In our coverage here at City of Ate, we typically try to lean towards high-end foods and unique eateries (OK, on occasion). But, we also know crap sells, mainly because often we’re the ones buying it. And while our fast-food coverage usually highlights absurdity, sometimes it crosses into all-business territory…

It’s a beautiful afternoon to eat and drink outside, and I’m sitting at a picnic table hewn of haphazard and reclaimed lumber, sucking oregano-tinged honey from the webbing between my thumb and forefinger. Dogs circle the tables from below, while a swarm of flies circle metal pie plates on the…

Tomato Pie Pizza recently opened at 11661 Preston Road, on the southwest corner of Preston and Forest, just down the sidewalk from Panera Bread. Owner Ryan Noles relocated, along with a few family members, from the Midwest to test his St. Louis-style family-owned joint in the metroplex. The thin crust…
No doubt many of us are probably suffering from a slight meat hangover after all those holiday weekend grill-fests. Now that Tuesday’s here, it’s back to work and time to detox from all that poolside barbecue gorging. May I suggest you embrace the glorious chickpea? Everyone knows and loves hummus,…

No doubt this Memorial Day weekend you will skewer, scoop and toss foodstuffs on the bright flames of your awesome grill. We sure will. Maybe we’ll throw some snappy Jimmy’s sausage on there too. Maybe some rosemary studded lemons. Some garlic lamb. Some brussel sprouts. Some peaches. Some bison anus…

Creepy business dudes drooling on servers count: 8 Bard count: 0 Chaucer’s Sushi & Grill came up several times when I internetted “cheap sushi Dallas.” So I checked out their website, and let me tell you, the Chaucer’s website is more amazing than any website I have ever seen or…

The dish reads from the Meddlesome Moth’s menu like a classic State Fair artery-clogger: “Nueske’s Bacon Lollipops with funnel cake and maple hollandaise.” Sounds like a food coma waiting to happen, right? Slabs of high-quality Nueske’s bacon are sliced about three-eighths of an inch thick and threaded on wooden skewers…
