Casa Vieja Restaurant

This Colombian institution in Carrollton is best at the soups available as specials on certain weekends, like ajiaco, a chicken-potato soup made with indigenous corn, or a Caribbean-influenced, curried seafood bonanza. The bandeja paisa, a regional sampler plate, is excellent for newcomers to Colombian cuisine, and the empanadas are good, too. Casa Vieja has a […]

Catbird

Head past the art-splashed lobby of the Thompson Hotel and up to floor 9C, and you’ll find Catbird-a bar that’s not just a vibe, it’s a full-blown aesthetic. Housed in a former bank, you enter through a tunnel of flowers that feels like you accidentally wandered into an out-of-place wedding, only to emerge in an […]

Cattleack Barbeque

In an industrial park in Farmers Branch, Cattleack Barbeque lives up to every bit of hype it’s received. Fabulous fatty brisket and extraordinary pulled whole hog are the stars of the show, as is a vinegar-based coleslaw. Grab another bite of slaw and you’ll be prepared to tackle that next slice of Texas hot link. […]

Cavalli Pizza

Cavalli was the Dallas area’s first pizzeria to become VPN certified, and while they’ve since let that award go, they’ve recently added an APN certification, which focuses on the pizzailoi directly. Either way you’re likely to get a solid pie in both their Irving and McKinney locations.

CBD Provisions

This jewel in The Joule, headed by Executive Chef Richard Blankenship, features a surprisingly astute take on the In-N-Out burger (double grass-fed beef patty, “fancy sauce,” lettuce, tomato, pickle and onion), plus Pig’s Head Carnitas that are a culinary plunge worth taking.

With a staff that has decades of program experience on a national and local level, we hope to create an art program that will be a legacy for generations to come. […]

Celebration

Celebration feels like a vacation. It has the smell of a hunting lodge, with lots of wood, stone and simple copper-topped tables. There are no appetizers, so decisions are focused. There are no reservations. Just rib-sticking meals you used to get at your great aunt’s house before she discovered Emeril and sank your inheritance into […]

Celestial Beerworks

This locally owned and operated brewery in Dallas’ Medical District specializes in New England-style hazy IPAs. They produce a plethora of beers; often multiple new beers each week. Celestial hosts a lot of events weekly and annually. Follow them on social media to keep track. They have a large tap room and patio.

Central Market

Central Market is Mecca for foodies, plain and simple. Whether it’s single-origin coffee beans, orange blossom water, 10-year-aged cheddar or $120-a-pound Iberico ham you seek, this maze of a grocery store has it all. A behemoth of a produce section offers no fewer than 10 different kinds of potatoes, not to mention fresh juices, pricy […]
