Sad...
In theory, it's so simple — fresh fish, raw or nearly raw, chopped into beautiful square hunks and surrounded by equally fresh, crisp vegetables. But for such a simple dish, executing it at home isn't quite so easy. Sourcing high-quality fish that can easily be consumed uncooked isn't as easy...
Of Dallas ISD's 227 schools, eight are reasonably affluent, meaning half or less of their student populations are poor. Even then, to get to eight, one must count William B. Travis Academy (fourth and fifth grades) separately from William B. Travis Vanguard (sixth through eighth) even though they share a...
So do we love our cops here in Dallas or what? Will our cops be happy now that we’re about to agree to more pay for them? People who know a few things about police issues in Dallas say the same thing to both questions. Maybe not.

The second season of Amazon's Catastrophe might do for the #TGIF-style family sitcom of the late ‘80s and ‘90s what the first did for the ailing rom-com: open-mouthed resuscitation on the operating table after one too many Garry Marshall–fueled heart attacks like Valentine's Day. (Or New Year's Eve? It doesn't...
This time last year, we were already running out of superlatives to use for Leon Bridges and his overnight rise to stardom. Fortunately, there's been plenty more to get excited about in the first half of 2016, including a number of North Texas artists who seem poised to follow in...
With Zika at the forefront of the news, everyone's thinking about mosquitoes. The good news: There have been no local mosquito-borne transmissions of Zika virus in Texas to date, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC has identified 16 travel-associated cases of Zika in Dallas. ...
“Oh my god.” My friend Liz stopped mid-first-bite, her eyes wide, her face a picture of disbelief. “That might be the best chicken I’ve ever eaten.” We were on the patio at the Blind Butcher in late March, and our server had just told us about the restaurant’s brand-new smoked...
