Thai Chili’s flavors struck with a lucidity and balance rarely seen at Dallas Thai restaurants when it first opened. Everything was fresh, vivid and deftly seasoned. No ingredient was given short shrift. And surprisingly, the restaurant has held true to this course through ten years now. The menu rarely changes, but it’s difficult to grow […]

Try the chicken satay, a tender, curry-marinated chicken strips on skewers served with a rich but not overpowering peanut sauce on the side. We also like the glass noodle curry, a bed of long, skinny translucent noodles sauced in curry with bean sprouts, onions, egg and beef. On their own, these noodles have a neutral […]

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, Eddie “Lucky” Campbell knows a thing or two about bars. The long-time Dallas barkeep, who also owns the Standard Pour on McKinney Avenue and Parliament, resurrected the Thomas Avenue Beverage Company a decade after the original one closed. Campbell has created a space that is smart and […]

Thunderbird’s specialty is Detroit-style pies, straight out of a seasoned 10-by-14-inch steel pan, with almost-burnt cheese crust edges, loaded with Wisconsin brick cheese, toppings and, always, sauce on the top. If such delicious pizza weren’t enough, Jay Jerrier, Thunderbird owner, also put a Cow Tipping Creamery inside of Thunderbird’s East Dallas location for the scrumptious […]

Tables are spread across the dining room, and while a bar sits in the back corner, there’s no posting up for a pre-meal drink, it’s more of a staging area. Diners […]
Two UT students opened their first store in 1999. In 2006, they transported their warm cookies so warm customers could pet them in almost inappropriate ways. This isn’t helped with specials like the All-Nighter Package. If you’re craving the snickerdoodle caress but can’t get downtown, don’t fret. Tiff’s Treats delivers — for a fee. Funny […]
