When Jay Jerrier first opened Il Cane Rosso in Deep Ellum in 2011, he was intent on making “authentic Neapolitan pizza.” So intent that not only did he buy an oven from Naples and use a mixer, flour and tomatoes from Naples, but he even recruited a Dino Santonicola, who…
So, there’s probably no need for me to walk you through this. It’s a super strength plastic bag precisely placed inside a sports bra. Kathy Lee first introduced the wine rack bra on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno more than a year ago (surprised?), so if people who actually…
Sunset Lounge on Ross Avenue is quite the looker. So, did you know they have $3 happy hour food and drink specials every Monday through Friday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.? If you need more convincing, check their photo stream. Four Corners Brewing is having a little party tonight…
Each week we track down a chef for a few burning questions about things like favorite cookbooks, kitchen disasters and food shames. This week, Jonathon Erdeljac of Jonathon’s Oak Cliff was willing to play along. Erdeljac shares with us what happens when your line cook walks just before brunch and…
JEM Beverage Co. is a little distillery that produces handcrafted spiced rum on a remote island in the Caribbean where lagoons of blue water give way in the flat dry landlocked city known as Carrollton. This small-batch craft distillery makes a few other spirits as well, including Southern Star Vodka,…
Next Thursday, July 4, is the Fifth Annual Brass-Knuckle Corndog Beat Down at the Libertine Bar. This is one of our favorite food events because eating copious amounts of corn dogs is just disgusting! Which is so great! Because it’s gross! You should so totally do it! We’ve got your…
Frankie’s Sport Bar & Grill in Uptown at 3227 McKinney Ave. closed last week. This spot originally opened in 2000 and after 13 years of making it possible to watch every college football game at once, posted this message to their Facebook page: We’re heartbroken to leave our original Uptown…
Just because school is out doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get your learn on. This Wednesday, Sigel’s at 5757 Greenville Ave. will host a tequila “festival and tasting.” But, isn’t every tequila tasting a festival? The difference here is it’s free. That’s certainly a game changer. All you’ll need to do…
Yesterday Candice Choi at the Huffington Post hit one out of Twinkie Park with an extensive overview of the Twinkie Revitalization Plan. Here’s the crux of it: Twinkies will be back on the shelves July 15. See also: Jon Stewart on What Really Killed the Twinkie However, there are a…
The July issue of Conde Nast Traveler, which hits the stands June 25, has a feature on the 70 Best New Restaurants in the World. The list concentrates on seven specific cities: NYC, San Francisco, London, Paris, Tokyo, Shanghai Sydney. And then the American South is lumped into one category…

The North Pole will be at its fullest tilt toward the sun this Friday, giving us the longest day of the year. It’s officially (cue Will Smith) … “summer, summer, summertime. Time to sit back and unwind.” Watermelons satiate summer thirst quiet like nothing else. Sometimes it’s hard to work…
Each week (or thereabout) we track down a chef for a few burning questions. This week, chef Kenny Mills at Chop House Burgers and the new Chop House Steaks and Seafood in central Arlington was willing to participate. He shares with us a creative way to find unique recipes, a…
It’s another beer festival. Are we getting tired of these? No! We’re not! That was totally a loaded question. Beer festivals are a great chance to try new brews. Instead of investing five, seven or 10 dollars in a beer you’re not sure you’ll like, you get to dabble in…
It’s a struggle to find new ways to describe the local beer industry — the “budding craft beer scene” just feels so repetitive and overused at this point. I think it’s safe to say it has, indeed, budded. It’s beyond “budded.” It’s blossomed. It’s gone through the entire pollination process…
TacoNaan is a new taco naan place at 928 Belt Line Road in Coppell serving variations of tacos and naan. The owners recently renovated the inside of this old convenience store — cleaned it up, slapped a fresh coat of paint on the walls, new tile floors and furniture and…

Well, goodness. We’ve been wasting the week and we only just realized it. Hopefully you got good sleep last night because the rest of the week just might be a tad on the busy side. Henry’s Tavern in Plano is celebrating a grand opening with … wait. Grand Opening? They…
Recently Brittany Nunn with the Lakewood Advocate covered the proposed new Promise of Peace garden in a three part series (one, two and three). The garden is set to take over some space in a parking lot at the White Rock United Methodist Church (WRUMC) in the Little Forest Hills…
On Saturday we were in quick driving distance of Hard Eight BBQ in Coppell, as were many other people. When we pulled in the parking lot, meaty smoke was pouring out from the roof onto the heads of a line that snaked out the front door. See also: –The Reuben…
If you’re a craft beer fan, you may want to charge up your cordless drill. On Friday Governor Rick Perry signed off on a five-pack of bills relating to the craft beer industry that will, in part, allow them to expand brewery operations. For over a decade the Texas craft…
Not in a million years would we have ever guessed the words “Hell’s Kitchen” and “Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar and Grill” would be in the same sentence. Alas, FOX and chef Gordon Ramsay are casting a wide net over Dallas for new subjects for the next season of…
