What would our diets be without humanity’s lemming-like habit of chasing the latest food fads? The acai berry would remain in the swamp lands of South America, wheat grass would be something we mowed, and Oprah would be lacking show ideas. We’d live in a world where food still serves…

Fuel City is over-hyped. Yeah, I said it. At a little over a dollar per taco, the food here is cheap, sure. But the tacos are just good. Not “MIND-BLOWING!” or “AMAAAAZING!!” like I heard they were going to be. I’m not kidding—everyone I know who’s been to Fuel City…
When our server at Ristorante Nicola finally ambled over to our table, scraping and shuffling just a bit to illustrate the depth of his deference to our dining experience, he apologized not for his belated arrival but for the private party presumably tearing into fat beef tenderloins and decanted Barolo…

First, they said it was the whoopie pie. Then, it was the glamorous macaron. Most recently, cake balls are the frenzy. So, which exactly is the new cupcake? Despite proclamations from blogs and publications, such as Salon and D magazine, of an heir apparent to the cupcake, in Dallas, none…

What do tacos, LED light installations, and douchebags wearing graphic T-shirst all have in common? They were all present Thursday night when we visited the latest addition to the taco joint trend, Rock ‘n’ Taco. Occupying the space that was once Rocco’s Pizza, Rock ‘n’ Taco is the first restaurant…

Opening nights for restaurants are replete with the see-and-be-seen crowd, curious onlookers who want to be part of the first buzz about a new place, shapers of the “Was it good? Did it suck? Pan or Rave?”conversation. Opening night at The Common Table on June 2 gave these same folks…

Welcome to Sushi World. Bring your camera, notify your next of kin and prepare to gorge on raw fish while being completely weirded out. The sign outside Sushi World that reads “open 24 hours” was what dragged me through the doors. I figure, if this place is good at lunchtime,…
Shakespearean plays and American high schools wouldn’t be the same without the requisite set of identical twins. At my alma mater, we shared the halls with a pair of long-haired sisters who could be distinguished only by the French teacher, who swore that they parlez-ed with different accents. The rest…

The fact that Park Cities Prime, a pricy steakhouse with all the trimmings, couldn’t survive in the belly of the capitalist beast of the Park Cities is a testament to something. Of what specifically, it’s hard to say, but in the wake of popping economic bubbles, Park Cities Prime could…
When Hacienda on Henderson was given a one-star review by the Morning News, I knew I had to eat there. In like six months. When absolutely nobody would be eating there anymore. So, this week I checked it out and sure enough: Parking lot was empty and there were zero…
