To celebrate its 11th anniversary, Eno’s Pizza Tavern has an 11-day throwback menu through Sunday, July 21. It opened July 11, 2008, and to commemorate the date, the team came together to develop a menu that brings back some all-time favorites. These include a pantry pub boy sandwich (chicken salad…
A new generation of restaurants is rising in Carrollton’s Korea Town. Across the parking lot from the traditional soft tofu stew shops, dumpling counters and barbecue houses, two recent openings offer unusual spins on Korean-Japanese and Korean-American fusion foods. At Kurobuta Ramen and Tonkatsu, “super spicy” ramen and cheese katsu…
This has been a bad month for Mille Lire, Oak Lawn’s criminally underrated Italian restaurant. On June 30, co-owner Brian Ellard, wife Ornella and her two teenage children were killed in an airplane crash in Addison. The restaurant kept its doors open after the tragedy and Ellard’s co-owner and brother-in-law,…
Chef Kenny Mills reopened his famed Chop House Burgers earlier this year in a small, low-key spot at 2502 Little Road in southwest Arlington. Mills cut his teeth in Dallas steakhouses — Capital Grille, Sullivan’s and Dallas Chop House — before launching Chop House Burgers in 2011 near UTA. A…
The construction team shovels crumbles of scalding hot asphalt into a divot in East Louisiana Street. Just past old downtown McKinney, Cookie’s Mexican Food’s lights are on, despite the street being carved up, and the open sign is askew in the window. Their access, the road near the main thoroughfare,…
Every so often, it’s good to revisit a place you know, an established place that you know will be reliable. Go to enough consecutive bad brunches, and this is a nice break. That break came recently at Fearing’s Restaurant in Uptown’s Ritz-Carlton. It’s a little snazzy and pricey, but it…
Every four years or so, Daniel Vaughn and his team of barbecue cohorts at Texas Monthly publish the TMBBQ Top 50, a veritable who’s who in Texas barbecue. When the latest list was published in 2017, we were happy to report that DFW laid claim to 10 of the top 50 spots…
It’s easy to forget what Dallas lacks until you try a good version of it. At least, that’s what a recent trip to Happy Eats reminded us. The unassuming storefront with a cheesy — or straightforward — name has a dense four-page menu, but what you can really focus on…
Brunch is more than a common practice for the people of Dallas. It’s a way of life, a religious ceremony in which we eat the Benedict eggs and drink the Blood of Mary, and fall into a seemingly eternal, daylong state of oblivion. From mimosas at Public School 214 to…
Budget Bites is a series that looks for the best food and drink deals at restaurants in DFW, because being on a budget doesn’t mean you can’t eat out. The Sirisavath reign just won’t let up. We’re talking about Donny Sirisavath, executive chef of East Dallas’ Khao Noodle Shop, 4812 Bryan…
There are fat bombs for those on keto diets, undressed salads for those scrupulously counting calories and bison bars for some who swear by paleo. For macro-counters and protein junkies, there’s now something other than a steak or a smoothie: Proletas. Greg Garcia isn’t going around to local gyms and…
There is a noticeable lack of Filipino food in Dallas, with only a handful of restaurants in the area. Ulam Modern Filipino Kitchen, a pop-up concept, helps to fill that void. With monthly events at Peticolas Brewing Co. throughout the summer, chef and owner Anna Swann is bringing the flavors…
Reverie Bakeshop has been serving vegan baked goods to Richardson and North Dallas for more than five years. At the time, it was one of the first of now many shops and restaurants offering an expansive selection of dairy-free sweets in DFW. Owners Nancy Castillo and Racene Mendez both come…
Many of us in East Dallas remember Dixie House, which filled that large restaurant space at the corner of Gaston Avenue near Abrams Road with the smell of delicious rolls that constantly came out of the kitchen. Plenty of people were bummed when it closed, and the short-lived Sugarbacon Proper…
The Statler’s R&B closed this weekend.
Wayback Burgers has an, uh, interesting way of doing things.
A new health-focused, grab-and-go cafe has arrived in the ever-growing Victory Park. Hatchways Cafe comes to us from Rebees, the Dallas-based development firm that is opening accompanying Hatchways Workspace, a coworking space similar to WeWork, which has an outpost a few blocks down the road. The interior is bright and…
The new Ceviche Oyster Bar on West Davis, a few blocks from Bishop Arts, brings unpretentious Gulf seafood to a former mechanic’s shop.
A year ago, Andrea Meyer, owner of Bisous Bisous Patisserie, had a massive health scare. In classic Andrea Meyer form, the people who love her sweets hardly noticed her short absence.
What used to be Down to Earth food truck is now Arlington’s new (and only) vegan Mexican restaurant, Down to Earth Vegan.
Our review of Circo TX, published in January, suggested that the restaurant “could stay open for months.” Now we know how many. Circo served its last meal Sunday, after just nine turbulent months after opening. It’s a pity, really. That glass-bottomed rooftop swimming pool had finally opened. The restaurant’s closure…
It seems logical to assume that opening a new restaurant would take lots of planning. Perhaps the future owners would scout locations, do some research about the neighborhood and line up finances. Then there’s build-out, menu planning, stocking the kitchen and training staff. Months might go by, or maybe a…
