It was not so long ago that brunching hours were constrained to a narrow window, but with millennials and bottomless mimosas this window has expanded into a timeless void where weekend sobriety and productivity fall victim. So when Plano restaurant Mexican Sugar announced they would begin brunch service on Saturdays…
You know it’s crawfish season when you have to strategically plan your weekend around crawfish boils. This weekend alone there are four different boils, so we’ve put together a quick run-down for all you mudbug lovers out there. Our weekly events round-up follows…
You know you’ve taken gluttony to a new level when your waitress calls you a fatty. She said it in the kindest, most familial way possible but at its core her comment stung with the icy saber of truth. And yet, I feel my order-logic was sound: If a waffle…
Long gone are the days when food trucks meant anonymous white vans and mystery burritos. Nowadays, food trucks are stalked with the aid of social media, with devotees willing to pay handsomely for dishes prepared on four wheels. This Thursday, Denton will be inundated by the likes of The Waffle…
Wake up and smell the pork’s assorted, Dallas. What is pork’s assorted, you ask? Well, from the look of the brown striated bits, the gray, ventricle-like pieces and the blocks of dark scarlet that occupied the bottom of my cháo bowl, it’s a lot of things, none of which Westerners…
Rather than show up to your family’s Easter Sunday shindig with the same old hot cross buns, why not bring some cookies, chocolates or other goodies you picked up The Bake Sale? The Bake Sale is a collaborative effort between Lily Hanson, of Hotel Zaza, Bolsa and Urbano Café fame,…
Kathryn DeBruler searches far and wide for DFW’s most interesting breakfast food. Come along. I didn’t have high hopes going into this brunch, and the fact that a manager apologized half an hour after my order was placed didn’t help much. She explained that I was there during Eureka’s first…
The Fort Worth Food and Wine Festival is this weekend and the schedule is jam-packed with all kinds of goodness. Thursday night gets things off to a tasty start with the BBQ Bash at Billy Bob’s, where pit masters will be slicing and serving the very best that smoke and…
Kathryn DeBruler searches far and wide for DFW’s most interesting breakfast food. Come along. In Texas, Kolaches are a thing. There are at least four festivals honoring the Czech pastry in our great state alone. The most famous kolaches hail from West, where legend has it that city revenue is…
It’s the 11th year for Savor Dallas and there’s a whole host of things to see, do, eat and drink. Friday night’s event at the arboretum is sold out, as is the Reserve Tasting and Sunday brunch, but that just leaves more room for the Grand Tasting, (sorry, sold out)…
“He went to Jarams.” These are the words every woman dreams of hearing. For so many, they represent the culmination of a lifetime’s worth of hoping, planning and dreaming. What little girl hasn’t pined away for the day when she, too, would get the big, white donut of her dreams?…
Whole Foods is doing a fish fry. Now before you go, you’ll have to do a little mental reconciliation. That is, you will have to reconcile the disparity between Whole Foods, with its organic chia seeds and probiotic hot dogs and a fish fry, with its, well, fried stuff. Fried…
Everyone has been sick lately, including me. Headache, scratchy throat, the works. I’d been medicating with chicken soup and tapioca pudding for days, but feeling on the mend I decided to venture out for sustenance. I needed something good, something comforting. But also — and this is not a typical…
Before he died this week, local veggie whisperer Tom Spicer was working on a new space next to Garden Café, where he planned to host a BYOB dinner every Thursday this month. The March 5 menu included choucroutes, quiche Loraine, Plat au fromages, fried okra over salad greens and Peach…
Five Sixty by Wolfgang Puck is honoring the year of the sheep with a dish called Cumin Soy Marinated Sheep-chops. Sheep-chops are empirically better than lamb-chops, if only because they do not conjure up such vivid of images of this little guy. To go along with the sheep-chops, there will…
Brunch used to be something extended families did on the rare occasions they got together. Either that, or it was reserved for holiday weekends, when sleeping in past breakfast time could be excused, given either the holiness of the occasion or the quality of the brunch being served. But brunch,…
Deep Ellum venues located on Main Street open their doors every third Thursday evening for Wine Walk. This event is perfect for the art-lover whose resveratrol levels could use a little pick-me-up. For $5 you get a specially designed wine glass which will be topped off as you meander through…
Here it comes, ready or not. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, which means one of two things, food-wise. It’s either A) time to start making reservations or B) time to stockpile TV dinners and Friskies. Just kidding. Singles can still go through the McDonald’s drive-thru without fear of…
The Kessler Baking Studio is holding a dark chocolate lover’s workshop. Participants will have the opportunity to taste and compare different chocolate bars. Think Sideways but with nibs. There will also be demonstrations on how to make chocolate bowls, truffles, mousse and dipped berries. What it be: Dark Chocolate Lover’s…
Barleywine, anyone? Flying Saucer Draught Emporium on The Lake is hosting Barleywine Week, which runs January 26 through the 30th. Barleywine isn’t actually a wine at all, but rather a beer. It takes its name from wine because of its high alcohol content (usually in the neighborhood of 8 -…
Don Julio Tequila is doing their part to foster an appreciation and understanding for modern art by teaming up with Café Modern. It makes sense, really. So much of the modern art world gets panned by Joe Schmo, whose unimaginative, sober vision of what constitutes art can be summed up…
In 2009, Tim Byres opened Smoke in Dallas. Byres, who once worked as executive chef at Stephen Pyles, billed Smoke as an upscale barbecue restaurant, a place where brisket and wine could be at home on the same menu. Smoke has since settled into a nook of barbecue fandom, garnering…
