In Happy Endings, foodbitch goes on the hunt for Dallas’ unsung and unsurpassed desserts. Today: the coconut cream pie at Malai. After finishing off a delicate salmon dish at Malai, our incredibly perky waitress convinced me to try the coconut cream pie. She swore everybody loved it. Everybody whom she…
Jonesing for a fried or folded, sweet or savory food-truck fix, I headed to the Food Truck Smackdown on Friday night. I admit I was hoping to find part ROT Rally, part food fight and part monster truck battle when I got there…
Dear people of St. Louis, You’re about to either head to Dallas or watch Dallas on your TV as our baseball (and football) players beat the ever living baseballs (and footballs) out of your baseball (and football) players. I’m not talking about the Most Elligible Dallas Dallas (“Carbs and cheese…
In Happy Endings, foodbitch goes on the hunt for Dallas’ unsung and unsurpassed desserts. Today: the soba ice cream at Tei An. Trying to name the best desserts in Dallas is an impossible task. Almost as impossible as naming the best burgers, pizza or zombies. Of course I do have…
Burgers and wine. Isn’t that enough?! Kidding.
There were actually a lot of really cool reasons to attend this delicious event for DIFFA Dallas held at One Arts Plaza, besides the food and drink opportunities. First of all, it gave quite a few local chefs the opportunity to do one thing and do it really well: craft a creative signature mini burger. Or lots of them.
October is Vegetarian Awareness Month. It’s true. Vegetarians do exist, even in Dallas. And not only that, they should be celebrated, if for nothing else than for eating all the world’s tofu so you don’t have to see it. Here are a few ways to help make everyone aware of…
Oh, toilet humor. Though Gerard Depardieu gives Anderson Cooper the giggles, I don’t find it funny to dine somewhere where I feel I need to try and — ahem — hold it until I get home, should I drink too much wine or iced tea during my meal. But: I’m…
It’s the little details, at least for me, that make a fine, and even an upper-casual dining experience just that: an experience rather than simply an amount of time and a spot to squat and eat stuff. So forget the food itself for a moment. This list is made up…
Three words: Dallas. Chocolate. Conference. Just the thought of all that chocolate got me ready to get busy eating. Then I got busy lying down. And I was sweaty. But it’s not what you think. We’ve all heard of the meat sweats, but Saturday afternoon, at the Dallas Chocolate Conference…
See more photos of the DFW Food Truck Festival at dallasobserver.com/slideshow. The scene was the parking lot outside Sigel’s at Greenville Avenue just north of Lovers Lane. The characters: Nammi, Ruthie’s, Enticed, Jack’s Chowhound, 3 Men and a Taco, Gandolfo’s, Mr. Cool, Trailercakes and The Bomb Fried Pies. Not since…
Head just east of West Village and you’ll discover a new spot that feels like you traveled a lot farther east. Baboush transports you with its elegantly appointed Moroccan décor, unique drink menu and modern interpretations of classic Lebanese and Moroccan dishes. I’m pretty much always in the mood for…
Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip… That all went down at Al Biernat’s with a lot of big, fake tits. Ah, KRLD Restaurant Week, a time when those of us who only think we belong on Most Eligible Dallas get to…
In a tiny space on Davis Street in Oak Cliff, you can find CocoAndré Chocolatier. And if you do happen to find it, you’ll discover something special: a passionate chocolatier with a particularly interesting story about a rediscovered chocolate once thought to be extinct. On this particular day, Andrea Pedraza…
Saturday night’s third annual Food for Thought charity event at the Tower Club brought out a slew of celebrity chefs, a few local celebrities and me, in my fancy pants. Put on by the Dallas Association of Young Lawyers, Food for Thought centered around small bites of celebrity and the…
I came to the ACF National Convention hungry and clearly wearing the wrong outfit. Surrounded by “white coats,” as chefs are called in the industry, I walked conspicuously through the crowd in my street clothes, making a beeline for Food Network star Alton Brown’s lecture about salt, efficiently dubbed “A…
