• Burning Question: Which Ingredients Do Chefs Hate To Work With?

  How would you like to slice into these everyday? Lobsters are easy. We mean that in a culinary sense. Bind up the pincers, drop them in water and commence to melting some butter. Likewise steak: a dash of salt, another of pepper and a crackling grill—that’s all there is to it, pretty much. In fact, when you think about it, some of our most account draining meals require about as much effort as Waffle House hash browns, maybe even less. Yep, chefs love surf and turf. But which ingredient

• Tonight: Go Crash Audio And A Kidnap in Color At The Door in Plano

  I know that those who contribute to this blog--including me--have not been overly kind to bands of the emo variety. Sorry, but shows that start at 6:30 p.m. in Plano (especially on a Tuesday) just don't seem to warrant the attention of a weekend event at a venue in Dallas. Ah, but that's not the case tonight at The Door in Plano..

• Top Ten Americana Albums of 2008

  In next week's paper, we'll unveil our national package on the best music of the year (the following week, we'll tackle the best in DFWd music). But, as a teaser, here's our paper's contribution to the national package: Noah W. Bailey's picks for the best Americana/folk releases of '08. Picking the best folk and Americana records of the year isn't nearly as hard as discarding those great records that just didn't feel right stuck in the category. Releases by Calexico and DeVotchKa felt far too

• 10 Questions: Jim White

  It would be difficult to imagine dining and Dallas without the presence of longtime radio star and founder--with wife Vicki Briley White--of Savor Dallas.Over the years, White has hosted the KRLD Restaurant Show, served as a food columnist and even helped develop the city's annual Restaurant Week, generating more than $300,000 a year for the North Texas Food Bank. His interest in food and conviction that Dallas ranks as one of the top five restaurant cities in the country led him to his greatest

• Clearing Out the Mailroom: Tuesday, June 2, 2009

  We've got quite a backlog of CDs we've never gotten around to, so we're going to try to chip away at the pile with this regular feature. The plan: to take four or five at a time and play each CD for as long as I can stand it.The Jones' (Dallas)down in my dreamsFrat-friendly acoustic Americana. The Jones' is the kind of band that uses an acoustic bass; not a stand-up, but a guitar-shaped bass--rarely a good sign. Perhaps that's a nod to one obvious inspiration, The Old 97's. The Jones' have a s

• Yesterday at NX35: Mike Seman's Thoughts On Indie Rock And Urban Development

  It's a story we've all heard before:  Artists move into the cheap end of town, start doing ...  whatever it is artists do, and pretty soon developers, city officials and moneyed trophy wives all want a piece of the scene. This "gentrification," as it's known in places like Asheville and Charleston, doesn't have to be a bad thing. In fact, the trend helps revitalize cities around the country.NX35 kicked off yesterday afternoon tackling this topic with a presentation called "Indie Ro

  Aubrey Edwards Moth FightWell, for all the folks who were complaining that NX35 featured too many local acts, you can't really complain about tonight. There's Monotonix (Tel Aviv, Israel), Casiotone for the Painfully Alone (Chicago), Beep Beep (Omaha), Sybris (Chicago), Black Gold (Brooklyn), Sugar & Gold (San Francisco) and The Botticellis (San Francisco) to name a few--but one of the bands that I'm most excited about hail from a little closer to home: Austin's Moth Fight.

• City Needs Just a Little More of Passengers' Dough to Pay for Love Field Renovations

  In October 2007, the Dallas City Council's Transportation and Environment Committee took up the issue of a proposed passenger facility charge for folks flying out of Love Field. The reason? The council was looking for ways to fund the capital improvements as part of the Love Field Modernization Program, and, as the committee noted in the fall of '07, "Memphis, Omaha, Houston Bush Intercontinental and DAL are the only Large or Medium Hub airports that have not implemented a PFC," meaning that "pa

  Quick takes from a Wednesday's minicamp workout at Carrollton's Standridge Stadium: *Tony Romo says the story that appeared in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram about him being told to lose weight is total bullshit. "That never happened," Romo said with a smile. "It just didn't." ... *From what I could tell, the defense was kicking the offense's ass. Patrick Watkins intercepted Romo's deep pass off a flea-flicker, and rookie Mike Mickens picked off a deflected Jon Kitna pass over the middle ...

  Fingers crossed, WE will duplicate this joy tonight. Right?So I'm watching the Channel 8 news Monday night at 6:29 and after a sparkling fill-in sportscast by Ted Madden he alerts viewers that: " ... in the game, Texas already trails, 1-0." To which anchor Gloria Campos valiantly responds, "Aw, but they'll come back." Adds John McCaa, "Let's hope so." At this point I should remind you that they were talking not about your Texas Rangers, but rather the Texas Longhorns in the College World
