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…
There have been whispers — David Haynes has heard the gossip from friends — that he’s restaurant cheating. It’s been about five years since he and wife and business partner Catherine Jacobus opened the doors of a thin-crust pizza joint on the corner of Elm and Good Latimer, and they’re embracing…
You can get a lot of international cuisines in Frisco. And thanks to the new Aussie Grind, you can add Australian fare to the list.
A Chicago-based concept called Foxtrot is opening a “contemporary evolution of the corner store on McKinney Avenue in Uptown on June 25.” The all-day concept — a popular idea in Dallas right now, as evidenced by all-day destinations like The Henry and Tribal All Day Cafe, which serve everything from…
If you have a mediocre meal with fantastic service, there’s a good chance you’ll walk away feeling generally well about the experience. But when you have a subpar meal with service that seemed to have a goal of making you wait, and you’ll walk out wanting your money back. At…
Matt Pittman wasn’t born in Texas, but he barbecues like a native. After his first exposure to true Central Texas barbecue, Pittman’s passion for smoking meats grew quickly, and soon he was a regular on the competition barbecue circuit. In 2014, he landed a spot on Season 5 of the…
By and large, the standard fare at most Texas barbecue spots doesn’t stray too far from center. Brisket, sausage and ribs define true north, with beans, coleslaw, and mac and cheese the likely side choices. That said, we love to see shops flex their creative muscles, and there may be…
Few culinary changes would bring the Dallas area as big a quality-of-life improvement as putting a falafel joint in every neighborhood. We’re working on it, slowly. In the northeastern corner of Plano, Board Bites is setting an example for the kafta revolution.
Char’d wants to be the Chipotle of fast-casual South Asian food.
