• Spam-ming The City; Maximo Effort

  Don't call it McSushi, but finding a reasonably priced roll in the DFW area is about to get really, really easy. A restaurant with the convenience of fast food and low price points of grocery store sushi, Wylie-born Avocado California Roll & Sushi is already rolling for our neighbors in Denton, Irving and Frisco. And, it's coming our way this weekend. Avocado serves Asian staples like miso soup, udon noodles and edamame in addition to a wide selection of rolls. Like its siblings, the new

  Mattito's6129 W. Main St., Frisco214-872-3411There's one key difference between the original Dallas operation and its Frisco counterpart: location.And before you finish that "no shit, Sherlock" response, allow me to explain. In this case, location refers to mindset more than anything else. Mattito's famed Uptown restaurant is neatly camouflaged by other structures and thus nearly invisible from the street. Besides, the confluence of Cedar Springs, Cole and Routh leaves little opportunity to look

• 10 Questions: Tracey Maddox

  She pours beers at Frisco's bit of Ireland, otherwise known as Lochrann's. That, of course, means pint after pint (well, not pint--it's the U.S.--but you get the point) of Guinness, that time-consuming, two-stage pour. Fortunately, Lochrann's owner worked for the famous Irish brewery for 15 years. So Maddox and her colleagues are never allowed to serve a flawed pour. No matter. The Richardson native has been bartending for a decade now. Anything you throw at her, she can handle--even when t

• Revolving Doors: A Month To Remember?

  We were trying to think of any significant restaurant closings in Dallas over the last 30 days and nothing, besides that odd moment when Kavala in Oak Cliff shut down then reopened almost immediately. So, we had to call our buddy Teresa Gubbins and pry into her database-like brain.Thanks TG.Just glancing at the balance of comings and goings in Dallas, it's hard to believe there's a recession on. A few cases of swine flu are responsible for more closings--just schools, but still...A recap of the

And I must say, teenage life in Frisco is really, really scandalous. Their hushed innuendos repeatedly burst into group cackles that would drown out a Fox News "debate."The place is cute enough to stock Twinkies, Zingers, Sno-Balls and other adolescent favorites in storage jars. Oh, it's cute. They tack

• The Other North Pole: A Washington Post Writer's Book About Christmas in Frisco

   This is probably a way-too-early heads-up, but I just opened the afternoon mail to find a copy of Tinsel: A Search for America's Christmas Present, due on bookshelves 'round November 12 -- just in time for all your gift-giving needs. And, trust me, those living up in Collin and Denton counties will want to take particular note of the tome, penned by Washington Post Style section writer Hank Stuever -- because, see, the whole thing's set in Frisco, where the Oklahoma City native lived on an

Tomorrow night he's got a signing at the Barnes & Noble in Stonebriar Centre; on Wednesday, he'll be at Legacy Books in Plano; the day after, at Barnes & Noble near the TCU campu

• Tinsel Author Hank Stuever Pays One Last Visit to Frisco and Does Not Sit On Santa's Lap

  ​I sent Hank Stuever, author of Tinsel, an e-mail this morning to see how his trip back to Frisco had gone this week (he wraps up a three-day stay with a signing in Fort Worth tonight before he heads down to Austin). He responded thusly: "It was great -- no effigy-burning or anything. People came very curious, ready with questions, and bought books. Sort of anti-climatic in a way, but also nicely crowded, esp Legacy Books." He said he'd try to put something longer on his blog today. He then se
