Steel City Pops will open its third location in the DFW area, this time in Garland’s Firewheel Town Center. Vending and logistics manager David Pressley says he hopes the storefront will be open sometime in June, just in time for the peak summer heat. Customers who enjoy watching the pops…
There is no shame in enjoying a little Chick-Fil-A from time to time, even for the most ideological among us. But if you were still feeling guilty about your weekly hangover remedy, you may never have to worry about giving your money to those homophobes ever again. Instead, you’ll be…
East Dallasites are already getting to know their new late-night dining option. Buzzbrews, the 24-hour diner with three additional locations in the Dallas area (and another planned for Victory Park), recently opened its doors and let customers into a colorful dining room. On a recent weekday morning, the space was…
Highland Park Village has decided to go in a different direction with its latest restaurant. After the departures of Patrizio’s, which moved to Uptown, and Village Kitchen, which was jettisoned down the Trinity River, a new, more casual dining experience has risen from their ashes. It has burgers, but you…
Though it’s not directly associated with Trinity Groves, I think Phil Romano can mark the first success of his incubator project. Blythe Beck’s lengthy stint at Kitchen LTO has yielded Pink Magnolia, a pop-up permanent restaurant that will open in Oak Cliff later this summer. Casie Caldwell’s involvement, on the…
I would like to address the Hamburglar. Hamburglar: It has come to my attention that you’re back, for some reason, and I wanted to check in with you. There are only a few times a year I’m at McDonald’s. Most often, I order it at the airport. Somehow, a two…
Michelle learned to love ramen as a teenager, growing up in Singapore and traveling around Asia with her family. Brian is newer to the scene: He didn’t even try instant ramen in college. Together, they’re hunting for DFW’s best ramen. The Shop: Hanaki Disclaimer: This review is slightly biased because…
Tucked away in a residential neighborhood, on Stults Road just off Forest Lane, the Buddhist Center of Dallas sits quietly six days a week, providing a solemn refuge for area Thai Buddhists looking to get closer to enlightenment. There’s a manicured garden out back, and down just a few steps,…
The Highland Park location of Patrizio’s, which closed earlier this year after 25 years of service, reopened quietly in Uptown earlier this month. The restaurant will host a grand opening party Thursday, and then make an attempt to create 25 years of additional memories in the space that held Private Social…
Andy Sedino knows a few things about barbecue. For over a decade, he worked for the Rudy’s barbecue chain, helping them grow throughout the North Texas area. After parting ways with Rudy’s, Sedino started his own barbecue and catering company, Meat U Anywhere BBQ. Success in the catering business encouraged…
It’s likely the most anticipated restaurant opening since Remedy doused Greenville Avenue for the first time last year, and it’s certainly the most hyped. Uchi has announced a June 1 opening date, giving Dallasites another reason to celebrate this Memorial Day Weekend. In just days, Dallas will be the newest…
With all the rain we’ve had recently, you might not have considered that summer is coming, and with it the loving embrace of triple-digit heat. It’s hard to get motivated for outdoor dining or a drink on the patio when the sun is blaring on your back like a blistering salamander…
Just when you thought it was impossible to improve on the delicious, slightly bigoted glory that is a Chik-Fil-A fried chicken sandwich, Yum! Brands came along and blew your mind. Super Chix, the fast food conglomerate’s fast casual, one-location concept in Arlington, was somehow better than its fast-food inspiration, if…
“Made for dadbods by dadbods” read the sign outside Zoli’s when I swung by for lunch last week. Inside, a large unicorn head is mounted on the dining room wall. It hangs catty-corner to a painting of a stormtrooper riding a stallion. They made a “white girls” pizza to mock…
Village Bakery’s Boulangerie opened on Monday, and the entire block of Lower Greenville has broken into a feverish bout of Francophilia. The tables and chairs set outside of the bakery were all taken during a recent lunch hour, and more folks ate at a narrow counter than ran along the…
There’s something terrifying about food hybrids. For example: When Pizza Hut human-centipeded a hot dog into a pizza crust, the entire planet cringed. When food scientist Guy Fieri announces new creations, like tater tot ravioli and hot donkey nachos, it’s fair to experience bouts of night terrors. A torta and…
The second the seal on the brown paper wrapper is broken and Uncle Herky reveals himself, you know the next few moments of your existence are going to require focus and perseverance. Cheese clings to the paper, and bacon, if you’ve added it (which of course you did), protrudes from…
It was not so long ago that brunching hours were constrained to a narrow window, but with millennials and bottomless mimosas this window has expanded into a timeless void where weekend sobriety and productivity fall victim. So when Plano restaurant Mexican Sugar announced they would begin brunch service on Saturdays…

Guy Fieri, the Liberace of unremarkable American cuisine, rides again in North Texas. The Food Network star and kitchen magician has opened a walk-up burger stand at Gexa Energy Pavilion, the creatively-titled Guy’s Burger Joint…
Tacos, thankfully, are not a trendy food. They’re eternal, always there for us when we’re broke and hungry or have had too many beers. Despite our fair city’s culinary shortcomings in certain respects, our taco game will always and forever be strong. Still, most of the great tacos are limited…
Sides are usually buried on some lower quadrant of the menu, only noticed after every appetizer has been fawned over and every entrée debated. Only when a particularly hungry member of a dining party asks, “Do you think we should get something for the table to share?” do eyes turn…
