Another year, another sensational new taco restaurant on Singleton Avenue. The story of West Dallas is one of gentrification, generational change, young politicians clashing with old and a “restaurant theme park” that changed everything. But another part of the story, and a less flippant part than it might sound, is…

More than 40 years ago, a restaurant and bar by the name of Chelsea Corner took up residence on the corner of McKinney and Monticello. It was adopted by SMU students, area residents and workers alike as a beloved neighborhood hangout, a place where you could grab a slice of…

Pho is served at La Me, but not too many people seem to order it.

For 13 miserable years, the United States experimented with Prohibition. It shuttered saloons but gave rise to speakeasies, hidden bars that met the demand of those who still wanted an occasional drink. A new restaurant in Lewisville is paying homage to America’s semi-booze-free era: Prohibition Chicken. Part chicken shack, part…

The first bao to land in front of me is the Angry Bird. The chicken has been brined in soy sauce, peppercorns, salt, sugar, vinegar, tossed in follow-up marinade, then given a coat of panko and flash0fried. Dill pickles, the ones that like to sit in your fridge for months,…
