A little of this, and a little of that from this weekend. Or, more pertinently: A little panda dance and a little Armenia. It was an interesting Friday night in Deep Ellum on February 11: The Boiler Room featured Alexi Delano and a heck-of-a-lot of mushy clown noses. Also? A…
Robin Leach was in Fort Worth this weekend with a saber. The “flavors of North Texas” were represented in Fort Worth on Saturday for Taste of NFL’s 20th Anniversary this Super Bowl Weekend. Of course, Leach wasn’t the only one there with a sword. Many Dallas (and celebrity) chefs had…
So, the ice finally thawed. Honestly, the weekend was looking a little disappointing right around the Prince cancellation, but the warmer weather brought out the big Super Bowl parties on Saturday.

OMG! Lots of Super Bowl parties going on in Dallas–right now–and oh-so-many celebs. We’re combing through the photos from The Bud Light Hotel and the F.I.G.: not exactly foodie celeb heaven.

Giant scarves were necessary for the Wayans Brothers last night, who faired the snowy streets of Dallas in their limo to check out Skye Bar. The snow might have weeded out most folks, but Shawn and Marlon Wayans — stars of film gems like White Chicks and Little Man –…
This morning in Uptown, a couple of Steelers fans — they were wearing ponchos — drank coffee in the ankle-high snow. Store owners raked mounds of white off their walk-ins, and Dallas folks screamed at cars driving slowly on McKinney avenue: “Go home!” Several hours before this morning’s snowpocalypse, which…

Last week, Japan McDonald’s debuted their Big America 2 campaign that featured four Hulk-fist sized, America-themed burgers. The four burgers, named Idaho, Manhattan, Miami, and Texas 2, clock in at more than 500 calories each, and range from nearly tasty-looking to mildly racist. As for our state’s burger, Hanna spoke…
A heavy metal feud is brewing between California and Dallas.

Avoiding sweets is difficult enough without second-hand chocolate smoke. Well, “smoke” is not technically accurate. Thanks to Le Whif, however, with the “first prototype of the food inhaler” you can pretty much smoke your way through a six pack of cocoa. While your first reaction is possibly annoyance at the…
So, 2010 finished its stride over the weekend. But our nightlife photographers Ray Lek, Peter Lek and Roderick Pullum still ventured into that ball-dropping madness and captured the scenes at Zouk, the Lizard Lounge, Elm Street Bar, Skye Bar and OE Penguin. Hey, there’s no way we were going to…
