OK, so New Jersey gets a bad rap, and has for awhile now. It’s only gotten worse since the Jersey Shore kids have taken over America with their GTL (gym, tan, laundry) routine and fist-pumping dance moves. Also, watching Jersey Shore is bad for your eyes. Staring at the guidos’…
Do you remember the huge, brick-heavy cell phones from the early 90s? The ones that practically broke your wrist while you tried to talk on it. We do and so does RA Sushi. This Thursday, April 22, RA Sushi will be holding an ugly cell phone contest to celebrate Earth…
BBQ Pork Belly Steamed Buns Demonstrated by Chef TJ Lengnick of Shinsei Finally, the cold weather has gone back into hibernation. Skies are bluer, people are sipping cocktails and downing beers on restaurant patios. We thought this season would never come — you know, with it snowing an inch or…
There is something about big, bouncy balloons that turns me into a kid again. Not sure what it is about the inflatable bag full of helium that mesmerizes me and brings out my inner child, but thank you, Bartolomeu de Gusmão. He would be the person responsible for the invention…

Is it just us or does a lot seem to be going on this week in the world of Dallas dining? It seems like some type of foodie event is happening everyday. Good thing we’re here to tell you about, right?One Arts Plaza will be throwing its first annual block…
Wisconsin Trio Fondue Demonstrated by Ron Meola Here at City of Ate, we love food, and we love random, wacky holidays that celebrate food. Not too long ago we celebrated National Pancake Day with a free stack of buttermilk pancakes at IHOP. We’re anxiously counting the days until National Hoagie…
When a man goes to a strip club and watches a woman work her magic on the pole Demi Moore-style, it’s considered sexy and a huge turn-on for him. When a woman goes to a strip club and has a possibly gay man rubbing his junk all in her face…
The weather is turning nice, flowers are blooming, people are walking their dogs and actually enjoying it. This can only mean one thing–winter is done. The best way to celebrate the spring season is to learn how to prepare a cocktail, of course, and La Duni Latin Kitchen & Studio can…
El Gordo Crepes Demonstrated by Luciano Lopez of Café Brazil Richardson There are certain restaurants, bars and hole in the wall-type places that we consider our second home, or even our actual home because we frequent them so much. The place we like to go after a long day to…
If someone asked me if I wanted to attend BloodaPalooza, then I would automatically assume the cast from True Blood (that other, non-glittery vampire hit on HBO) was holding a convention for all their fanatics, but I would be completely wrong. BloodaPalooza happens to be a tattoo, arts and music…
This March kept true to the saying “in like a lion, out like a lamb,” kicking off with a four-alarm fire on Lower Greenville on March 2. The fire started in Terrilli’s and soon destroyed Hurricane Grill, Mick’s and Greenville Bar & Grill only a few weeks before one of…
Another holiday is upon us, City of Aters. It’s that time of year when you put on your Sunday best, dye perfectly good eggs, receive a basket full of goodies from an over-sized bunny, and of course, stuff yourself with food until you feel like you’re about to explode, among…

In high school, our favorite part of economics class had nothing to do with learning about supply and demand. It was sitting in the back of the room and making a flip book out of our SpongeBob SquarePants mini notebook keychain (don’t even act like you didn’t own one; SpongeBob…
We were just thinking the other day that there should really be more free stuff available for the public. What if Steve Jobs set up shop on a street corner one day and just started giving away free computers and iPods? Or if Donald Trump decided it was a good…
We’ve all had those moments when we’re going to scream if we have to look at one more spreadsheet or spend another minute in our walls-closing-in-on-us cubicle. Or we’re going to go all Office Space on the copier if it decides to eat another very important document. This is when…
Let’s play a little game of six degrees of separation, shall we? I bet I can connect kleptomaniac, sorry, I mean actress Winona Ryder to our beloved Mr. Wiggle Worm, the sidekick of Mr. Peppermint. Starting…now. In the early ’90s, Ryder was engaged to heartthrob loner, Johnny Depp, for a…
Is your pooch pretty? Is your canine cooler than James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause? Do you have one hot dog? If you answered yes to one or more of those questions, then maybe you should consider letting your doggie strut its stuff this weekend. This Saturday is the…
