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 in a city like Dallas. Equal opportunity eateries are the kind of restaurants where vegans and non-vegans alike can eat in harmony…

Tracy Miller walks through her restaurant. It’s 9 a.m., hours before staff will arrive, which means the only other sound is our footsteps causing the 100-year-old wooden floors to groan. She wants to make it clear that she didn’t grow up wanting to run something like this. Running a quiet,…

In mid-January, Plano got four new food offerings in one with the opening of LC Kitchen, a “food hall-style restaurant” located off Legacy Drive near a glut of Asian restaurants and grocery stores.

White Rock Alehouse and Brewery has a lovely environment by the lake where you can relax with friends and have some pretty decent beer. They also serve brunch — but the beer may prove more enticing. The brunch menu dominates half of the back of the everyday menu, highlighting meals…

For whatever the reason, it’s a quiet afternoon at Terilli’s. The first floor is missing diners entirely, each table dressed up with white tablecloths and a yellow rose in the center. The bartender is cutting limes and leans over the counter to tell a story: He’s having a strange day…

The storm is over. That’s what it felt like in Smokey John’s on the last Tuesday of January. Not just because the lunch rush had finally subsided, but because they were finally back open after 15 months. The restaurant, which had been closed over a year after a devastating fire,…

It comes as no surprise that Aldo Sandoval, the culinary mastermind behind Baldo’s Ice Cream and Coffee, is not only a chef, but an artist. Who else would dream up inventive flavors like winter spruce, olive oil and cinnamon cayenne? The Art Institute of Dallas grad has poured his creative…

The restaurant group behind Flower Child and North Italia is opening a new “neighborhood restaurant” in Uptown next month: The Henry, a new American bar and restaurant from Sam Fox Restaurants. The Henry is opening its third location — others are in California and Arizona — at Uptown real estate…

San Martín, a Guatemalan-based bakery and restaurant, is now open in Uptown. Set off of McKinney, San Martín is the first U.S. location of this Central American concept. The first San Martín was founded in Guatemala in 1974 by Andrés Castillo. The family-owned and -operated business has since opened 41…

When it comes to food, some things are meant to go together: peanut butter and jelly, pancakes and maple syrup, T-bones and cabernet. Now available at the Dallas Farmers Market Shed on weekends, another complementary food match that comes out as a perfect hot-cold dessert triad: fried cinnamon-sugar churros, ice…

It all started, in part, because of a chicken burger. Dipesh Acharya’s home country, Nepal, is in love with burgers. But Nepal is also 80 percent Hindu, so restaurants there can’t make patties out of beef. Local chefs responded with a logical new fusion food: a ground chicken burger graced…

Not loving meat this Valentine’s Day? These Dallas restaurants and bakeries are serving up vegan sweets and feasts.

We all know about paleo, Whole30 and plant-based diets — but what about eating to realign our chakras?

Hotels in downtown Dallas are racing to turn their establishments into hip hangouts by opening multiple bars and restaurants in an effort to entice both locals and out-of-towners. The Statler’s renovation and rebirth included six bars and restaurants: Scout, R&B, diner Overeasy, rooftop bar Waterproof, Fine China and cocktail enclave…

Snooze: An AM Eatery has opened in Oak Lawn. People have already seen it in Addison, Fort Worth and up on Walnut Hill Lane, but now we have it closer to the city center — and that’s a good thing. The breakfast joint is out of Denver, where a source…

It started with a Texas brisket smuggled into Mexico. Back in October, Shad Kvetko, one of the owners of Expo Park mezcaleria Las Almas Rotas, asked Oak Cliff barbecue outfit Mohon Barbecue to smoke a very special brisket — one that would be taken to Mexico and used to produce…

Like the origin of the moon and widespread reports across the country of a persistent low-frequency humming, one of Earth’s greatest mysteries is the calzone. How do we classify this Naples-born classic? Unless there’s been some botched science, it’s not sandwich. Is a calzone a taco? No. Maybe a calzone…

Maracas Cocina Mexicana serves mimosas for $1 during brunch. For some, that’s probably enough to prompt a Sunday visit, so we might as well start out with that. Those mimosas just might be the most memorable part of brunch at this Deep Ellum Mexican eatery. Of course, a few mimosas…
