Few Dallas restaurants mark their debut appearance on the culinary scene with national coverage on Fox News, but V-Eats Modern Vegan did just that, thanks to their all-vegan brisket. Not all Texans, it seems, are ready to chow down on vegan barbecue. Now that the spotlight has turned elsewhere, V-Eats…
Remember when we told you about The Morning After, Dallas’ first brunch festival, coming to the Dallas Farmers Market in February? Well whip out those wallets, because pre-sale for the inaugural event starts today. This day-time brunch-sampling event — going down from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 11…
Nestled in a shopping center on the corner of Keist and Hampton in sunny Oak Cliff, newly opened Maskaras Mexican Grill has entered the crowded ring of taquerias and Mexican restaurants in the DFW area. Not that there is anything wrong with more tacos in Dallas — Dallasites are more…
Much of DFW’s best international fare is located nowhere near the city center. In fact, the greatest immigrant cuisine is often found by traveling out to the suburbs where international enclaves create tiny villages rich
with food, shopping and culture.
There was a television And a red hot, too And a picture of A sausage being charmed by a dude And there were three bearded tools sitting on stools And two smiling cashiers And a couple of beers And a giant mirrored knife And the best onion rings of your…
The note on the door of Matt’s Tex Mex in Roanoke, dated Dec. 9, says the owner, Matt Martinez III (no relation to the author), has until today, Dec. 12, to vacate the premises, as the lease agreement has been terminated due to nonpayment. Apparently they didn’t need that long to pack…
Lucky you! Some rich relative of yours — maybe an uncle, or your little brother who got that job at Google, or long-lost cousins who feel bad about neglecting their family — is visiting Dallas for the holidays, and wants to treat you to a lavish dinner. Where to take…
The holiday season manifests itself in a variety of ways in the coffee world. There’s the endless, inescapable Christmas music in cafes, Starbucks’ annual war on Christmas and a concerning absence of Festivus poles. Perhaps you’ve noticed that many local coffee roasters are also offering limited, holiday-oriented coffee blends. While…
By all accounts, 2016 has been a real dumpster fire of a year. The abysmal election (and its depressing aftermath), the loss of creative forces like Prince and Leon Russell, the closure of some of Dallas’ most beloved restaurants — for many, this year has not been easy. This is…
We’ve had our fair share of bad news in the Dallas dining industry of late, but this one really stings: Luscher’s Red Hots, purveyors of Chicago-style hot dogs and the best damn burger in DFW, is closing after dinner service on Tuesday, Dec. 13. “Everyone is invited to come bid…
In this week’s DFW dining news round-up, new spots in Preston Center, a surprising re-concept and we hope you dig poke bowls: Two new restaurants are opening in Preston Center, D reports: Go Fish Poke at 6030 Luther Lane and Yolk in the space formerly occupied by LYFE Kitchen. Yolk is…
He’s the comeback kid. The semi-comeback kid. He’s something. John Tesar, Dallas chef and Top Chef’s own “step-dad” (as chef Brooke Williamson so gently put it) barely made it out alive during the first episode of Top Chef’s 14th season. Turns out, the judges didn’t particularly care for his take…
Cross over the threshold and Niwa’s sleek and understatedly seductive interior tells you that you’ve arrived. If the feeling doesn’t strike you immediately, it will no later than when you lay your first meat or veggie gently on the self-serve Shinpo down-draft grill sunk into the center of your table.
Shopping for foodie-types isn’t easy. Chances are, if there’s a curious dish in this city, they’ve tried it — twice. Their kitchen is stocked with homemade chicken stock and a sous vide machine, and you’ve never been able to recommend a hot restaurant that they haven’t already checked out. Even…
El Rincon’s Top Shelf Margarita takes the traditional margarita recipe and pluses it up a little salty, a little sweet, a lotta booze.
The holiday season is a time to be with family, to revisit favorite traditions and to make new ones. But perhaps more important, it is a time to consume festive alcoholic beverages. And what better way to mark the holiday season than with a mixology class at the Four Seasons?…
Since it opened shop in 2014, The Blind Butcher has won over critics and diners alike with house-made sausages, curated charcuterie and a poutine selection that sees a rotation of fatty, decadent meat toppings. A couple of weeks ago, executive chef Oliver Sitrin tucked four brunch items onto the menu. Brunch…
In the corner booth behind me, an elderly man sits by himself and talks to a younger woman at the table across from him. He’s got his iPad out, propped up, and plays a video for her. They’re talking politics. “There was a time when different beliefs could get together,”…
Seeing a woman chasing his train down on foot, a conductor ground the engine to a halt. He feared that tragedy had struck. But it was just Ashton Stauffer doing business. “It stopped for me about a half a mile down,” Stauffer said while seated at a poker table in…
One look at the menu and the awe-inspiring space, including a copper pizza oven that looks like it gave birth to C3PO and the stylishly illustrated wall of wine on tap, and you might think there’s little restraint at Sixty Vines. The menu promises a “cabernet-smothered local Akaushi patty,” caramelized…
The good news: Just a few months after opening their wildly popular brick-and-mortar, Heim Barbecue is opening another restaurant. The bad news (for us carnivores in Dallas, anyway): They’re opening it in Fort Worth. Owners Emma and Travis Heim announced the new location on Facebook today: … we are happy…
We certainly can’t say we saw this one coming: Remedy, the beloved modern soda fountain/purveyor of one of Dallas’ best burgers, is closing Dec. 31 after dinner service, “with plans to open an American/Chinese restaurant in its place late spring/early summer of 2017,” according to a press release. “Kirstyn Brewer…
