Today is National Fluffernutter Day. I know you didn’t know. That’s why I’m here: to impart random, sometimes questionable, food news upon your docile soul. So, a fluffernutter is a sandwich made with peanut butter and marshmallow spread. (Did you just do a gag reflex?) So, of course this has…
The Village Baking Company “Boulangerie” (which is a fancy French way of saying it’s a fancy French bakery) has opened a new retail storefront at 5531 E. University in what used to be a Whole Foods bakery. Inside, this small bakery has a whiff of quaint charm and looks like…
Earlier this week, I got a tip from a commenter that another hot dog restaurant is opening soon: Jerry’s Wood-Fired Dogs from Orange County, California. See Also: – Hofmann’s Hot Dog Restaurant – The Bowery’s Bogus Dogs Today I talked to the franchise owner Joe Corcoran, who is originally from…
Now, throw some brisket, pico and Doritos on top of that, and we’re ready for some baseball! Casey Rapp with Delaware North Sportservice, which provides concessions and catering for the Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, released a new playoff concession menu this afternoon. It’s available at tonights game, and hopefully subsequent…
A few weeks ago Scott got emotional about all the different flavored vodkas out there and even had some ideas for a few flavors of his own. We convinced him not to quit his day job for a life in Siberia distilling vodka; but, fortunately, there are others out there…
Kevin Sprague started roasting his own coffee beans as a hobby almost ten years ago when his wife, Marta, gave him a small tabletop roaster. His hobby eventually turned into Noble Coyote Coffee Roasters and now their small-batch artisanal coffee is served at several restaurants (Sissy’s and Bryan Street Tavern)…
GRIP Mediterranean Grill has opened in the Preston Center at 6030 Luther Lane (a few doors down from Hopdoddy) as a fast-casual pita wrap in the same vein of Chipotle. Like, exactly the same vein. If you tested the DNA, it’d be the same, just taste and smell different. The…
Brad Friedman with the Cedars Food Park has decided to cancel the weekly Thursday food truck events at Dallas Heritage Village, effective immediately. Instead he’s going to focus on building the Friday night events, making them bigger and better, and hosting other large-scale and “pop-up” events at the park. “Our…

A great personal debacle has been resolved. See, the courtyard at Chicken Scratch is one of the hippest, coolest, I-wanna-have-a-beer-there-with-ALL-my-friends places in the city. But problem is, and please judge me on this, I don’t really like fried chicken. Roasted chicken is OK, but I still rarely go out of…
Recently a link was posted on Reddit about the “largest item on any menu in the world” and it linked to a Wikipedia page that read like this: “a whole stuffed camel is a culinary delicacy composed of a medium-sized camel stuffed with a sheep or a lamb stuffed with…
This weekend is the 4th annual Rib Rub and Run (say that three times fast) in downtown Rockwall. In addition to a 5K and 10K race, there’s a rib cook-off and a People’s Choice Award for chicken wings. Perhaps even more enticing – AVA, Bin 303 and Fatted Calf are…
Tomorrow morning, Ruthie’s Rolling Café is going to roll on up to the Juanita J. Craft Recreation Center to hand out free breakfast sandwiches. The occasion is Dallas resident and SMU alums Robin Bagwell’s 50th birthday. Sounds random, right? Exactly. “We have a Random Snack of Kindness program,” says Robin…
This morning the Texas Worm Ranch, which in addition to wrangling worms, grows some downright gawgeous produce, posted this fresh bounty of late-summer vegetables and herbs to its Facebook page, with this message: Peppers, okra, eggplant, basil … this is what’s coming out of our garden and to you at…
Hopdoddy is an upscale, yet casual, restaurant and bar that originated in Austin just a couple years ago and has quickly amassed an ardent drove of devotees. Their hippie-seducing burgers are an affirmation to all things craft, local, organic, Austin and Willie. See also: 11 Off-The-Beaten-Path Cheeseburgers Their first spot…
A new Cuban restaurant, Havana Café, has opened at 1152 Buckner Blvd. in the Casa Linda Plaza. This small, family run spot affords only enough space for about 10 tables, which is quite unfortunate considering the crowd they’re already drawing. Amidst the downpour Saturday night, it was standing room only…
Last week, my boyfriend Tim at the Daily Meal (we’ve actually never met) sent me an email (went to spam box first) about an Ultimate BBQ Road Trip. His greeting started with “Exciting news … ” about their “explicitly mouthwatering lineup of Barbecue restaurants across the southern United States…” I…
FOX is prepping for season 4 of MasterChef and will hold a casting call in Dallas on October 27, which means you have about one month to do whatever you think necessary to get TV game-ready. The concept of MasterChef is to find the country’s best home cook. They start…
This is a bad bad list, people. Nasty. Men’s Health has published a list of the top 20 Worst Foods in America. Usually it’s fun to look at gut bombs, but after cruising through this list you’ll want to brush your teeth and wash your face. The list is part…
Boulevardier is the new French bistro-inspired restaurant in Oak Cliff, which is a collaboration of Veritas owners Brooks and Bradley Anderson and chefs Randall Copeland and Nathan Tate of Ava in Rockwall. This spot opened on the last day of July and nary a negative word has been cast against…
Until last week, all of Deep Ellum Brewing Company’s beer was only available on tap at bars or in kegs. But, a few months ago they scored a good deal on a bottling system and we can all now enjoy a local brew on our local couch in front of…
Democracy and drinking. (Insert a long, hard, exhausted sigh.) I’m not going to connect all the dots with how much our democracy is tied to drinking, going all the way back to George and Martha’s home brew. Just trust me, for the love of God trust me, being a good…
