It is on like Donkey Kong! Don’t get too crazy about this, kids, but Arby’s has just unleashed a throw-down with Subway. I am so on this. See, they are both promoting their seasonal chicken salad sandwiches. And now Arby’s has an official “Chicken Salad Taste-off” on its website where…
The first concert I went to without a parent was the Beastie Boys, Licensed to Ill, at the Summit in Houston, circa 1986. I was 11 and my brother was 16. We had floor seats, and I remember it being a crazy show. Afterward, we walked to a hotel across…
So, two guys are sitting at a bar — one is a priest, the other is a carpenter. A guy in a starched shirt hands them each a shot of rum, which they drink… This past Wednesday, DonQ Rum hosted a little event at The Cedars Social to find Dallas’…
I love me some Beyoncé. Her video for “Single Ladies” is mesmerizing. Kanye was right — it should have won Female Video of the Year (even though it went on to win Video of the Year). Beyoncé has this ease in her style — she’s like Sporty Spice the Exotic…
Remember the last time you were in central Arlington and you wanted a good burger? No, really, serious starts now: Suppose you are in central Arlington and you find yourself in need of a great burger. Well, you’re in luck. You actually now have a reason to drive to there…
Well, everyone played nice. There were no incidents of belligerence to report. No picket lines were formed. No stones were thrown. Instead Dallas Cowboys players and coaches joined local chefs on Sunday night at the Glass Cactus in Grapevine for the Taste of the NFL: The Ultimate Cowboys Tailgate Party…
Recently I took the chickens out to Denny’s to try their new Maple Bacon Sundae. When I was a kid I went to Denny’s on occasion, but in the past 15 years I think I’ve been twice, and I had no idea what I’d been missing. From customers to the…
Shama lama ding dong! It’s Passover time again. North Texas Jewish families who are preparing for the holiday, which begins Monday at sundown, will sit down for a ceremonial Seder dinner that is full of symbolism. Unfortunately for many, that means jarred gefilte. These spam-like fish balls are the Thanksgiving…
Remember the last scene of Casablanca in which Rick and Renault come together in the end for the good of humanity then walk off into the fog contemplating “…the beginning of a beautiful friendship”? Well, that’s basically what’s happening between the NFL owners and players this weekend at the Glass…
For years I hated Starbucks. I sensed they were plotting a world takeover starting with the invention of their own sizing scheme, which to this day I refuse to adhere to (it’s a small not a tall). I would accuse anyone who drank their coffee as a co-conspirator and kept…
Since 1924, the Luna family has been selling chips, tortillas, tamales and such through The Luna Tortilla Factory. And now, almost 86 years later, they have finally opened a family restaurant. And, guess what? They’ve been holding out on us. Shame, shame. It all started back in 1923 when María…
Over spring break my husband and I loaded up our kids and took a road trip out to Lake Mineral Wells State Park. We hiked, climbed, cried, threw rocks into the water and generally disturbed nice people trying to embrace the serenity of nature. After all that hoopla, my husband…
Today in Buffalo, New York, it’s 37 degrees. There’s snow on the ground, and more is expected tonight. Who cares, right? Well, Arron Wight does. He’s from Buffalo and came to Texas for opening day at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington with his uncle Steve Greis, who lives in Dallas. So,…
