Robin Leach was in Fort Worth this weekend with a saber. The “flavors of North Texas” were represented in Fort Worth on Saturday for Taste of NFL’s 20th Anniversary this Super Bowl Weekend. Of course, Leach wasn’t the only one there with a sword. Many Dallas (and celebrity) chefs had…

Dallas’s greatest invitation to eat way too much food, and zero meat, is back again for a third year, coming up at Spiral Diner’s third anniversary celebration in Oak Cliff on Sunday, February 20. Spiral tweeted the news late last month, and I reached Sara Tomerlin this afternoon to confirm…

Sunday morning, as downtown restaurants were brimming with Super Bowl brunchers, the Man O’ The Hour and I headed north into the sweet, consumerist bosom of North Park Center. There, we grabbed a booth at Cibus, the Lombardi family eatery with a lovely view of the Louis Vuitton store. But…

We’re combing through the massive influx of photos from the Super Bowl parties, and we caught this gem from Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives host Guy Fieri. He was among a whole slew of celebrities at the Maxim Super Bowl party at Fair Park in Dallas, but one of the few…

OMG! Lots of Super Bowl parties going on in Dallas–right now–and oh-so-many celebs. We’re combing through the photos from The Bud Light Hotel and the F.I.G.: not exactly foodie celeb heaven. Except a couple from last night’s Playboy Super Bowl party. Well, two if you count Iron Chef Marc Forgione’s…

Just like for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s, Dallas food blogs have eagerly compiled lists of things to do and places to go if you’re not into the main event. On Super Bowl Sunday, even if you’re into football and not so much into planning ahead, there are still plenty…

In part one of this week’s Three Course Meal, we gave you a look at Jason Boso, owner and executive chef of Cowboy Chow and Twisted Root Hamburger Company. In part two, we asked Boso to complete our thoughts for us. In today’s final installment he shares a recipe for…

The reliably stupendous sales of pizza on Super Bowl Sunday have inspired makers of pie accoutrements to intercept some of the action. Tabasco sauce has made an annual habit of piggybacking on the pizza industry’s holiday, running radio ads reminding consumers how much a drop of pepper sauce improves a…

Fans of bubble tea consider their favorite beverage an everyday drink, but a local purveyor’s seizing the opportunity provided by the Chinese New Year to expose more potential customers to the trendy tea. Chill Bubble Tea, a Chicago-based company with four locations nationwide, is partnering with the Crow Collection of…

It almost risks redundancy for the 1,000-kilowatt cooking couple of Gina and Pat Neely to do any kind of Super Bowl-related show. Since, by all outward appearances, each of their cooking shows seems choreographed to climax with a whoopin’ and hollerin’ game-style party involving friends and family members too numerous…

Last night was a big night. A big family night. A big Italian family night. As much as I love me some Tre and Tiffany, I was rooting for Fabio big time. If I had the money, I’d want Fabio to record an audio book for me of his own…

This certainly isn’t the week to jog the Katy Trail (Fountain Place is frozen, man!), so instead, Jose Ralat Maldonado — who has traversed the taco scene for City of Ate — and the rest of us implore you to eat. Eat as much as you can to pad those…

On Wednesday, we gave you the goods on Jason Boso, owner and chef at Twisted Root Burger Company and Cowboy Chow. Today, we ask Boso to finish a few sentences for us. Tomorrow, he shares one of his recipes. (Note Boso’s words are after the ellipses.) I was raised in…Miami…

In what could amount to the grandest bit of reverse psychology ever marshaled to sell a soft drink, Dr Pepper has selected the slogan for its new 10-calorie soda. Dr Pepper Ten will be marketed with the tag line: “Dr Pepper Ten: It’s Not for Women.” According to a company…

Dallas eaters who live downtown may be the unintended beneficiaries of this weekend’s anticipated Super Bowl hubbub. While many downtown lunch spots typically shut down for the weekend, at least one sandwich shop has announced plans to stay open this Saturday. For the first time ever, Jason’s Deli on Main…

Whether you’re an out-of-towner looking to celebrate with your…

The mess of wintry weather that roared through Dallas this week couldn’t have been worse timed for Billy McDonald, the legendary pit master whose Deep Ellum joint made the highlight reel of New York Times restaurant critic Sam Sifton’s four-day DFW eating tour. In a story outlining area eats, Sifton…
