Cars in the drive-through: 5 Times I wished I’d just ordered multiple maltshakes: 500 My recent Dallas cheap restaurant quest: find the perfect combo restaurant. I’m not looking for fusion. I’m looking for a combo. Like Cool & Hot Taco, where you can get tacos as well as a million…
Be on the look out for Enticed, a gourmet shaved ice truck (not to be confused with smushed, grinded or jack hammered ice). Yesterday I talked to Lauren Noblett, the truck’s shaved ice expert, and she divulged the secret to their delicious snow cones, which I promised not to share…
Head just east of West Village and you’ll discover a new spot that feels like you traveled a lot farther east. Baboush transports you with its elegantly appointed Moroccan décor, unique drink menu and modern interpretations of classic Lebanese and Moroccan dishes. I’m pretty much always in the mood for…
“Ain’t no party like a grilled cheese party. ” I love that line, but for Ruthie’s Rolling Cafe, it’s a mantra. And if you’re a grilled cheese aficionado and follow the food truck’s tweets, you too will have the lyric so completely stuck in your head you’ll question your sanity…

The sign outside the Heart Attack Grill beckons, but not like most. “Over 350 Lbs? Eat for Free” the red neon glows, calling out to Dallas’ morbidly obese, enticing them to come inside to indulge in the ultimate gluttony. Ah, but there’s a catch. A large scale sits in the…

Those Al Biernat’s MILFs ain’t got nothing on the 2-year-old girl who sat behind me at lunch the other day. This tyke was squealing (not screaming, squealing) so loud at La Acapulquena that dogs in Odessa ran for cover. Dolphins in the gulf dove deeper. I don’t know if I…
A couple weeks back we told you Mean Greens, UNT’s sparkly new all-vegan joint, is set to open in a couple weeks. Well friends, that day was Monday, and thanks to some subtle snark from the previous post that resulted in a challenge from a commenter, I felt it necessary…
My love for Premiership Soccer has spurred many secondary obsessions in English fare. I drink far more Guinness than I should and have become a sucker for other session beers. Tetley’s stands out, but is hard to find. I love a hearty lamb stew. And of course, there’s fish and…
Lakita Evans rendered a stroke of marketing genius when she named her home-style burger joint in Waco Fat Ho Burgers. Because, truth be known, she’s no fat ho. Evans just anticipated some fun to be had with the brash name. And, fun it is. The play on words are endless…
My kids’ school a/c was broken by 8:15 this morning. It’s going be a long day for those teachers. But, hey, they’ve had three months off, so they should be good for it, right? Saturday I texted a lady on the PTA, “Did I order a package of school supplies…

Well, the peppers are picked and packed — maybe a little later and less abundant than usual. Harvested in late summer in Hatch, New Mexico, these green delicacies, named for their birth city, have garnered a cult-like following who flock to stores in a mild frenzy upon their arrival. It’s…
I stumbled upon the SSahm BBQ food truck while walking through the Arts District playing hipster bingo. (“Another fedora. Dang. Already got that one. Wait — there’s a dude in somehow-baggy-size-zero skinny jeans walking with a girl in a too-short romper!! She’s got a sugar glider in a bonding-pouch necklace!!!…
The word “craft” denotes a skill or trade. It can also refer to the quality of workmanship of the product that trade produces. All in all, it makes a decent name for a restaurant helmed by a perfectionist chef. Tom Colicchio, who’s built his career serving simple but refined recipes…
Speaking of Preston Hollow pizza … For a place so reluctant to give interviews leading up to its opening yesterday, Dough Pizzeria managed no shortage of coverage on its first day. That may have something to do with the strong reputation of its original location, in San Antonio, which is…
Subs, Mexican, burgers, Slurpees — the strip mall at Northwest Highway and Hillcrest has most of the major food groups covered. It will get that elusive fifth major food group, cheap pizza, in a couple of months. Mimi Ahmedi’s family owns the Joe’s Pizza and Pasta chain. He’s branching out,…
In a tiny space on Davis Street in Oak Cliff, you can find CocoAndré Chocolatier.

On this particular day, Andrea Pedraza…
If you follow burger culture at all, you’re probably aware that The Grape in Lowest Greenville has a noteworthy version. Texas Monthly anointed the burger the best in Texas, and customers have caught on. During brunch last week almost every plate I saw come out of the kitchen was graced…
The hours are somewhat mushy, but this weekend things should be in full swing at the new Velvet Taco (3012 North Henderson), and the “open really late” line stamped on their black and yellow sign will finally ring true. This ain’t no Texas taco. The menu details twenty options, and…
