During the worst winter storm Dallas has seen in decades, Facebook users found a way to use their love of food to help their neighbors. Since last year, Facebook groups created to promote local restaurants have been doing so with great success. When power outages made food and heat hard…

“Behind-the-scenes” isn’t a phrase you’d usually associate with flamboyant Food Network star Guy Fieri. But Fieri and his restaurants are literally behind the scenes as Guy Fieri’s Flavortown Kitchen rolls out ghost kitchens across the country with one already open in Southlake. The delivery-only restaurant operates out of Brio Italian…

After a location shuffle at the end of the year, Lucia has restarted offering takeout dinners for pickup from the old Macellaio s pot at 287 North Bishop Ave. The dinners-to-go program offers one meal per week with optional add-ons, and the menu is posted on the website weekly by…

When Holly and Todd Kerr’s children were young, their go-to family restaurant was a Chili’s Too on Belt Line Road near their home in Coppell. When it closed, Holly told Todd it might be time for them to open their own restaurant. At least then they’d know there was a…

Let’s face it. If it wasn’t one already, Dallas is becoming a pizza lover’s paradise. Whether you want New York-style pizza or Detroit-style pies, Sicilian flavors or flavors from India, you can find a pie (or two or three) to satisfy your cravings. Need a gluten-free cauliflower crust or vegan…

With COVID-19 cases peaking and confusion surrounding the vaccine rollout, you might feel stuck trying to decide what to do for Valentine’s Day this year. Quite a few Dallas restaurants are offering special dine-in meals, but many of us are simply not ready to dine in. That doesn’t mean you…

We can’t say enough good things about fresh juices these days, and Dallas offers a wide array of places to get them. This month, if you pick up your favorite juice at Pressed Juicery, the beautiful label may catch your eye. To celebrate Black History Month, the company is sharing…

Restaurants have taken to calling it the Big Game because the NFL trademarked the name “Super Bowl” and jealously defends its use. But whatever you call it, Dallas restaurants are offering a superabundance of specials and takeout options for Sunday’s game. We’ll just call them Super Bowl specials because we…

Super Bowl Sunday is next weekend, so it’s a pretty safe bet that hungry Dallas football fans will chow down on a few tons of pizza during the game. Of course, you don’t need a championship as an excuse to eat pizza (or maybe you want to start munching earlier…

Though charcuterie boards were one of the biggest food trends of 2020, cheese boards, with or without cured meat, are more than a recent trend in Dallas. The Libertine Bar’s cheese plate first showed up on our 100 Favorite Dishes list in 2010, and it’s still on the menu at…

Sandwiched between Christmas and Valentine’s Day, January tends to get short-changed when it comes to special dining menus. And it’s not like we always need cozy, stick-to-your-ribs food to protect us from the cold on the few days where the temperature dips below 60 degrees. Still, Dallas restaurants have food…

You can’t see Pickletopia from Bryan Street, so you need to know it’s there to find it. It’s worth finding, though, so drive through the parking lot accessible from North Fitzhugh Avenue, and you can park right in front of it. Pleasant aromas greet you when you walk into the…

For many of us, comfort food is still on the menu as we roll into 2021. It’s winter, and every other week it’s cold outside. What’s more comforting than a warm, freshly baked cinnamon roll? The gooey treats are so popular that even McDonald’s is getting in on the action…

With bars closed and restaurants operating at 50% capacity, great food deals at happy hours and nightly dining specials are a little harder to come by. But if you’ve resolved to save money this year, you don’t have to restrict yourself to fast food and chain restaurants. For a little…

A restaurant’s ambience can influence how we perceive the food and create memorable occasions out of meals from simple to sophisticated. Thoughtful food presentation makes everything from a burger to branzino taste better. And while it’s true that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” it’s also true that…

Whether you party all night for New Year’s Eve or head to bed before the ball drops, there’s something magical about the first day of another year, and that goes double this year. After a year like 2020, who wouldn’t want to eat a bite of something that promises to…

An end to this year – the most disruptive in our lifetimes for all but a few – simply cannot come soon enough. And though we won’t be together as we usually are on the last night of the year, collectively we can throw 2020 a rousing farewell party. We…

Navigating the social scene this time of year can be a challenge if you don’t drink alcohol. While the merriment looks different this year, options for sober celebrating still seem sparse at first glance. Sure, you can find apple cider and sparkling grape juice in faux Champagne bottles at your…
