Houston-based Becks Prime has opened a second Dallas location at 4622 Greenville Ave. The restaurant was built from the ground up in a tight spot between the Vespa store and car wash, just south of Parkit Market. See also: – Becks Prime Drops Their Massive Burgers on Preston Becks started…

Flipping through an issue of Rachel Ray’s EveryDay at the checkout stand a few weeks ago, I was lured in by a picture of an entirely edible peanut butter bowl, which was a bowl made of one huge Rice Krispies treat, covered in chocolate, then loaded with a peanut butter…

I’d give anything to sit in on one of these marketing meetings. First, Yum Brands Inc., owner of Taco Bell, announced the original Doritos Loco Taco. The finger-staining-orange powder-coated taco sold millions so plans for a Cool Ranch version were announced next. See also: – Fine, Taco Bell is Going…

Long story short, there’s this show on ABC called The Taste. It’s just like the show The Voice only instead of blindly listening to contestants sing, judges on The Taste blindly taste contestants’ cooking. Seriously, that’s like the only difference. Oh, and instead of three famous dudes and a busty…

If you did any shopping at Target, your local grocery or any other retail store this weekend, you probably noticed the aisles full of red and pink boxes filled with terrible chocolate, kitschy greeting cards and stuffed animals made from the suffering of children in far-off countries. Valentine’s Day is…

Last week Eater Austin’s (and ex Dallas-ite) Andrea Grimes reported that a huge painting of Johnny Cash was stolen out of Max’s Wine Dive on San Jacinto Boulevard in Austin. The piece was commissioned to Tra’ Slaughter of Houston and this large mural was supposed to spend some time at…

Last year, I listed out the ten best food-based Super Bowl ads for you guys. And this year, while everybody else was eating at least a bajillion chicken wings, lamenting over all those poor chickens or tweeting about the “Blackout Bowl,” I was diligently watching all the commercials once again…

Stateside Pie and Beer opened recently in Mesquite, at 1335 North Peachtree Road. The upscale sports bar’s name was inspired by World War II veterans’ dreams of returning home, and the interior is cloaked in mages of that “Greatest Generation.” Bring your copy of Unbroken, or perhaps not because there…

Hey there, Aters. Hope you’re ready for the weekend. If you don’t have any foodie plans yet, you should check out our list of things to do, specially curated by LDD. Pick your favorite food inspired event (the Craft and Growler grand opening looks great) and get out there and…

This story from The Smoking Gun is too good not to share. To keep it quick, a St. Louis pastor patronized Applebees and took issue with a mandated 18 percent tip for parties of eight or more. Alois Bell says she left a cash tip at the table, but it’s…

The Foundry was recently named by Southern Living magazine as one of the best bars in the South on account of its spacious, twinkle-light covered courtyard. This bar just opened last year and has quickly gained a lot of attention, primarily on account of said courtyard, which is more like…

With the big game this weekend I was trying to find some interesting and gluttonous fast-food options. Nothing insane stuck out, but I came across a few items of note, both in the States and from around our big fat globe. Some of them are good, others awful. Well, actually,…

If you happen to order a Sazerac while you’re out and about, and you don’t specify Templeton, Bulleit or some other top-shelf rye whiskey, I’m willing to belt you’ll end up with Old Overholt in your drink. The inexpensive whiskey has become a secret weapon of bartenders all over the…

If your interest was piqued a couple of weeks ago when Scott Reitz told us about his bottle of Balcones single malt whiskey, or perhaps even before that you read about it in The New York Times, well, you’re in luck. See also: – Tasting Balcones Single Malt Whiskey -…

On last night’s Top Chef, the contestants were on a cruise ship headed to Alaska. The QuickFire was two hours long, and they had to feed 200 people innovative dishes using iceberg lettuce. Valentine made a tiny wedge salad. Pretty much everyone incorporated bacon into their dishes. And Padmaboobz was…

Maybe it’s a little bit of a stretch, but it’s hard for me not to make some comparisons. The Park Towers Condominium has been up in The Katy Trail Ice House’s grill since the bar opened, complaining about noise. They’ve requested truncated hours and soundproofing inside the popular Uptown beer…

News in Twinkie-world this morning is that Hostess Brands has “selected affiliates of Apollo Global Management, LLC and Metropoulos & Co. as the stalking horse bidder for the majority of the assets of the Company’s snack cake business, which includes both Hostess® and Dolly Madison® branded products, including the iconic…
