  Texas should be ashamed of itself.In the old days this state produced larger than life heroes--men like James Fannin, Clyde Barrow and "Hollywood" Henderson. But now, after two from the Bush clan (three if you count Neil), a Rove and the guys at Enron, all we can cling to is our national dish.And chicken fried steak creates another larger than life problem. Assuming the figure of 800,000 plus portions consumed per day by residents is correct, this 800 calorie mass of abused red meat adds some 1

  It's no mystery that we're a fan of sweet treats around these parts. And thanks to our last Best of Dallas issue, it's also no mystery that we dig on the Natsumi gelato. We've given props to the organic partially-organic gelato purveyor for hand-cranking flavors that taste so much like the real thing it's sorta dumbfounding at times.I go to Natsumi quite a bit in protest of this frozen yogurt craze that's sweeping the nation--yeah, I get the fat-free yogurt benefits, but gelato is so much more a

  Patrick MichelsWhen Charles de Gaulle famously moaned "how can anyone govern a nation that has 246 different kinds of cheese," the Frenchman who best defined national vainglory hoped to excuse political chaos in his country.Geez, the Germans manage orderly governance (and the occasional foray into France) with more than 1,200 different kinds of sausage.That's right, 1,200--baurwurst, braunschweiger, bockwurst, knockwurst, frankfurter, weisswurst...In the age before refrigeration, making sausage

  State Rep. Betty BrownThe Houston Chronicle has the story: Republican State Rep. Betty Brown, who reps Henderson and Kaufman counties, on Tuesday suggested during a House Elections Committee wingding that Asians might oughta "adopt a name that we could deal with more readily here." And KXAN-Channel 36 down in Austin has the video from the Voter ID hearing, during which Brown made the suggestion -- more than once -- to Austin attorney and Yale graduate Ramey Ko.

• 10 Questions: Erika Henderson

  Patrick Michels West Village is cool, sure. But after seven years as a cocktail waitress, Henderson has seen a lot of "cool" in a lot of places. The Social House waitress and bartender has been through just about everything--at Frankie's in Uptown, West End Pub, House of Blues...all around Dallas, really. Working the room and behind the bar, she gets to watch (and listen) as the city unwinds. For some reason, she still loves her work. Born in Dallas, she grew up in California and Cana

• Revolving Doors: July Was Hot

  ​Recession? There must be one, judging by our paychecks and news today that Lola planned to shut down. Still, July saw an unprecedented (even in boom times) wave of restaurant openings.Strange--July and August are not generally considered the best of months by those in the food service industry. Maybe rents were too cheap to pass up.Anyway, our slightly delayed round up of last month's doings.EnteringFlying Saucer, GarlandZinsky's DeliGeisha House (finally)15th Street Eatery, PlanoHacienda on

While pontificating about the recession--the fact that fewer people were going out to shows, that it's harder for the band's "artsy friends" to f

• Days Gone Bite: Blue Plate Specials

  ​Driving around Dallas last week I came across an abandoned concrete structure with block glass inlays and "restaurant" painted across the front. It was like spotting an original streamline diner--different construction materials, I know, but the rounded corners and crumbling Art Deco era touches inspire the same flush of nostalgia. From the looks of it, this had been a bus station back in the 1930s. And quite probably its kitchen served blue plate specials.Now, the blue plate special hasn't v
