• Dude Food: Cousin's Barbeque

  Cousin's Barbeque Various locations I don't think a Texas barbecue place does itself any favors by boasting that it's a favorite of an Ivy League, blue-blood Yankee, but Cousin's Web site brags about serving George H.W. Bush. Had I known that before trying the food, I'd have been a tad skeptical. But on this occasion, even the most dubious of Cousin's endorsements--that of EuroDisney, seriously--couldn't have deterred us. It was my father-in-law's 60th birthday party. Nothing less than Cousi

• 10 Questions: Former Presidents

  OK, OK--a gimmick for Inauguration day. Give us a break. The President gets a personal chef, state dinners and could probably walk out of any restaurant in the country without paying. Of course, there have been some notorious culinary moments: The competent Bush puking all over his Japanese counterpart, Andrew Jackson offering ice cream to the masses...who then trash the residency, Carter biting the head off a live--nah. Anyway let's just pretend we sat down with former White Hou

• The 2009 Starting Pitcher for Your Texas Rangers: Dubya

    This is not the time to talk politics. It's the time to talk baseball. I'll put my liberal left leaning on hold today because the Texas Rangers have announced - no surprise - that former Prez and former co-owner George W. Bush will throw out the first pitch before next Monday's season opener against the Cleveland Indians at Rangers Ballpark. Now, this would really be a coup if Ron Washington could coax a quality six innings out of Dallas' newest resident. Instead, he'll probably le

• Stories Of Misconduct

  Every once in awhile I wonder just why some people are keen to lavish praise on restaurant owners. Yeah, I know--the Food Network and those in the media who promote the celebrity chef idea share a portion of the blame. But many of the folks who dine regularly simply don't wish to peer behind the curtain and find just what kind of men and women are responsible for our favorite places.At best, they are ordinary, hard working entrepreneurs. But the weekend's revelations about two local restaurant n

• What Summer Vacation?

  School's out for summer, but the Dallas Independent School District's board of trustees has one hellacious evening ahead of it, beginning with a 5 p.m. public hearing at 3700 Ross Avenue concerning the proposed 2009-'10 school year budget. After that's done, it's down to big business, some of which has been processed elsewhere, as in: The board will vote whether to give $2 million to Academic Success Program, and Lori Stahl's story today suggests that perhaps Superintendent Michael Hinojosa, who

• If Nothing Else, You Can Always Go to Booker T. to Watch Obama's Speech With Ron Kirk

  ​A few minutes ago, I spoke to Dallas Independent School District spokesman Jon Dahlander concerning his voice-mail message this morning. I wondered if today's decision, to let teachers and principals decide whether their classes could watch President Obama's speech to students on Tuesday, was a change from any kind of previous policy in place regarding the talk. As it turns out, Dahlander says, the speech "wasn't even on the radar till yesterday," when district officials began hearing that so
