Those of you paying attention already know that the Slow Bone is one of Dallas’ best spots for barbecue (and if you didn’t know this, seriously, what the hell?). What you may not know is that Slow Bone now serves some of the best fried chicken in the city. You…
In case you missed it, Intrinsic Brewery and Smokehouse opened a week ago, and there has been much rejoicing over the newest craft brewery in downtown Garland. Our own Brent Nuss gave us the scoop on Intrinsic’s selection of suds, but the food deserves its own mention. Intrinsic’s owners Molly…
I saw the state trooper out of the corner of my eye as he pulled into gas station / parking lot of BBQ on the Brazos in Cresson, but I kept shooting pictures anyway. I fired off a few more frames, and was putting my camera back in the car…

Chasin’ Tail’s new location, just across the Lewisville Lake bridge in Lake Dallas, is easy to find, marked as it is by a large pink pig-shaped smoker out front. I visited recently, and the sophomore in me was disappointed at the missed opportunity with the menu: no “Meat Three Way”…
