Baking demigod Clint Cooper had been making bread for local restaurants, hotels and grocery outlets for nearly a decade before he opened up this retail outlet, churning out baguettes, kouign amman, brioche, croissants and specialty loaves so good they’d tempt an angel to gluttony. So, obviously, we never stood a chance. We’re not saying we’re […]

If you live anywhere near the corner of Lakeland Drive and Ferguson Road, the opening of Whistling Pig was likely big news. While many Dallas neighborhoods have experienced a restaurant renaissance over the years, epicurean developments have been glacial to non-existent here.

In addition to the standard chocolate and vanilla, rotating flavors might include cookies ‘n’ cream, mango or toffee crunch.

This isn’t your standard Mexican-American restaurant buried in a suburban strip mall. Wild Salsa sits smack in the middle of downtown, across from the lush grass, sculptures and dog walkers of Main Street Garden. Serving up great tacos priced from $2.50 to $3.50 apiece and clever sides, like dressed-up elotes and black bean cakes, the […]
Yin’s Wok is one delivery place that has never let us down. Lunch specials come with the choice of fried or steamed rice, a spring roll, soup and, of course, a fortune cookie. Veggie lovers will be delighted with vegetable delight; those not counting calories will salute General Tso’s chicken; and all the lo mein […]
Though the menu is tiny–barely a dozen items–the food reflects laser-like focus. Dumplings and arrowroot noodles are precise and well-seasoned; marinated beef ribs are rich and dribbling with juices. Kimchee is killer. Plus, the huge flat screen in the front of the dining room broadcasts Korean dating game shows; at least we think that’s what […]

The kitchen goes to great lengths to provide good eats, even making the corn tortillas and thirst-quenching peach-mango iced tea from scratch. The foundation and the most popular dishes here […]
