This October, 1 Jack’s Southern Comfort Food should open up on Lower Greenville Avenue, provided permits and all those other things that keeps restaurants from opening when they say they will go through. A new release about the opening uses the word “biscuit” an unprecedented 22 times, in case you’re…
It was bound to happen. Dallas has been elevating the burger ever since The Mansion on Turtle Creek started topping beef patties with rare blue cheese that tasted of gym socks and serving them alongside fries dressed in truffle oil. Now every bar with pretensions of grandeur charges at least…
A few months ago I received a series of cryptic emails from an anonymous source telling me John Tesar was going to be on Bravo’s latest chef shit show, Top Chef, Season 10. The email didn’t say much, so I sat on the unsubstantiated claim. There were a few clues:…

Summer is gone, and standing beside a hot grill no longer feels like an act of torture. That means it’s time to fire up the charcoal, and one of the easiest way to coax the most flavor out of your kettle grill is by cooking top-notch burgers. Skip the preformed…
More booze and more space–that’s what’s new at the new Addison Liberty Burger location. I cozied up to the bar the day after its grand opening (and yes, it just opened September 11, despite the sign off the Tollway being up for months) and found myself next to a pressed-collar…

Max’s Wine Dive (3600 McKinney Ave.), uptown’s newest culinary addition, opened last Wednesday in the space that once housed Borders bookstore. The Texas-based restaurant and wine bar originated in Houston in 2006 and has since expanded to Austin, San Antonio and now, Dallas. The restaurant is spacious, with large windows…
