Nothing spices up a kitchen like the element of competition — as even a casual Food Network viewer could tell you. Describing a recipe for the camera? Not exciting. Breathily narrating your dish as you race to beat the clock and five other chefs? There’s good eating in that.So at…
Two decades since he made watching lousy movies on Comedy Central one of the funniest ways to waste a mid-’90s afternoon, Joel Hodgson has found a new, if similar, calling: a live touring show, Cinematic Titanic, with the original Mystery Science Theater 3000 cast silhouetted against campy sci-fi flicks.When Cinematic…
This week Dave encounters a swingin’ good time at The Londoner in Uptown, where the menu faithfully recalls the Indian-influenced parade of a proper British pub menu–even if it’s a little too adventurous for the average happy-hour Uptowner palate.You can check out more photos from The Londoner in this photo…
With just a few days until the start of a new season, the Mesquite Championship Rodeo opened its doors yesterday for a sneak peak at the new-look Resistol Arena.Actually, it looks an awful lot like it used to — same wooden boards under the seats, still dirt in the middle…

So the current pairing of exhibits at the Irving Arts Center–Looking In: Earth From Space together with Looking Out: Space From Earth–is especially impressive. This is…
At a little over 4,000 characters, this story from U.S. News & World Report is running our attention spans ragged — but we think what they’re doing today is throwing a national spotlight on two University of Texas at Dallas professors who’ve harnessed the awesome power of Twitter in their…

If you find yourself downtown today, sharing a street corner with a blue-wigged Marie Antoinette, a dude in spandex and two-foot spiked hair, and a girl with go-go boots, fishnets and a purple rubber glove, you’re probably not losing it.More likely, you’ve wandered over near the Sheraton Hotel, where A-Kon…
