Remember back when coffee was just … actually, what did it used to be? I have no idea. But, now. Well, now it’s about like royal family baby making. One doesn’t just have coffee. It’s a process that says something about who you are — your allegiances, beliefs, allergies, lactose…

The door is not hard to find. Just off of Knox on Travis Street, between Sur La Table and what will someday hold a restaurant called The Establishment, there’s an unmarked glass door with an illuminated call box. Press the call button and wait. “Do you have a reservation?” asks…

When wife Richard and I learned we were moving to Dallas, we decided to watch some TV shows to bring us up to speed with the place. A European ideal of Texas is one of deserts, cowboys and mild racism. American TV is, of course, all-pervasive wherever you are in…

When I interviewed Alberto Neri for my review of La Banqueta, I pressed the popular taquero for his meat source, which he eventually divulged. Halfway through my second interview he slipped me a business card. Taqueria Y Carniceria Guanajuato, it said. There was a picture of a cow on the…
So you want to open a taco stand? Then you should talk to Philippe Martinez, whose Taqueria y Carniceria Guanajuato supplies many restaurants in Dallas with their animal parts. His new location on Walnut Hill Lane, just east of Harry Hines Boulevard, opened four months ago, but before that he…
Entering Pakpao was refreshing, and I’m not just talking about the fresh lychee juice I ordered. The space is light and warm (probably due to an entire wall of windows along its side), and the staff is friendly, if almost too knowledgeable…
