I don’t want to jinx it, but if this cool spring weather pattern keeps up, we’re going to have a lot of time to sip our beverage of choice out on the patio. We’re almost halfway through April and it’s still hoody weather after the sun goes down. Maybe that…
If nothing else, Brewsters is proof that more is always better when it comes to burgers and beer. And bacon. New to Fort Worth’s burgeoning West 7th neighborhood, it joins American F+B, Rodeo Goat and a host of other crafty grub spots. But this place has a distinct, sporty vibe…
Tucked behind the AMC ticket counter at Northpark Mall is Green House Market. We’ve talked about it before around here, and maybe you visited the concept in its previous life as a food truck. I finally went after seeing a movie this weekend, and I have one message for you:…
Yesterday my phone rang with an unrecognized number. I upgraded my phone a few months ago and lost about 10 percent of my contacts, and since calls from numbers that aren’t in my contacts usually end up being of a sales pitch of some sorts I always let it go…
If you haven’t heard the news, Yelp is now searchable by emoji, which is awesome if you happen to be a tween girl looking for the closest available ice cream cone. The new feature went into effect recently and allows users to search for food based on tiny pixelated icons…
Yum! Brands, the parent company of KFC and creator of things like Doritos Locos Tacos, opened a new chicken concept in Central Arlington Wednesday called Super Chix (612 W. Park Row). This test store is the only one of its kind in the country, and while the two main menu…
If you hadn’t seen them hoist the sign into place, or otherwise been familiar with Victor Tangos’ facade, you would likely miss it. The new sign bearing the restaurant’s name was bolted into place recently, marking some changes that have been more than a year in the making. The new…
Dallas loves its half-priced food and drink deals. That’s why we built this calendar of half-price food and drink specials, listing the restaurant, special and time under each date. We’ll do our best to keep you up to date on a large chunk of weekly half-priced food and drink specials…
Fast food breakfast is coming in all sorts of portable shapes and sizes these days. There’s the billfold shape, the cylinder, the oddly perfect sphere and the oblong doughnut, and — looking at you,Taco Bell — the frisbee / ninja star. Thanks to the enduring charm of the fast food…
On Saturday, the third iteration of Dallas’ Big Texas Beer Fest went down at the automotive building in Fair Park. Every year that Chad and Nellie Montgomery have hosted the event, it has sold out — a testament to the huge interest in craft beer in North Texas and their…
We love it when two of our favorite things find each other amidst all the chaos and clutter in life to forge a happy union of any shape or form. Especially if it’s bacon and homemade custard. Or bacon and peanuts. Or bacon and anything. We’re really open here. That’s…
Since her appearance on ABC’s popular cooking show The Taste, Chef Uno Immanivong has been on a pretty wild ride. Just a year and a half after filming the show alongside mentor Anthony Bourdain, Immanivong is three months into owning her first restaurant. That restaurant, Trinity Groves’ Chino Chinatown, serves…
Sorry if this reads like One Hundred Years of Solitude. There are a lot of people and places involved. And even ice. Stick with me. Remember Chef Kyle McClelland? Our very own Lauren Drewes Daniels interviewed the chef when he took over the menu at Cedars Social back in 2011…
“Shark! And it’s so good — little kick but good.” So said Lockhart Smokehouse in a tweet announcing their latest menu special. Smoked shark was available in Oak Cliff, and since owner Jill Bergus is a bit of a power Twitterer, the message quickly circled the globe. The problem is,…
At some point in the near future, it is going to be warm outside. Not long after that it will be summertime, and you’ll enjoy poolside shenanigans, bike rides, and walks on hot asphalt that will make you wish it was December again. Winter, of course, won’t come for months…
There is little better about life than cheese, especially the good stuff that you get at places like Scardello Artisan Cheese in Oak Lawn. Fancy cheese plates are expensive at restaurants, but it’s easy to do a good DIY job at home — if you know what to get. Cheesemonger…
With Knife opening just a few weeks from now, it’s almost expected that Dallasites should have beef on the brain. John Tesar claims his soon-to-open Temple of the T-bone will be the terra firma equivalent of his nationally acclaimed seafood restaurant Spoon, and if pulls it off protein lovers could…
If there is one image that sticks in my mind most from the White Rock Lake Local Market, besides one of Luscher’s Red Hots ascending toward my face, it was that of kids streaming away from the van pictured above, popsicles in hand, faces painted in a rainbow of orange,…
Stephan Pyles’ replacement for Samar was announced earlier this week. San Salvaje, which translates to “wild saint,” is expected to open at the end of this month, and it sounds like it’s shaping up to be the most interesting restaurant he’s opened to date. The old Samar focused on Indian…
Michael Martensen has announced that he and partner Sal Jafar II, co-founder of Driftwood in Oak Cliff, have taken over the One Arts space that used to hold The Greek. The barman responsible in part for Smyth and Cedars Social (he’s since parted with both bars) plans to open Proof…
So we hear there’s a little basketball tournament in town this weekend. Every hotel room in Arlington is sold out. Jerry World will be hoppin’. It’s a commendable salute of solidarity with your alma mater. And we know you’re going to want to really make the most of your vacation…
Wim Bens founded Lakewood Brewing Company in 2011, riding one of the early craft beer waves to wash over North Texas. He sold his first keg of beer in August of 2012, and his brews now pour through busy taps all over the city. Bens was born in Belgium but…
