This Super Bowl weekend, Dallas restaurants are going crazy with deals and drink specials. And some of these restaurants have actually lost their minds if they think we’re gonna pay their outrageous prices. (We’re sure someone will pay– it just won’t be us.) Here’s a list of five Super Bowl…
There’s something way too special about the Mama’s Daughters’ original location on Irving Boulevard. It’s the perfect diner: great atmosphere, happy-snarky waitresses and an unspoken promise that when you leave, you’ll be stupid full of delicious food. (Bring your pie stomach. It’s game time.) I have an unholy love for…
Welcome to Dallas, Super Bowl people! While you’re in town, we hope you check out some of the best restaurants for tourists in Dallas. (Here’s hoping you stick to this list so our actual favorite local spots don’t get all crowded with giant foam fingers and face paint.) Trail Dust!…
Holy crap, it’s snowing! Who could’ve seen that coming? (Shut up, Everyone’s Parents.) We’re excited for the snow day, but once the roads froze over we were a little concerned that a grocery run wasn’t an option in the near future. So, it’s time to bust open that pantry and…
February 6, you could get together with a bunch of friends to eat wings and yell at the Super Bowl on Fox. Or, you could not. If you’re anti-Super Bowl, here’s a list of five other shows you could watch, plus ideas for some crowd-pleasing coordinating appetizers. Animal Planet: Puppy…
The specialty dish at B.B.Bop’s is the Korean dish bibimbap (which sounds exactly the same if you say it drunk or sober), or as their signage describes it: rice bowls. The restaurant offers a couple of different roads for your rice bowl experience: build-your-own (for you picky bitches) or order…
Super Bowl parties are awesome — unless you’re a fan of the team the host hates. You’re a Packers fan but you’re headed to a party that’ll mostly be Steelers fans. Or you’re a Steelers fan headed to a party that’s going to be Packers-heavy. And on top of that…
The Ritz-Carlton and Fearing’s restaurant are going all out for the Super Bowl. They’re gonna have “football concierges” who are currently “undergoing extensive football information and statistics training.” They’re gonna have “special gridiron-themed cocktails.” There will even be a “super-sized chocolate extravaganza created to honor the game of football” in…
There’s only one thing we think when we see a video like this: “Yummy bunny.” All right, so maybe that particular video wasn’t intended to be food porn, but this one definitely was, right? C’mon. It’s a bunny. Humping a balloon. That bunny is so hilarious it deserves to be…
Capogiro Gelato, the Philadelphia-based dessert-makers we mentioned in December for offering a gelato-of-the-month club, has just informed us that their gelato will soon be available at Central Market. Lorenzo Merlo, who’s in charge of wholesale at Capogiro, says Central Market has picked up their Cioccolato Scuro, Bacio, Pistacchio, Thai Coconut…
Behold, Samar’s caramelized apple empanadas with cinnamon ice cream. Yeah, the dessert is super pretty and yeah, it’s shockingly small. If we’re just talking about looks here, this is the Salma Hayek of desserts. But, hey, you’re the kind of person who orders dessert at lunchtime, so that’s probably in…
I haven’t been in a dance club in about 10 years, but when I walked into Sabor: A Taco Joint, I thought I’d accidentally broken my streak. (“Shit. Now, I have to give back my 10 Years Free Of Douche Boners In My Back chip and my I No Longer…
Uptown Popcorn recently opened in NorthPark mall with more than 70 popcorn flavors that are way more tasty than that microwavable Orville Redenbacher’s you have in your pantry. A mini bag of most of Uptown Popcorn’s flavors will only set you back $1.75 and holds about three cups of crazy…
Recently, one of the kabillions of Cheap Bastard superfans asked, “Is there any way you can write a review about a restaurant without using any 4-letter words???? GUESS NOT.” It’s the truth: 4-letter words are the worst. And since I write to please you, today’s review doesn’t contain any words…
“There’s your winner, right there. Chantal,” Reality Steve barked over the clinking martini glasses and lady chatter last night at the watch party for the season premiere of The Bachelor at Bailey’s Prime Plus. Reality Steve is that annoying friend who talks over the entire reality show as you’re trying…
On Interstate 35 between Dallas and Waco, I hadn’t tried any non-chain restaurants beyond the kolache heaven that is the Czech Stop. But the last few drives to Austin put me in a barbecue mood, so I stopped at a couple places you should know about if you find yourself…
After you figure out whose bed you’re in, whose underwear you’re wearing and how to get home, here are a few tips for hangover recovery on New Year’s Day: 1. Eat donuts Donuts are the perfect booze-sopping-up grease bomb. Added bonus: on New Year’s Day, the Dutch believe that eating…
In the mood for some authentic Thai cuisine, I came across Thai-Rrific. Ballsy name for a place in a super-rundown shopping center. Even ballsier name for a place that serves up shitty food. It pains me to say that, since the service was really friendly. But it also pained me…
It’s a Christmas miracle! No-bake treats that taste beyond delicious. All you need is a 11-by-17-inch cookie sheet, a hammer (sweet!), a freezer and a little patience at the stove. If you’re no good at baking and you’re really good at eating chocolate, this is the holiday treat for you…
The Of-the-month club: It’s the holiday gift that keeps on giving, and giving, and giving–whether the receiver likes it or not. There are wine of-the-month clubs and of course, fruit of-the-month clubs. But why pick something so played-out when you could give one of these totally braggable (and pretty ridiculous)…
The overall vibe at the just-opened Crossroads Diner is less Bone Thugs Crossroads, more Britney Spears Crossroads. They serve breakfast all day, which is pretty Bone Thugs of them. But they offer frittatas, which errybody knows is ungangster. “But, hey!” Crossroads Diner seemed to say. “We put fuckin’ chorizo in…
Tired of seeing the same old sugar plum fairies and getting an eyefulla jangling Nutcracker moose knuckles? At 2 p.m. Saturday, see Barefoot Brigade (a group of area modern dancers working to make North Texas nationally-recognized for its “innovative dance works”) perform The NOTcracker: A Barefoot Brigade Holiday Dance Festival…
