FW Weekly recently went deep on celebrity chef Tim Love. The story used accounts of Love’s lackluster performance as a caterer at the Crowne Plaza Invitational and TCU as the hook to tell a story about a man who is hard-working but over-extended and, according to the paper, a tad…
Two burger restaurants along Greenville Avenue have had dramatically different business experiences recently, while a new restaurant from a local burger legend hints at a possible (though probably unlikely) top in the Dallas burger market. A few weeks ago, Becks Prime announced that the Greenville Avenue location of the Houston-based…

From behind the counter looking out onto Greenville Avenue it’s hard to tell where the line for ice pops ends. One or two customers prop open the door, obscuring the view while letting hot, muggy air pour in, and the line extends beyond them, out onto the patio where more…

Remember when rosé first became a thing? It seems without much notice that many Americans collectively put down the Boone’s Farm, or perhaps a fizzy Bartles and Jaymes and picked up a bottle of pink wine from France to fill in as their summer sipper. Speedos suddenly became OK, along…

If the Dallas Observer’s Brewfest is anything, it’s a dynamic event. The first few years the sudsy celebration was held at the zoo until someone threw a can of Dale’s Pale Ale at a flamingo and our editor out-wrestled a gorilla. Then we moved the event to the Arts District…
I don’t know Lauren’s last name, partly because I was drinking while researching this post and partly because I was drinking while I was researching this post, but I’ll never forget her answer to my question. I’d just ordered a glass of Prairie’s Funky Gold Mosaic and was blown away…

The corner of Lakeland Drive and Ferguson Road is among Dallas’ least romantic locales for a cozy neighborhood pub. Sure, many suburban strip malls hide the glimmer of romance lurking in killer bowls of pho beyond the city limits, but this particular sea of concrete plays host to a Dollar…
Here’s the deal. This is your last holiday weekend until the first of September, which means after this Monday, you’ll be trapped in your regular, mundane work week for nearly two solid months — all of this during the hottest weather of the year. You better make the most of…
