To prepare for this fall’s Best of Dallas® 2012 issue, we’re counting down (in no particular order) our 100 Favorite Dishes. If there’s a dish you think we need to try, leave it in the comments, or email me. I had no clue what I wanted to order till I…
I’m an unflinchingly loyal Fuzzy’s fangirl. The bright pops of neon on the aluminum walls, the funky T-shirts, the large souvenir cups (which make up my entire drinkware collection), the feta on everything — I’m completely drunk on the marketing Kool-Aid. So when I sauntered into the newest location on…

The new English Premier League season kicks off this weekend, and what better excuse can there possibly be for getting down to a bar, drinking the cheapest beer you can find and joining in some incoherent chanting/possibly having a bar fight? The time difference might make for some early drinking…

This morning, Torchy’s Tacos on SMU Blvd (at Greenville) officially opened and the first 100 people in line at 7:00 a.m. received free breakfast tacos. With the new semester about to start, we all feel better knowing that some students will be well fed. Although, it may add a bit…
Shortly after you take your seat at Rosemont, Deep Ellum’s newest breakfast, lunch and brunch spot by Local’s chef and owner Tracy Miller, you’re presented with a small porcelain-white bowl that could just as easily land on a snack table in a preschool. Miller chose this as the first food…
I feel like I’m not the novice I used to be with these reviews. When I started out I didn’t know what brisket was, what heavenly planet barbecue sauce had descended from, why I could just suddenly order meat by the pound now (and why I’d never been able to…

Go Loco is a new taco fast-casual chain on mission to fill the bellies of travelers along the great highways and byways all across Texas. It’s owned in part by Jim Baron, president of Blue Mesa Grill, David Pencsak of TNT Tacos in Austin, along with Ali Sharaf, president of…
If humans are anything, they are adaptable. When I lived in D.C. I had a serious cheese steak problem. After a night out with friends, if burritos weren’t immediately available I’d be willing to walk miles for a cheese steak. I did it many times. I’m convinced this habit has…

It’s that time again. This week I reviewed Acme F&B, the whole hog restaurant on McKinney Avenue with a looker of a dining room. It’s a great place for a drink, and if you’re hungry they have one hell of a pork chop. Elsewhere on the blog we took a…

In a city bulging at the seams with gluttonous plates of nachos, barbecue, hamburgers and fried chicken, it’s hard to nail down the highlight reel. The options are bold and plentiful. Few, however, have the girth of an extra large “Big Meat” from Serious Pizza in Deep Ellum. It’s a…

Without the neutral colors, sleek design and healthy food, Start could be a Raising Cane’s, or (gasp!) even an Arby’s. Diners order and pay at a register, grab drinks, and sit to wait for their names to be called. The open kitchen delivers food in a fast food-style, with labeled…
Each week, Alice “Cheap Bastard” Laussade scours the city for good, cheap lunches. Well, most weeks. Many weeks. OK, she does whatever she damn well please when she freakin’ feels like it. (We don’t argue. The woman carries a shiv. Rumor has it, she’s on parole.) This week, she felt…
Chefs Colleen O’Hare and Jeana Johnson have built a solid reputation with Good 2 Go Taco, their upscale taquería in East Dallas where customers can indulge in brisket tacos while bathing in the rich smell of freshly roasted Cultivar Coffee. Brooke Humphries and Brianna Larson have a bit of a…

Barbecue isn’t just a dinner food. Oh no. It’s a round the clock affair (although my mooted chain of restaurants Brisket for Breakfast is yet to take off). Many lunch-only barbecue venues exist around Dallas, and what nicer midpoint to the working day is there than an injection of hot…
