Today is Chicago’s day. No doubt about that. The forever-downtrodden Cubs’ organization and their beleaguered fans are celebrating the quenching of the 108-year fire after the Game 7 World Series win, one that some are calling the best baseball game ever played. But a whole nation of baseball fans seemed…

The AT&T Byron Nelson PGA TOUR golf tournament would have found its way to South Dallas’ newly opened Trinity Forest Golf Club whether or not Mayor Mike Rawlings and the Dallas City Council got involved. But they brought their Grow South banners on Wednesday anyway, setting them up on the 10th tee…
Tostilocos are, among other things, an expression of the true unbridled passion Latinos share for a good snack. Your mouth cannot hold all the flavors that are going on all at once here, and that is on purpose. There’s a reason this snack’s name means “crazy chips” in Spanish. Street…
If you need anymore evidence that craft brewing as an industry is here to stay, look no further than Eastfield College’s latest move. When its Journeyman Brewer certificate program gets underway for its fourth term on Sept. 12, class capacity will have nearly doubled from 18 seats to 30. After…

When talking about Mexican food, the notion of what’s “authentic” often clouds the conversation, so know this right up front: Don Juan’s in Grand Prairie is NOT authentic Mexican food. That fact, however, doesn’t take away from the uniqueness of the joint or its appeal to locals, especially on Thursdays. “Everybody…
You’d have to call the new Buc-ee’s location in Far North Fort Worth ridiculous. You’d just have to … if it weren’t so damned amazing. The new monument to Texas excess is now open just south of Texas Motor Speedway, so come one, come all, because every day is the State…
You’ll have to go around the back for some of the best ribs west of I-35. The front entrance didn’t fit in with Mike Shannon’s redesigned floorplan when he moved in and added his name to what had been Real Pit Barbecue in 2007. But if you find your way to…
