The former (and in our minds, original) Carbone’s Fine Foods has been reincarnated as Barsotti’s. The trappings of the new space feel a little more upscale since the remodel, but the restaurant still executes classic and unpretentious Italian fare. Classic dishes like vodka rigatoni or lasagna Bolognese stream through the dining room regularly. Be sure to […]

Pick a schnitzel, any schnitzel. Plano’s strip mall gem, Bavarian Grill, which has offered fine German/Bavarian fare since 1993, is still totally worth the drive north. Their lightly pan-fried Rahm schnitzel with a light cream sauce is divine indulgence. And oh the Spätzle. The fresh pasta is a perfect counter to red cabbage and an […]
If you’re a serious cartophile (that’s a map lover, obviously), you’ll want to pay this Design District gallery a visit. Besides hundreds upon hundreds of maps dating all the way back to the 1700s — you know, when they were still handmade, ornate and not at all Google-ish — they also offer reproductions for the […]
Promising fresh, fast, burgers, steaks and sandwiches, this Houston-based fast food chain comes endorsed by Texas Monthly. The massive half-pound patties dwarf typical fast food options, and they should, since a burger here starts at $7.25. The meat is ground in house fresh each morning, and grilled to order – they’ll even deliver a rare […]

Ben’s Cookies – contrary to the name – aren’t actually Ben’s. Rather, the European cookie shop is the brainchild of Helde Rubenstein, who started baking cookies at her Oxford home kitchen in 1983. Today, the Ben’s Cookies logo is universally worshiped, with locations around the U.K., Asia and the Middle East. Dallas’ Snider Plaza location […]
This yoga studio/live music venue has built quite a rep with its booking of both local and national acts in an acoustic setting. The intimate intentions of their concerts work specifically for the artist onstage and promotes interaction. A good alternative to any loud raucous venue.

Bernie’s is tucked away inside Preston Tower down a dim corridor with no signage announcing it’s even there (none that we saw, anyway), but a visit here plays out like a trip back in time. Bernie’s gives speakeasy vibes. The decor is vintage art deco, the atmosphere is classy and the playlist offers the likes […]
A good place to start here is the biscuit and gravy omelet made with fluffy eggs stuffed with biscuit pieces and topped with a creamy sausage gravy. It’s like the two popular breakfast foods had a baby. And it’s a tasty one. They also have hearty dishes like steak and eggs with an 8-ounce steak […]
From the street, this might look like the average strip-mall pizza parlor, but once inside things change. The tables are covered in earth-tone tablecloths that match the seat cushions. Obviously, some thought went into Besa’s. That by itself distinguishes Besa’s from most slice shops in town. The counter service is still there, as are the […]
Maurice made a mess, a delectable, delicious mess, which he spilt all over Beth Marie’s old-fashioned floor. OK, so you can only assume this kind of occurrence helps dessert connoisseurs come up with creative nicknames for their one-of-a-kind concoctions. Beth Marie’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream probably didn’t name its Maurice’s Muddy Mess flavor after a […]

Big Al’s offers them big and smoky for the grizzled workingman. The eponymous sandwich comes with two meats wedged into a po-boy bun. The meat combos extend to the dinners. How about a three-meat meal of turkey, chopped beef and ribs? Everything is served cafeteria-line style, but the station hands are at the disposal of […]
Targeted at Asian-American millennials, Big Claw’s menu encompasses Chinese street foods, noodles and stir fries. The fare spans numerous regional cuisines, but it’s all delicious. Using a pencil, mark your order directly onto the paper menu, and be sure to choose at least one rice noodle dish – the noodles are perfectly tender and served […]
