Chef Eddy Thretipthuangsin is back, this time with his own new restaurant Kin Kin in Oak Lawn. The first opened in Fort Worth and in the near future four restaurants will be open in the DFW area. The appetizers are good here, with beef jerky, chicken meatballs, pork sate and handmade dumplings all providing the […]

Thankfully, Dallas has Knox Bistro to show off the best that French cuisine has to offer in a much more approachable fashion. Knox Bistro’s menu offers ingredients that aren’t at all complex but are so brilliantly executed that […]
