The Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich Steals the Spotlight at Red Claws Crab Shack
The Nashville hot chicken sandwich party has officially started in North Texas, and Red Claws Crab Shack is front and center in the mosh pit keeping things stirred up. (Does that concert reference hurt a little bit? It does for us, too.) Red Claws didn’t initially set out to crush…
As the Pandemic Accelerates, Some Dallas Restaurants Stop Reporting Sick Employees
In the early days of the coronavirus crisis, many Dallas-area restaurants diligently wrote public alerts every time an employee fell ill with the disease.

Chilled to Go: Triple Digits Are Coming, Get Yourself a Bellini

Damasita’s dining room has changed dramatically in the last six months. The restaurant opened in early 2018 as a Japanese izakaya, serving tempura platters and agedashi tofu.
