You finally have a decent place to take the Jewish grandmother in your life without sacrificing your coolness, thanks to Dallas’ newest food truck: K-Wheelz, a new kosher food truck by Dallas-based Simcha Catering. Simcha specializes in a large array of kosher platters for anything from corporate events, Shabbos dinner,…
Call me Nancy NosyPants. I was driving past the building that used to house RedFork on Fitzhugh the other day and noticed some sweaty manbeasts covered in drywall dust. I stopped, sauntered inside and, as luck would have it, Khanh Nguyen appeared. Nguyen was busy, but he stopped for long…
Here’s a serious one for you, Aters. Maybe you’ve heard this story that went viral recently: On St. Paddy’s Day, a man named Jeff Beaurline walked into Pub 25 in Newtown, Connecticut, and asked the manager if he could leave a cold Guinness on the bar all day for Navy…
Burgermeister Jack Perkins announced via Facebook yesterday that the Food Network will be airing the Maple and Motor-featured episode of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives on Monday, April 9, at 9 p.m. The gloriously douchey (But somehow still lovable? No? Just me?) Guy Fieri tore through Dallas in late 2011 and…
Cupcakes! Cupcakes, cupcakes, buzzword, cupcakes. Sprinkles is extending its hours, and to celebrate, the cupcake conglomerate is giving away free cupcakes. Or cupcake, singular, to be specific. Tonight only, every pancreas at The Plaza at Preston Center will be given one free cupcake of its choice from 8 to 9…
Hoochies Oyster House (207 S. Bell, Denton) held a quasi-secret soft opening last week to a small but boisterous group of beer-guzzling Dentonites. We checked it out on a perfectly breezy night and have already planned the next few visits just to sit on that magic patio and drink beer…
No need to shove string cheese and corn chips down your pants for the St. Patty’s Day parade this Saturday. The kind folks at Madison Partners will bestow upon throngs of sloppy drunks the St. Patty’s Day Pop Up Food Park. Trucks from Il Cane Rosso, Nammi, Easy Slider, Trailercakes…
We think about weird shit sometimes. This is one of those times. 1. Pizza Sleeping Bag (above) This why-the-eff-didn’t-I-think-of-that idea from B Fiber and Craft combines the unique pizza passion that exists inside us all with our desire to sleep outside. For a mere 250 American dollars (plus shipping), you…
Budweiser teamed up with FC Dallas and debuted their weirdest newest marketing strategy this afternoon at Dallas’ beloved American Airlines Center. It’s called Poolball and its YouTube video explains the essentials through Budweiser’s requisite B’s: beers, babes, balls and bros. Here’s what it looks like if you still haven’t figured…
At its inception, the 35 Denton music festival was simply North Texas’ answer to Austin’s famous shitshow, South by Southwest. In its third year, 35 Denton has become a legitimate music showcase, pulling names like Big Boi, The Flaming Lips and Mavis Staples into its funky little downtown square. The…
Deep Ellum’s Black Swan Saloon (2708 Elm Street) has attracted cult-like fandom in the past year, in addition to being our 2011 pick for Best Drink in a Plastic Cup. Owner Gabe Sanchez, quite possibly the nicest guy in the history of time, has upped his coolness factor by planning…
We stopped by The Fort Worth Food Park (2509 Weisenberger St.) over the weekend to check it out and mingle with some of Cowtown’s finest. (See correction below). What we found was less of a park and more of a tiny alley stuffed with food trucks. And it was pretty…
After several days of delays, ocaTaco, at 6333 Forest Park, finally opened on Friday. We stopped by to check it out and grub down with the medical community. And some random dudes in overalls. OcaTaco is in the food court next to the Paul Bass Administration building off of Forest…
After an exhaustive search of public records and historical documents at the Library of Congress (read: drunken Google search), we are ready to honor President’s Day with a comprehensive list of the foods enjoyed by our fearless leaders of the past. Throughout this process one question continued to nag: Who…
The good people of the UT Southwestern campus are about to be slapped in the mouth with slow-cooked meat. Jack Perkins and part of his Maple and Motor team expect to open his new taco assembly-line concept, ocaTaco, sometime this week. (According to Facebook, it’s looking like Wednesday.) And yes,…
If you are a human and you live in Dallas, chances are relatively high that you don’t give a fuck about the Super Bowl. If you do, you’re either a Pats fan with an affinity for Jameson and clams or a Coughlin apologist with pizza-flavored blood. Either way, you can…
Woodshed Smokehouse (3201 Riverfront) held its soft opening last night on Fort Worth’s Trinity Trails, playing to a large crowd of cowboy-booted TCU students and what was very likely the entire medical community of Tarrant County. Seriously, everyone was wearing scrubs. Or purple. Chef Tim Love’s newest project has the…
As Scott mentioned earlier, Jack Perkins, founding partner of the Maple & Motor burger mecca — and once a proud provider of Dublin Dr Pepper on tap — is joining forces with Dublin Bottling Company to serve up the other sodas by the still-standing indie soda company. But that doesn’t…
